@dodgson_sally Why did a Kensington councillor get accelerated to a national platform?
Can’t be that she is married to Michael Cunningham, an American citizen who works as a Deployment Strategist for Palantir Technologies, heavily involved in government, defence, and healthcare data contracts.
Stop the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ taking place in London on 14 June. Palestinian land is not for sale. Such sales are illegal & unethical. This event should not be allowed to go ahead
The climate crisis is at a turning point. We are already seeing its effects. This is a time we should be pushing for renewables. Instead, the world's largest banks have committed nearly $1 trillion to the fossil fuel industry. Our country, our way of life, the very planet we call home, is being held at ransom by bankers.

@IsabelOakeshott Too true Izzy.
Beheadings all over the bloody place.
We had two in the village just last week.
And if you go to Dorchester you’re lucky to get back out without having your head chopped off.
My wife Bunty was beheaded at least twice in Cranborne recently.😔
Keir Starmer will not have a proud legacy. Posterity will look upon him as a man without a mission, principle, or impact. He is, in every sense, a grey man who had an opportunity to change this country for the better, but doubled down on neoliberalism because he lacked the imagination to think beyond it.

Tory legacy
England social housing lists ‘would take 119 years to clear at current building rate’.
1.3m households waiting, 12198 built.
Govts prevented councils from building social homes to support private developers, push people into private renting.

Echoing our call in the UK, human rights groups in Australia are urging investigations into whether Australian-Israeli dual nationals may have been involved in genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity in Gaza. https://t.co/sJ0dOL48QK
Scotland’s “green data centre” policy framework is in open collapse. More than a dozen Scottish data centre projects in planning, including the £8.2 billion Lanarkshire AIGZ, would collectively draw roughly 6.2 gigawatts, equivalent to one-and-a-half times Scotland’s entire winter peak demand. Scotland’s National Planning Framework 4, the document theoretically governing these decisions, was last analysed in 2022 before ChatGPT existed. Its underlying modelling assumed data centre emissions would be offset by reduced commuting. AI-scale workloads were never modelled. The “green” designation being applied to these projects has no enforceable emissions standard. It is a label, not a standard.

Scottish water to be abused for England's Data centres... Giving them cheap power while our bills remain high to pay a staggering 1 billion to tie into the national grid....get us tae!
Pete Hegseth should be banned from Europe.
What sort of vile cunt goes to a D-Day commemoration and starts spouting Fascist rhetoric?
He lacks all qualifications.
He lacks any intelligence.
He lacks any class.
Stupid. Alcoholic. Twat.
@RichardJMurphy Crisis
= tight supply.
Tight supply
= price increase.
When supply returns the increase stays in place
= profits leap.
Leaping profits
= more cash in brown paper envelopes to MPs.
It is absolutely necessary that every British citizen who goes to fight for the IDF is arrested on their return to the UK in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

It’s objectively fucking terrifying that the Vice President of the United isn’t just furthering an extremist far right fallacy on the global stage, but openly interfering in British politics, all while weaponising the murder of a young man. His poor family.
This is NOT normal.
@AndyBurnhamGM is an absolute disgrace.
If you can’t judge those who flagrantly commit genocide when Jewish scholars, the ICC, Amnesty International, The UN Human Rights Counci, Human Rights Watch, Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, and The International Network of Scholars and Activists for Boycotting Israel's Genocidal Regime unequivocally do, that’s all you need to know to pass judgement on Andy Burnham.
