I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism.
Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch.
So on brand.
Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you.

(iPaper)
Picture of a Farage Football shirt with the dodgy ‘made in Britain’ logo Headline: Reform UK merchandise does not have permission for its 'Made in Britain' logo Extracts; Reform UK has been using a "Made in Britain" logo on a range of promotional football shirts without permission from either ofthe two UK "Made in Britain" trademark schemes, Thei Paper has found. The shirts sold by Nigel Farage's party range in price from £39 to £359, with funds going to Reform UK. Three styles have been released as merchandise, including a recently launched black and gold shirt signed by Farage himself. They are prominently stamped with the official-looking logo… It is strikingly similar to the logos connected to MadeinBritain.co and the registered trademark that belongs to MadeinBrtain.org, which were both set up with the aim of protecting British manufacturing. Both organisations require companies to pass an audit in order to be accredited and gain permission to use their logo. Use of the trademark from MadeinBritain.org, a not-for-profit organisation, is stricter and a licence fee of at least S195 must be paid annually. Misleading a customer to believe an item has a level of accreditation is potentially a criminal offence. A spokesperson for Reform UK said: "The logo displayed was materially different and simply denotes that this product is made in the UK” The main supplier for Reform's shirts does manufacture them in the UK, The i Paper understands. One of Reform's "Original Edi- tion" tops purchased by The i Paper featured an address for a Leicester-based manufacturer. Upon visiting the site, the address was not a factory but a small office where one person works. A spokesperson for Reform said: "Each and every Reform FC shirt is made in the UK.”

The data centre boom is a black hole gravity well sucking resources away from the monetary, physical and human infrastructure of decarbonisation. If you care about 'more tech' this won't bother you. I care about climate outcomes, and this is really bad.

Amid Ford’s shift away from making large electric vehicles, the automaker is adding a new product line to find a home for its batteries. Ford said Monday that instead of scuttling plans to build the batteries for those vehicles, it will pivot that capacity into a new battery storage business. Those storage systems, which will use cheaper lithium iron phosphate batteries, will be used to power data centers and help buffer demand on the electric grid. Ford says the battery storage systems will start shipping in 2027 and that the company plans to build 20GWh of annual capacity. Ford will invest about $2 billion into the new business over the next two years. Under the plan, Ford will repurpose the existing manufacturing capacity at its Kentucky factory. Ford plans to produce LFP batteries using technology licensed from China’s CATL, as well as battery energy storage system modules and 20-foot DC container systems at this facility. Ford will join a number of automakers that are operating in or planning to enter the battery storage space. Tesla has spent the last decade selling battery storage products and deploys around 10GWh every quarter. General Motors also has a set of home and commercial battery storage products.
