Revealed: UK’s multibillion AI drive is built on β€˜phantom investments’ Exclusive: Rented datacentres and unrealised supercomputer site raise questions for Starmer’s push to β€˜mainline AI into veins of economy’

There's never been a more obvious house of cards in history than the current "AI" bubble.

Donald has killed a geriatric mass murdering fundamentalist & replaced him with a younger and more extreme version, all while saving the Russian war machine by spiking the oil price.

Nice not to be the only master strategist.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

Suddenly, its turns out that it is not smart to arrogantly shit on an ally that has learned how to down 200 Shaheds every single night and then wipe out and oil refinery or a military airfield with a handful of cheap drones.

That's fine. I'm sure they'll not want anything in return.

"Foreign-born Citizens" are actually just called citizens.

"Foreign-born voters" are just called voters

"non-citizen voters" (yes, this is a thing here in πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§) are just voters.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

When I was growing up, we were taught the importance of being a gracious winner and a good loser. These are two more British values that Farage does not share.

Ah. Another short and crowded train. Great start to the day. Thanks DSB.

Farage should be torn to pieces by the media for this. It's disgusting that someone pretending to be an MP should behave in this way.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have β€˜voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

A lot can happen between now and then, but I suspect that the local elections in May are going to be very entertaining. It will become obvious at that point that Starmer has to go and, Labour being Labour, they will definitely decide to keep him.

Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

01.03.2026 21:56 πŸ‘ 2201 πŸ” 528 πŸ’¬ 227 πŸ“Œ 36

He is pathetic. This is tacit support for the illegal attacks. Disgusting.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the US would continue to be involved in foreign wars, and they were right!

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President.

Of course, it is unlawful.

Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.

Of course, it is stupid.

Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.

And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.
