Govt planning c. 100 new data centres by early 2030s, mostly in already water stressed areas. They have no legal obligation to disclose how much water they use. Meanwhile Govt launches £75m publicity campaign to urge us to reduce water use & privatised water companies waste 19% thro leaks. Madness

1/4 The Government's own National Security Assessment identifies biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse as imminent risks to our security, resilience and prosperity.

Resolution Foundation data on hysterical framing:"Is welfare spending ''out of control''? It's estimated to be 11.1 per cent of GDP this financial year. That's just 1.1 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen by 0.9 per cent of GDP since 2012-13".

I want you to notice how the New York Times does not think it's important to mention that both the OpenAI and Anthropic "AI gone rogue" hack events were completely avoidable and caused by human error

Anthropic Says Its A.I. Systems Broke Into Computers at 3 Organizations (Gift Article)

" UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a government-funded body, said that e-Merlin would "not be prioritised" for further funding after its current agreement ends." Perhaps we should simply defund UKRI and leave Jodrell Bank & the e-Merlin project fully funded to carry on doing amazing science.

Burnham: Social Care is a huge challenge that demands a proper longterm solution. It can be done if parties work together. Most parties: PM is right and we'll work with him for a solution. Tories: PM is right and we'll work with him for a solution. BUT ONLY IF HE CAN DO IT FOR FREE. Grow TF up.
