Exactly. You may not be interested in politics, but politics is certainly interested in you.

the way bbc news’ impartiality seems to work is that they’re softer on the right to avoid accusations of left-wing bias, and they’re harder on the left to avoid accusations of left-wing bias

Exactly this!
Or, hear me out, how about we tell them they have to build their own power and it can't be more than a few percent fossil fuels or from existing grid? Build shitloads of solar, onshore turbines, and some massive batteries, or you don't get a data centre. Feed it back into the grid when possible.

I probably don't have many local contacts on here, but anyway... this is the concert I'm giving in aid of the Milton Keynes Cancer Centre on 4th October at Stantonbury Theatre with the fabulous Charlie Lovell-Jones. The Filgrastim Philharmonia is named after a chemo drug. Details in the alt text.

The Labour response to Farage policy of leaving the Refugee & Humam Rights Convention should not be “he won’t deliver”.
It should be “this is not morally right” (not “British values” even).
Voters want to see authentic consistent leadership. Not debate the workability of cruelty.
