We can’t keep piling endless demand onto finite water supplies.
Families can't be left without essential water while AI data centres burn through it.
Madness.
We need long‑term solutions that put living standards first - that means public ownership of water.
Thousands of people are protesting in Albania against Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner’s plan to build a luxury resort on an environmentally sensitive part of Albania’s coastline.
The $1.6 billion development is being led by Kushner's investment firm Affinity Partners.
Albania’s prime minister Edi Rama has defended the development, arguing it will bring investment, jobs and more tourists to the country.
"We could get to a situation where Chernobyl will look like the best case scenario."
Prof Stuart Russell, from the University of California, says governments need to listen about lack of AI control to 'protect people'.
🔊 Today Debate: Is there a crisis of control in AI?
By age five, a child's brain is already 90% of its adult size. So why does early years policy sit so low on the national agenda?
@UEL_News and @Place2Be make the case for earlier, more joined-up investment in children's development.

For a while "only gas and nuclear can provide needed firm power" was the "serious" position in the US.
It's why people like @mzjacobson were attacked as if they were "heretics". Turns out the heretics were right.
UN Special Rapporteur @profbensaul in 2024: "Germany & the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel. They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians"
“Farage has gone as close as he can to what feels like incitement…
...before stepping back and saying, “I’m not suggesting you do anything. I'm just saying it would be normal to feel pure cold rage”.
Farage has been likened to 'Tommy Robinson in a suit' - is there truth in it?
Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party.
That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours.
The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it.
Victoria Derbyshire, "Keir Starmer telling Nigel Farage he has exploited the Henry Nowak case, is he right?"
Telegraphs' Annabel Denham, "Err, no, I don't think the PM is right"
Labour's Tom Hayes, "I'm just shocked by that, you've got a grieving family going through some of the worst experience anyone can ever know, and they've called on Nigel Farage not to exploit the death of their boy; and he literally did that in the House of Commons"
"Nigel Farage was given the opportunity to condemn the violence, which he himself incited, by calling for protests. He could have condemned the violence"
Annabel Denham, "Do you truly believe that the people in Southampton would have not taken to the streets in response to that sickening footage?"
Tom Hayes, "I spoke to the Southampton MP, the vast majority of people in their city protesting, came from outside Southampton"
"On top of that, Nigel Farage said this evening that there will be more to come"
'Nigel Farage's claim, in essence, is that there's actually anti-white prejudice within the police. What's your response to that?' - @cathynewman
'I think he's talking nonsense. The kind of nonsense he's talking is dangerous' - Michael Mansfield KC

There is a growing push inside Parliament for widespread sanctions on Israel.
It's what the public wants. And a new poll shows more than two-thirds of Labour members want tough sanctions too.
This is a fight we are going to win!
Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”
“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”
Very sad that Sir Alex Younger, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, born on July 4, 1963, died of pancreatic cancer on June 2, 2026, aged 62
'He almost seems to enjoy it, it's disturbing.'
@bphillipsonMP condemns Nigel Farage's 'sickening' performance at PMQs, where he ignored calls to denounce violence during protests in Southampton.
France has introduced one of the world’s toughest environmental laws by criminalizing “ecocide” under its Climate and Resilience Act.
The new legislation allows courts to impose severe penalties on companies and executives responsible for severe and lasting damage to air, water, or soil. Convicted offenders can face fines of up to €4.5 million, or up to ten times the profits gained from the violation, along with prison sentences of up to 10 years.
This marks a significant cultural and legal shift, elevating environmental protection to the same level of seriousness as threats to public safety or human life.
The law is part of a growing international movement, driven by activists, scientists, and legal experts, to treat large-scale ecological destruction as a serious crime rather than a mere business cost.
While some critics worry the law may prove difficult to enforce, it reflects a broader recognition that the health of the planet’s ecosystems is essential to human survival.
James Schneider, "Nothing will satisfy Nigel Farage because this rage bait is what gets a lot of views on social media"
"But also Reform UK's whole program responds to the fact that life has got worse for the majority of people in this country over the last 20 years"
"And rather than pointing towards the people who are doing very well, they say the reason for this is because of these migrants, muslims and minorities, they're the problem"
"His political project is to up this kind of problem"
"There is this false narrative of anti white two tier policing"
"There is no systematic evidence of any public bod engaged in structural bias against white people, but there is against black and brown people"
"Met police has been found to be institutionally racist by independent reports"
"These are the reasons why there are efforts to make public bodies less racist"
"What everybody wants is for outcomes can be equal"
How the fuck have we got to this?
Jenrick is trying to defend the indefensible by outright lying.
I never thought I'd be defending Badenoch but what Reform have done crosses a line.
They are a danger to democracy in the UK.
Henry Nowak's mother has said:
"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."
And there you have it.
🚨WATCH: Zohran Mamdani on Efficiency:
"Government efficiency, these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are Republican priorities,
when in fact they're the priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector.
Elon Musk used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people across the country.
Ours is going to be a focus on actually delivering efficiency, not cutting services.
