NEW: BPI research reveals that a Marxist-Leninist group with documented ties to China has been a critical mobilizer in efforts that have blocked or delayed $23.6 billion in AI investment in the US.

Its scalps include 10 data center moratoria, 1 permanent data center ban, and 4 rejected or scrapped AI projects.

In Part II of our foreign influence investigation, BPI exposes the Party for Socialism and Liberation (or PSL) as the political arm of Shanghai-based Neville Singham, and lays bare a national campaign launched by the party to stop America’s data center buildout.

Singham is the subject of multiple federal investigations into his reported ties to the CCP. Our research uncovers the anti-data-center organizing of his activist vehicle, the PSL, across 21 campaigns in 14 states, in roles ranging from lead organizer to one member of a broader coalition.

This report adds to the mounting evidence that China and its surrogates are committed to stopping America’s data center buildout so that Beijing can gain the advantage in the AI race.

Louise Haigh, an ally of Andy Burnham, tipped for a Cabinet role has admitted using AI to help make the case for tax-and-spend reforms.

Trump was obviously lying when he said he would end the Ukraine War in one day. Keir Starmer did the exact same thing when he said he would “smash the gangs”. Journalists should’ve laughed at him the same way

Nothing says REGRESSION more than this.

The Victorians built Hammersmith Bridge for £11 million in today’s money.

In 2019, it was SHUT.

Seven years on, the Government is adamant that it’s not possible to even REPAIR it.

No ambulances, no buses, no vans, no taxis can cross. NOTHING.

Our political class must do what the Victorians PROVED is POSSIBLE.

The Government must pass an Act TODAY and get this done. 👇

Your daily reminder that in Germany if you send your children to private school, you can claim 30% of the tuition fees, capped at €5,000 per annum, per child as a tax deduction. Meanwhile Britain has become a country which punishes people for going private

Astonishing scoop from @johngconnolly in The Spectator today...

The Treasury removed its Numerical Reasoning Test from the department's graduate scheme in 2019 "due to evidence of the test having adverse impact on candidate diversity".

After dropping the requirement HMT boasted that "subsequently, the levels of adverse impact decreased in the 2020 campaign".

The idea that devolution seriously improves public services has been robustly tested in Scotland and Wales.

Perhaps why 9 out of 11 English cities rejected the idea of mayors in the 2012 referendums.

Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money.

Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office.

So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.
