Keir Starmer’s Government Allows UK’s Biggest Polluter to Power AI by Burning Wood Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs accuse Drax of ‘sleight of hand’ as it sidesteps £460 million government subsidy conditions in order to power AI

Tech oligarchs have spent 3 years screaming that their plan is to win the race to AGI, which they define as the point when machines replace the vast majority of human economic activity. They just figured out that we could hear them. Bit late, Jensen Huang. www.channelnewsasia.com/business/ceo...

BBC Question Time now doing exact same with AI they did with Farage? This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice. Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And a Tory MP

Privatised water is such an obvious scam that it's achieved the impossible: getting 82% of Brits to agree on something. The only issue to score higher was the public’s desire for Tony Blair to stick to retirement.

Oh hang on, I see what Blair is up to… He must know that because he’s so universally despised, no Labour leader could ever adopt a policy he suggested, so he’s making sure none of these bad right wing policies can ever be adopted by Labour! Yes, that must be it.

Absolutely fuck off forever.

There was a time where Nigel Farage was openly wooing Elon Musk, and the soon-to-be trillionaire used to be very vocal about his support for Reform. There were no concerns about political interference back then… but, now affiliations have changed, the Clacton MP is spitting feathers!

Haha, this guy has done an amazing job of calling Farsge’s lies out! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"I was once so desperate to find a distraction that I said my phone had been hacked by the Russians"

Spent a lot of the day in the giant humid greenhouses at Kew Gardens today, which also happened to be the UK’s warmest location at 32.3 Centigrade 🔥

“Me paying more tax won’t help anyone else” is quite the take from a “genius of business”. And it’s not politicians “villainising” you. It’s you bozos acting like cartoon villains.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Nothing says “man of the people” like buying a £1.4 million house in cash 😀

Anyone not calling it a wesignation is a coward

NEW from @Ipsos_in_the_UK / @itvpeston Who do the public prefer in a head to head vs Farage and Reform UK? - A Burnham led Labour govt +16 - A Starmer led Labour govt +11 - A Streeting led Labour govt +7 - A Rayner led Labour govt +6

Great Yarmouth - both physically and ideologically far right.

If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

Lets not forget that there is a climate time lag It will take years before we experience the results of a 431 parts per million world by which time emissions will be even higher Yet people still keep voting for pro fossil fuels parties Its a collective suicide mission

In summary - all the parties have been found to have racist candidates, except the Lib Dems, because no one has bothered to check

His closest aide sentenced to 10.5 years for spying for the Russians. Failing to disclose £5m donation and how he bought a house in Clacton. A decade of school antisemitism and racism. Cavorting with Neo Nazis and planning mass deportations. What is the media love about Farage?

There's no mystery about why Farage, Trump, Boris Johnson and others of their stamp get away with things that would instantly destroy any leftwing politician: they're protected by the oligarchs they serve, who own most of the media and intimidate much of the rest.

The Palantir pipeline also includes 4 members of the House of Lords, the ex head of MI6, 2 generals & a former chief adviser to the PM. 3/

NEW: Palantir’s revolving door. A new investigation by @thenerve.news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption. 1/ Link ⬇️

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more

Surprisingly decent of Louis Mosley, Palantir's UK supremo, to use his twitter account to help us promote our podcast about his employer. Thanks Louis! If you'd like to take up his invitation to listen you can do so here: goodlaw.social/c22b7d

"Wondering why there are so many 'experts' in the news talking about expanding oil and gas in response to the Iran War? According to our new DeSmog analysis, there's a common thread linking all those experts: a little known US group called Atlas Network."

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

US evil-corp Palantir have very clearly spelled out their political plans, and this is one of the many reasons why they should have no place in British public services, government, and military. Their contracts need to be cancelled. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Richard Stupid Tice would like to clarify that the £100k in tax he hasn't paid is different to the £92k tax he hasn't paid or the £600k tax he hasn't paid. Just in case anyone didn't appreciate the extent of his tax dodging. I mean fiscal prudence.

We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

GB News repeatedly presented Reform UK and Conservative politicians and activists as being ordinary members of the public, without declaring their political affiliations. Byline Times investigation reveals pattern of behaviour by the Channel, but Ofcom still refuses to act

“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.” Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir. www.ft.com/content/ff70...

We are so lucky to have this wonderful scenery just a short train ride up the coast from Liverpool.

For most of my political lifetime, Hannah Spencer's views would have been indistinguishable from those of a pretty run of the mill Labour MP. That's why opinion column hit pieces depicting the Greens as 'far left' are garnering such little traction.

Michael Portillo as Easter Eggs A thread 🧵

Happy Eater

Inaccurate election bar charts are nothing new. But when we challenged a Reform spokesman on the numbers didn’t apologise or plead mathematical incompetence; he openly admitted that the misleading bar chart was a deliberate tactic. Read about it here:
