UK inflation rate has fallen. Here's why the BBC will not be reporting on it for very long. 1 BBC is not politically impartial anymore. 2 active Tory party agent shaping BBC news output. 3 BBC board appointed by Boris Johnson. 4 Conservatives headquarters still influencing BBC.🤔

#ukpolitics #labour are going to have an economic reset - yippee we’re going to have a wealth tax, a referendum to rejoin the EU and tax USA tech properly.

@ukerc.bsky.social are you doing any research on the effects of data centres on electricity prices? I assume that they increase demand pushing up prices

Richard Burgon MP A new poll shows 89% of Labour members support a Wealth Tax. Other polls show a massive 78% of the public back a 2% wealth tax on assets worth more than £10 Million. The Government should listen, drop the cuts to disability benefits and bring in a Wealth Tax instead

Let me get this right… They took the trade deficit with country x, and divided it by the value of the country x’s imports to the US? Clownshoe maths.

Celebrating that our “friend” is treating us slightly less shit than they are our other friends is pathetic and frankly the opposite of the strong and independent Britain we were promised after Brexit. Vibes of loser at school who stands behind the bully glad it’s not them in the cross hairs.

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

@carladenyer.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social @sianberry.bsky.social @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social How much will the Labour AI policy and all the data centres proposed in the UK put up electricity bills and increase fossil fuel use?

Well said George

Europe (+uk), need a combined tech strategy. We cannot properly fight the USA while out lives are so entangled in USA tech. Replacing gmail, iPhones, Amazon, Netflix with home grown products is currently impossible. We need EU tech

I think it’s time for a “Robin Hood Party”

Britain is poverty-stricken. Many in full employment rely on food banks. Our waterways are poisoned. We are the sixth largest economy in the world. Where has all the money gone? #PecksniffsDiary reports the Muckrakers' answer. Art by @coldwarsteve.bsky.social with thanks

Massive hail storm with sun too. #Wales

Do it for the workers of Britain! Reinvest the tax receipts into paying off the U.K. debt mountain to reduce the Government’s interest payments and have more money to spend on priorities. Increase the lower tax threshold. Reverse Brexit.

I’m convinced the next general election could be won by the #GreenParty with offering a wealth tax, ensuring big tech like Amazon and X pay proper taxes, a new referendum on EU, eliminating student debts and means-based support for heat pumps and EVs.

I hope the #green MPs are being nice to Labour backbenchers, surely a couple of them are so fed up they’ll cross the floor!

#Torycorruption So this is why she wants to drop net zero policies. Another hypocrite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#wales #ukpolitics good to see this through the door in Swansea

What if we all just retired on minimal income, grew vegetables, paid no taxes and refused to pay water bills. That would show the bastards.

Yes let’s do it! And reverse Brexit too!

Outrageous. It’s the people who’ll pick up the cost.

Reform are a party of Cockwombles.

Amazing how little cardboard I’m putting out for recycling having consciously uncoupled from Amazon!

For the love of God, don’t you dare share this “liberally.”

Torsten Bell What an aggressive little apologist for cutting benefits He has no idea of what any of this is going to mean to disabled people Pathetic performance of a labour government I've said it before The New Tories #LabourTheNewTories #BenefitCuts #DisabilityCuts

Very disappointed in Labours welfare cuts. It feels like it’s 2010 again with Cameron in no.10 & Osborne in no.11 but it’s Starmer & Reeves ffs. More austerity is not what I voted for.

Look at what’s happening now in US, citizens on the streets opposing Government. If a million people turn out for a Wealth tax, reversing Brexit or against PIP cuts they’ll have to listen.

Streeting should resign and hang his head in shame There’s no such thing as a free lunch & the entire NHS seems very cheap at £170k @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Shame on you

#ukpolitics I suspect the calculation is that Labour are not threatened on the left and left-leaning voters will eventually fall in line. I’m far from convinced and Badenoch’s net zero pronouncements don’t help. Green and Lib Dems are waiting.

youtu.be/rAb_p5DCC3E?... #econsky

Exactly total bollocks and will wreck net zero as any spare grid is used for this nonsense

Powerful stuff USA!

Love this

New from me - is it possible we are actually at peak populism? This post is an exercise in working through a scenario - I may very well be wrong. But also, outside of America, I think something is shifting. Because of America. 1/n benansell.substack.com/p/twilight-o...

Interesting night sky tonight #space #wales

F**k all jobs from data centres and any money made won’t be taxed or stay in the U.K.

Legendary thrash metal band Slayer are heading to Cardiff this summer for one of only two headline shows planned in Europe this year

If a US military coup isn’t being planned now, it should strongly be considered.

If over the last three years you’ve expressed more anger on social media that Zelenskyy didn’t wear a suit than the fact Putin is deliberately bombing children, your opinions are utterly meaningless.

How much does it take until the sensible part of #USA decides to disband the Union. Is this even an option?

#wales Lovely weather for a Welsh country bimble today.

Ok!! Canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription!! Yay!!
