QM DATA CENTRE WATCH: WATER UK represents water companies in Britain and NI. In a publically available written brief to MPs they explained that the government’s forecasts were “fatally flawed” and “explicitly excluded” DATA CENTRES. ⬇️

Aaaand... Those Reform UK wheels just will not stop falling off.
"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest." Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.
And speaking of damp squibs created by evil narcissists, motivated only by racism and greed.. The response to Reform UK's desperate "out-Lowe-ing Lowe distraction from dodgy finances" announcement on Monday was everything you'd expect. Naval officer John Foreman's tweet is next-level delicious. 😁👏⬇️
I'm not sure why, but she always gives me the Sarah Palin vibes. Maybe it's their shared misunderstanding about geography

So what about Reform UK Party Limited donor Zia "Shadow(y) Home Secretary New Darling of Unelected BBC QT Guests" Yusuf? What have we got on him? Anyone got a starter for ten? We're ALL ears... And eyes. 🔎👁
Morning everyone. Richard Tice is in dire trouble. And not just over dodgy donations from Posh George, via his "mother"... We're seeing widespread headlines about Tice being investigated by the Standards Committee. But where are the details? ⬇️
It just gets murkier The accountancy firm that administers Reform donor, George Cottrell’s Montenegro company, has invested in a property development with the alleged ringleader of the country’s largest money laundering cartel
Josiah Mortimer@josiahmortimer.bsky.social · 3d ago"[Byline] revealed that Cottrell entered corporate finance under a false Swiss identity, hired by the same City network that produced Reform UK’s own treasurer, Mehrtash A’zami. "Byline Times has since confirmed that this identity was stolen from a real person – Cottrell’s old school friend."
QM DATA CENTRE WATCH: Charlotte City Council in North Carolina voted on June 8th to establish a moratorium on data centres. In the public meeting in May one woman succinctly sums up the problems with data centres. Several times she says “rest is a human right”.
Something standards watchdog something not declaring an interest something Westminster debate something something Israel. (Strangely no mention of "George's mum's" money, or that some of it turned up in his personal account by mistake, and then sacking the treasurer after he raised concerns.)

QM DATA CENTRE WATCH: The Labour Goverment has jumped on this data centre bandwagon because they believe it will drive growth. Pardon us for having doubts. We are more concerned about the water deficit (they use litres and litres of water and water supplies are already compromised -
Well done Trish, we we're wondering how we might suggest @lewisgoodall.com interviews people whose lives have been impacted by long Covid. We like your idea though.
Trish Greenhalgh@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social · 4d agoHey @lewisgoodall.com here is our Lancet article on Long COVID. Happy to chat. www.thelancet.com/action/showP...
Nigel Farage called a by-election against a bin to run away from unanswered questions, but the net is closing in. Grubby pacts, cover-ups, secret gifts, support from a convicted fraudster – it all adds up to a stench of sleaze. The public can smell it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
‘Stench of sleaze’: Farage struck deal over political return months before 2024 election, reports say
Labour chair accuses Reform of making ‘grubby pacts’ after contradictory reports emerge on timeline of events

The only thing more pathetic and satisfying than watching grifters, racists and fascists destroy themselves, is watching said grifters, racists and fascists being press-ganged into clubbing together so that they can destroy each other. Thanks to @reformarenotyourfriends.

It just keeps on coming… Farage struck deal to return as leader long before Sunak called surprise 2024 vote, so his claim that he wasn’t involved in politics when he got his £5million “gift” is, of course, another grubby lie. The man is garbage. Grifting, lying, cheating garbage. (Sunday Times)
An absolutely brilliant Substack from @politicalsatirical.bsky.social - one of his best ever insights, IOHO. His "Russian Roulette" analogy for Farage's tricky Clacton conundrums is bang on the money. A kind of Deer Hunter-meets-Catch-22, if you like. 👁 ⬇️

QM DATA CENTRE WATCH: Ms Ocasio Cortez is a US Representative she is indicating the life changing effects of living near a data centre. The government in the U.K. thinks they will drive up growth in the U.K. and improve the lives of Britains. What do you think?
Morning everyone. Farage lied about when he decided to return as Reform leader. He began hatching his plan, with Tice and Cottrell, to return to the front line of politics in March 2024. ⬇️. 1/3
Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform leader months before the election, and showed it to the treasurer in May 2024.So the man who claimed he “wasn’t involved in politics” and therefore didn’t need to declare gifts was already cutting leadership deals behind the scenes.😆
QM DATA CENTRE WATCH: In 2024 the government classified data centres as Critical National Infrastructure. ⬇️
Nigel: you don't get to play the victim of hate speech and made-up threats when you've been beating Britain around the head with a big Russian stick for decades, like it's a piñata in the shape of a cash cow.
QM DATA CENTRE WATCH: We expected better from Angela Rayner. This historic building could be repurposed maintaining the history and look of this corner of the East End. Data Centres pollute and are being imposed on the public even when the public push back. Are the City are pushing for this one?
