I can’t work out if the media of the parl lab party are tone deaf but the idea that replacing Starmer with Streeting or Mahmoud are comical at best - not the change needed lol. We really are entering a potential revolutionary period as a court becomes ever more distant from the people.

This is completely fascinating, and I do think the UK govt are likely to come a cropper on this in a similar way soon. Someone said to me the other day that more than 600 data centres are going through planning at the moment
Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?
For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

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.

But what's worse-he didn't even TRY to lower prices

To those asking about a US China "deal" - we don't know anything yet, but since neither want dramatic escalation, they will probably find a way to avoid that.
