Beyond concerning, The European Commission is reportedly considering delaying parts of its landmark AI Act following heavy lobbying from U.S. tech giants and pressure from Washington. Thread Please read! substack.com/@europeanpow...

Israel broke it all. The international mainstream media, prevented from reporting the truth. Israel flagrantly dismantled the rule of international law, they ignored the rules of military conduct regarding civilians and residential areas. m.youtube.com/watch?v=4VPf...

This is what I have to put up with on X.

TBI received early access to the AI action plan they would publicly endorse. This is corruption: Private funding of policy development + early government access + public endorsement + funder profits from resulting policy.

Take a look at our MIRO Boards mapping the full extent of govt and corporate partnerships in the nationwide rollout of deregulated freeports and SEZs across the UK. All subsidised with State aid. Tories and Labour +corporate reps sitting on the free zones boards consortia. miro.com/app/board/uX...

The Smoking Gun: Oracle, Tony Blair, and Textbook Corruption Let’s begin with what we can prove beyond doubt. The Money: Larry Ellison, Oracle founder and Trump associate, has funnelled over £300 million to the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI). Thread open.substack.com/pub/european...

Oracle already holds £1 billion in existing UK government cloud contracts with the Home Office, Ministry of Justice, and Department for Work and Pensions. In November 2025, the Home Office quietly extended Oracle’s deal by £54 million for five years.

Morgan McSweeney despises the left, this why Starmer’s Labour Party was ‘changed’, and why they are in hoc to corporate donations and corporate infiltration of government. 1/2

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

In November 2024 Starrmer announced that his government is in partnership with US Blackrock, a mega corporation that buys up just about anything with pension funds, and money from investors/shareholders at a higher-than-market-value value price. Thread

This whole millionaire/billionaire/trillionaire infiltration of the highest levels of government has to be the most singularly destructive threat to western democracy we have ever faced in our history.

This is why BlackRock, Microsoft, and Amazon are rushing to lock in 25-year licenses for data centre infrastructure while chips are still available.

Attention, UK! “Free economic zones” are a colonial feature of global capitalism typically used on poorer countries to extract wealth—at the expense of the self-determination and well-being of the people there. Their use in the UK is an imperial boomerang for sure

Brexit was about setting up a corporate welfare system for foreign and domestic mega companies. Access to this 'New Magic Money Tree' lies within SEZs, Freeports, and AI Growth Zones, where laws and regulations are 'relaxed' to enable economic growth and innovation...for them only. 1/3

On 13 January 2025, Keir Starmer announced his flagship policy for Britain’s “AI revolution”: AI Growth Zones. ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ These zones are deregulated corporate playgrounds. Communities pay for soaring bills, environmental devastation, with zero democratic say. open.substack.com/pub/european...

Blair wants to ban workers rights. Join the dots The nationwide rollout of Freeports, SEZs, and AI Growth Zones are carve outs where different laws and regulations apply separately from the host country.

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever

Here's the uncomfortable truth that no one in Westminster wants to acknowledge: the entire premise of AI as a revolutionary economic force is built on foundations of sand, propped up by venture capital and sustained by collective delusion. substack.com/@europeanpow...

Data is the new oil. Starmer's January 2025 AI Growth Zones obsession is grounded in two forms of capitalism: Disaster Capitalism and Surveillance Capitalism Thread

"This is not opposition to Conservative policy. This is enthusiastic continuation under a different logo. The political theatre of party conflict obscures a deeper continuity: both major parties are committed to what can only be called corporate capture of the state."

Lower bills. Tax billionaires. (And no to Rosebank!) youtu.be/em__qJO8Fy0?...

Corporate Welfare Drax receives subsidies for burning wood to produce electricity. £869m last year. £458.6m a year for 2027-2031. UK Govt not taken equity stake. In 2024, paid £97m dividend, £300m share buyback Drax electricity is the most expensive. It is the biggest single UK carbon emitter.

This is essential reading given the media/press, with a couple of notable exceptions, is not talking about this catastrophe in the making. Freeports/SEZs, etc have been introduced by stealth because voters would be angry.

Only a few hundred signatures to go. Can you help @europeanpowell.bsky.social reach the 10k signatures needed? bsky.app/profile/euro...
