Left Of London

Geographically/politically to the left of London. Science consensus is +4'C by 2100, an extinction-level tipping point. If you want a survivable future act now.

"Picturesque river polluted with sewage just 13 days after being given official bathing status."

Yep the River Avon at Salisbury was designated as a bathing spot on 15th May and just 13 days later on the 28th the EA have to issue a pollution warning due to E. coli levels. What a shambles.

“The real surprise from the OECD’s subsidy numbers is that it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.”

@unojen_wood @0Calamity They needed the threat of Reform to hold the country hostage against, and to define themselves - even if only negatively (as 'not Reform') in absence of having a positive defining vision in their own right.

@smokelessworld Jack personally led the Vote Leave campaign for Brexit, which has been a colossal failure for the country. That's his track record on macroeconomics - the worst decision in British economic history. Treat his latest musings accordingly.

10 years after the Brexit referendum, a serving UK minister Lord Livermore has finally acknowledged the folly of Brexit
“how could a mature democracy make such a self-destructive decision?”

Unbelievable rip off

Our water is a natural monopoly but it's been sold off and handed out to shareholders around the world

We are a guaranteed revenue stream

Any government that cares about sewage and cost of living should be taking EVERY water company into special administration and PERMANENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP whenever they fail to fulfil their statutory duties (which they do often)

This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter

AI oligarchs have stolen the creative work of millions of people — writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary citizens.

It’s time for us to reclaim it.

Suno - a company that trained on "essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open Internet", and argues it does not need to pay to do so - is now valued at $5.4 billion.

They will pay for GPUs, and for engineers, but not, apparently, for the music they use - other people's music - without which their models would not work.

I know lots of musicians who will be upset. I am with them.

🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms Israel bombed a Lebanese hospital for the THIRD time. The ICU is completely destroyed.

A mother desperately rushed to find her premature baby alive amidst the rubble. Washington is fully complicit in these war crimes!

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Senator Bernie Sanders exposes the massive AI scam. He confirms big tech oligarchs literally stole humanity's collective knowledge, art, and research to build models without permission.

The elite class is executing the greatest wealth theft in human history!

🚨 @MazzucatoM on Channel 4:

“Brexit was one of the biggest economic tragedies for this country… sold on lies by Farage and Boris Johnson.”

Brexit reduced our market size, damaged business investment expectations, and left us with weaker growth.

Ten years on, the refusal to hold those responsible to account is striking.

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

This is government being run off the books. It's a catastrophe for good governance and accountability and massively opens the door for corruption. Astonishing, mind-breaking stuff. Serious thought must given to legislating to force retention of messages by PM, Ministers, No 10

UK benefits are so high...

That they are the lowest in the Developed World.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.
