Spare a thought for Nigel Farage. Who amongst us hasn't accidentally forgotten that a convicted criminal crypto gambler and entrepreneur paid for our staff, security, & housing in the year before the election? Easy mistake to make

"The US, home to Silicon Valley, billion-dollar aid packages to Israel, & lonely but powerful backing against war crime investigatory bodies like the ICC. This week marks both 250 years of US “independence” and 1000 days of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. The latter milestone is more important."

Lisa Nandy and DCMS have binned off the cesspit formally known as Twitter 🚮 We can tackle the concentrated power of social media giants by backing federated platforms like BlueSky and Mastodon. Politicians and government bodies should join, so people aren’t forced to use X or Meta to get updates.

Don't believe a Flocking word

Burnham could hoof Palantir out of the NHS if he becomes PM. A good start, but he needs to go further. It’s time to completely break our dependency on US tech firms. With open source tech, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors. Go big, go for Digital Sovereignty!

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.
