The Times reporting that Andy Burnham has buckled and given into pressure from the City and senior figures in the Cabinet not to make Ed Miliband Chancellor

Finally!!! The penny is dropping But it will take a lot more than such 'small steps' to even begin to address the climate-driven mayhem that's coming @andyburnham.bsky.social you really need to do so much more than this - as a matter of priority www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 DEADLINE TONIGHT - REGISTER TO VOTE 🚨 We've got a great opportunity to bring hope to Greater Manchester, and build a fairer, greener city region by electing Geraldine Coggins as our first Green Mayor of Greater Manchester. But it's going to be a close election!

Firefighters aren't just fighting flames — they're fighting decades of climate inaction, and @zackpolanski.bsky.social is supporting them.

IN A STUNNING MOMENT OUR NATO ALLY DENMARK JUST HELD ONE OF THE LARGEST ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTS SEEN YET

🚨BREAKING: With over 80 other MPs and Lords, I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for comprehensive sanctions on Israel. The world’s top court is clear. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal - and Governments must act now to end it!

"Farage can be the ringleader of his new circus, we're not here to be one of his performers" The people of Clacton deserve proper democracy.

This is a plan for treason. The billionaires are overthrowing governments, constitutions, civil liberties and human rights. After looting and pillaging their host countries, they are trying to overthrow them to build private fiefdoms to hold on to the stolen wealth.

13th July 1968, at a small backstreet blues club in Birmingham, Black Sabbath played their 1st gig. Originally named the Polka Tulk Blues Band, the group then changed one of their members and renamed themselves Earth then broke up and reformed again as Black Sabbath. #BlackSabbath

Palantir was funded by Epstein and is operated by individuals mentioned in the Epstein files. This is basically a technofascist coup and means to provide impunity for that transnational criminal network.

Schools already treat some life skills, such as swimming, as essential.

Politico on the new Covid inquiry report: "Despite representatives of other parties also suggesting contractors via the VIP lane...only those with Conservative connections saw their proposals win tenders." The system was “inherently biased” towards people with Tory connections.

“It's your freaking moral duty to resist!” Palestinian-American journalist Ramzy Baroud (RamzyBaroud) reacts to leaked October 7 footage of Israel ordering attacks on its own people, and explains why Gaza’s resistance is a moral duty against colonial violence.

One of the largest gatherings of Muslims targeted by far right terrorists and we have close to radio silence... The media, politicians from across the board, pundits... all seem to be taking a minimalist approach... This is how institutional Islamophobia works.

🇧🇷🇺🇸 Brazil President Lula: “The US lied about Iran's nuclear weapons just like it lied about Iraq. It provoked this war. Now Trump says oil owners must pay him 20% for each ship he claims to unblock. That used to be called piracy."

Lindsey Graham was an imperialist warmonger who supported every major US military intervention during his career. He did not care about humanity, or international law, or even US citizens. He served the interests of the US capitalist class and the US proxy regime of Israel.

It’s incredible that people this dumb get the same number of votes as you do.

Adam's spot on here. The Tories are almost in a better position than Labour to reinvent themselves successfully. Labour are handcuffed by being in power and by the legacy of an unworkable manifesto. The Tories have no constraints. But also no self-awareness. Not yet, anyway.

Stamp duty and council tax are terrible taxes. Land value tax could replace both - and Andy Burnham has backed it for 16 years. Who wins? Who loses? What happens to house prices? LVT could drive growth. But it isn’t easy. Our model shows its promise - and its problems.

SQUARE-ROOT of FUCK'ALL Which is all that is required to please Centrists

Would he want 'official' protection by the police, who would know every day what he gets up to and with whom... ...rather than his own hired help who would keep his movements (and absences) private? #ukpolitics #politicslive #wato #protection #r4today

Once you start mass removal of citizenship on political grounds you've stopped functioning as a viable democratic state. But that was always where this agenda was heading.

She told her wealthy donors "I have your back", as she went raiding kids dinners and switched off the thermostats of all our grannies

“Caught between two unacceptable choices, Trump — and by association the US — is in limbo. Trapped, neither in nor out while the military continues to run through operations that have been proven not to work, watching as the weapons stockpile dwindles to nothing, the financial costs spiral…”

What Tories say: You can trust us with the economy! What Tories do: £10bn of taxpayers' money spent on PPE was wasted, COVID inquiry finds. news.sky.com/liveblog-web...

This is sick

This will be perhaps the most insane address to the nation that has ever been given by an American president.

The way this whole story is playing out is deeply concerning And impossible to ignore that this time last week Farage, and Reform’s, funding was the only story in town Now Reform and its leader is playing the tune everyone else is dancing to www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

June heatwave killed up to 440 people a day in England and Wales, data suggests

Great post. The cost of living crisis is about incomes more than prices

My parents line right next to the proppsed site. According to records one farm included in the information you have posted contains a grade 2 listed building …

nothing showing up on Magic as far as priority habitats are concerned (although of course the database is very poor for grasslands).

17/ So it seems that shortly after the UK Govt refused to fund their Morocco-UK power project in June 2025, XLinks went out scouting for land in the same area of North Devon & signed agreements with landowners in July 2025 for a proposed AI Data Centre A year later, the public hear about it. (ENDS)

15/ XLinks' Morocco-UK Power Project had proposed bringing high voltage power cables from Morocco to the Alverdiscott 400kV substation in... North Devon.

14/ I was also intrigued why XLinks Ltd had such an interest in this North Devon site. Why propose an AI data centre here? The answer seems to lie in a previous failed project of theirs, the Morrocco-UK Power Project, which the UK Govt declined to fund in June 2025: xlinks.co/morocco-uk-p...

12/ Anyone wishing to participate in the company's consultation may wish to ask XLinks and SEC Newgate what they will be doing with any information submitted, whether all objections will be published, data compliance etc.

10/ We don’t know the full details of the agreement between XLinks Limited and the current owners of this farmland. But the company made a deal with them a *year* before going public with the plans. This is, unfortunately, how developers & landowners operate: the public are the last to know.

9/ So, what are Stratus Data Developments Ltd? Well, if you look them up on Companies House, and check out the ‘Person of Significant Control’, you’ll find that it’s… XLinks Limited. In other words, the company proposing the AI data centre already have an agreement to purchase the land.

7/ None of this was definitive. So I decided to pay my £7 and buy Land Registry documents for the largest of the land parcels, covering Furze Farm. It’s owned by a farming family who live locally – no surprises there. But what was surprising was one of the clauses in the land title register…

Should it only ever be perceived as a real physical threat, when it’s aimed toward certain politicians?? As opposed to, let us say, a physical threat by the state towards its own citizenry. In short… those forced to ‘react/protest’ about the ‘unfair/unacceptable’ power of said state?

#Politics #Women I would welcome it if women served as presidents worldwide for the next 50 to 100 years; after all, men have had more than enough chances—which they certainly used—to mess things up... 🤔😉

8/ Buried in the land title register document is a ‘Unilateral Notice’ restricting any sale of the land earmarked for the Great Torrington AI data centre. The agreement was made on *23rd July 2025* between the farming family who currently own the land, and… Stratus Data Developments Ltd.
