According to Theresa May

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

@HarryScoffin @FreeLeasehlders If it was the Chagos Islands, he’d been buying the freeholds for us.

It’s no wonder the public has worn so tired of him, because it feels like the only lives he’s in politics to improve are Mauritian government ministers.

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

We are exposing the story our political and media class would rather keep hidden.

Starmer cannot help himself.

Labour promised to end leasehold for good.

Now he wants to protect money-for-nothing ground rents until 2068.

This is not the change people were promised.

@HarryScoffin The Gen X politicians simply don’t care, that’s the issue.

@Jacko_DS @hitaboutit2 I don’t think so. The culture is too ingrained. Too many leaders in the squad.

@filissonic @KGB6061 @WeveGotSuperMik Actually he was a very good motivator; which is why teams with Chamakh got champions league football

@LFCLaurie Spurs are a basket case, not sure the Frank comparison is really valid there.

@PolitlcsUK @lukeakehurst Support this in theory and have long argued for reduced VAT on leisure and cinema in particular.

Restricting it to summer makes it more like a bribe for families though, rather than a means to stimulate consumption or means to improve overall societal wellness.

What are Green Party deputy leader Mothin Ali's policies LGBT+ issues?

During his campaign in 2025 for the deputy leadership, Ali declined to express support for LGBT+ rights

To clear the air, @MothinAli needs to make a public statement asap

@FreeLeasehlders @HarryScoffin Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Parliament is sovereign, but the legal hurdles are a convenient excuse for a government that wants to protect the system.

This is why people lose faith in politicians.

Doing this in high streets across the country would

1 be enormously popular
2 not be very hard
3 raise the spirits of everyone overnight

Britain’s shopfronts are ghastly. Cheap garish vape shops and fast food shacks with tatty Chinese crap on the front. Do this!

@KarenJukes2 @Steven_Swinford @pdfleet It’s obvious. We need to stop treating national security as a tribal left/right issue and recognise it is in our collective interests to ensure more self-sufficiency in an anarchic world.

That means conceding that we DO need more renewables AND we need oil&gas in the mix TOO.

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

Sir Tony Blair has accused Ed Miliband of taking an “ideological” approach to net zero and called on him to approve new oil and gasfields in the North Sea to protect households and businesses from energy price shocks

The Tony Blair Institute, the former prime minister’s think tank, said the government should approve new licences for the drilling of the Jackdaw gasfield and the Rosebank oilfield to help address Britain’s “systematic energy crisis”

The report, which was endorsed by Blair, argues that Britain needs to pursue a two-track approach by producing more clean energy while accelerating domestic oil and gas production to reduce Britain’s exposure to global markets

Tone Langengen, a policy adviser at the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) and author of the paper, also said the UK risked falling behind global competitors by solely focusing on clean power

“If the government doubles down on the wrong parts of the system, the UK will remain exposed to the same vulnerabilities,” he said

“But this is also an opportunity to reset — including by accelerating domestic supply to reduce reliance on volatile imports and support UK jobs and tax revenues.”

Catastrophe for UK competitiveness and AI ambitions.

Britain now has the highest industrial electricity prices in the developed world. At 25p per kilowatt-hour, its power costs stand at double the EU average and quadruple those of the US (6p) and China (7p).

But this isn’t just about the death of old industry. Just as cheap electricity determined the industrial powers of the past, it will now determine the AI superpowers of the future.

The real competition is not about who builds the best AI models, but who can afford to run them. Sovereignty in this century isn’t found in “green ledgers” or offshore wind farms; it is found in the physical ability to process Intelligence at an industrial scale.

Britain’s current path is a dead end. There are 140 data centers in the UK’s grid connection queue, representing 50 GW of demand — more than the entire country’s current peak usage (45 GW). For many, the quoted connection date is 2040.

As Intelligence proliferates, productivity will no longer be measured in man-hours, but in Tokens-per-Watt: how many units of ‘Intelligence’ a kilowatt-hour of electricity can buy. With its 25p rate, it is already 400% more expensive to buy Intelligence in Britain than in China or the US.

This is a direct hit to the UK services sector, which accounts for 82% of the economy. As AI automates knowledge work, British firms must 'rent' intelligence from foreign clouds at predatory rates just to stay competitive.

Even if Britain builds domestic AI infrastructure, the 25p barrier means it would be structurally uncompetitive from day one. This leaves only the path of outsourcing national productivity to foreign clouds, a permanent transfer of British wealth.

True sovereignty requires a radical shift to dedicated, low-cost power for compute. Without cheap energy, Britain won’t just lose its factories — it may lose its offices, too.

@joshsimonsmp @AnthropicAI You have grown so much in my estimation in the past week. Thank you for speaking out and pushing for a holistic approach to security.

[Citizen of Nowhere ✪ @CitznOfNowhere]

@s8mb @mr_james_c Especially with all the vulnerabilities they themselves created through policy.

However well intended those policies were, they weren’t made with military grade capabilities in mind.
