btw data centres have 0 limit on how much water they can use!!! ppl out of work bc they cant car wash or window wash and considering the government is pushing the whole people rely on benefits arguments but lets force ppl out of jobs for data centres😍
If Jason Arday were a white middle-class academic, he would not have been hounded by the British press in the way he was.
My thoughts are with his loved ones. May he rest in peace.
Here’s a thought:
Instead of blaming disposable BBQs, how about actually taking on the fossil fuel billionaires driving the climate crisis?
Fund our fire and rescue services properly. Invest in resilience. Stop expanding North Sea oil and gas. Stop backing Heathrow expansion. And stop letting AI data centres guzzle millions of litres of water every day.
Or is it solely just vibes?
“I am damned if I am going to stand on a stage… and be demeaned and humiliated by nobodies.”
Nigel Farage tonight, refusing to attend his own Clacton election declaration.
“Nobodies.”
Just ordinary British citizens who exercised exactly the same democratic right to stand for Parliament that Nigel Farage did.
For years he’s told us he’s the anti-establishment champion of ordinary people.
And then, when ordinary people have the temerity to appear on the same ballot paper as him, they’re beneath him.
I think that tells us rather more about Nigel Farage than tonight’s result ever could.
What Andy Burnham is doing by banning disposable barbecue's is blaming you for the wildfires, not the system that is actually setting fire to the planet.
They're trying to say we must take personal responsibility for things we have absolutely no power over
'Gonna nationalise water, Andy?'
'I love a pasty.'
'How about the cost of living?'
'Northerner born and bred, me.'
'Palantir?'
'Here's my old teacher!'
'Please deprivatise the NHS.'
'Did you know my dad was a toolmaker?'
That's cute. Anyway, British made weapons have been used in Sudan, Yemen and Palestine. Burnham's committment to "re-industrialise" the north with "defence" is a commitment to worldwide slaughter. Greggs is good though
Half of England is in drought after record-breaking heatwaves, yet most of our media want to talk about the "problem" of refugees whilst giving airtime to absurd & dehumanising policies from Reform UK.
Politicians who scapegoat refugees and migrants have no interest in making your life better.
If they really cared, they would take on corporations holding this country to ransom.
They would end the daylight robbery of privatisation.
And they would tackle the real cause of society's problems: a grotesquely unequal economy that sucks wealth away from the majority to an elite few.
