This one’s all about where silk comes from and what it does next. Including how Jaquard weaving was the precursor to 8-bit programming (and is all about consent) Come with us to Macclesfield 🧵 🪡 🏭

Thought for the day, wondering: a) why on earth the govt’s still pushing for 80%of cars to be all electric, surely on their range you’d bot be able to charge them if power out for 3 days? b) show me a decent data centre/AI proposal which wouldn’t cause a power cut? valid point, any solutions yet?

The MoD handed Palantir a £240m contract with no competition, and it’s still hard to find out what it spends. That fails every test of transparency and accountability. A company winning public contracts this way shouldn’t be running NHS patient data. www.ft.com/content/5c23...

UK defence ministry spent £186mn more on Palantir than value of public contracts

US software group has faced criticism for its links to Donald Trump’s administration and that country’s defence sector

Thames Water's shareholders have walked away. It's being propped up by US hedge funds who REALLY don't care about its 16 million customers. The government needs to intervene, put it into Special Administration, then take it into public ownership.

Water companies can have their licences removed because they are insolvent or because they are failing to fulfil their statutory duties. That's a double whammy for Thames Water. The government should be using their power, removing Thames Water’s licence and taking it into special administration.

Quote from Ewan McGaughey, Professor of Law, King's College London: "The law says ministers can take away Thames Water’s licence for breaching their principal duties, namely to put all sewage through secondary treatment before release, and keep taps and hosepipes running.”
