There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid.
They will use 73GW of electricity.
The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW.
They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined.
And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills.

No.
Renationalise Water, Energy, Housing, Education and Healthcare.
Actually take back control.

It rained....
And as predicted on @LBC with @HenryRiley1 not 48 hours ago.
Anything in brown is sewage being dumping into the environment right now, in real time, anything in red is sewage dumped over the last 24 hours.

Privatised water has ripped us off for far too long.
Sky high bills. Water shortages. Polluted rivers. Sewage in the sea.
No more hesitation, no half measures - we need water in public hands now.
Andy Burnham shelves Thames Water administration plans over costs thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

Andy Burnham was right at the Makerfield by-election when he said there was an "overwhelming case for public ownership" of Thames Water
The public will never forgive a failure to deliver on this
The company is insolvent, slash the debt, LET IT GO BUST

I think the whole UK should follow Wales and legislate to prosecute politicians that lie to the public.
(((Jonathan Maas))) retweeted
This ought to be a joke
There is no "market solution" because there is NO MARKET
We don't want new board members or "local representation" we want PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Let Thames Water go bust, slash the debt, take it back permanently

Can someone please give Burnham a nudge?
He seems to think he has taken over Govt from the opposition.
That was in fact Starmer who had the hard job of steadying the ship after 14 yrs.
Burnhams line about doing things better doesn't work.
Starmer was already doing things better.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood revealed that she wants an AI surveillance system where “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times”. No one voted for this. The government is supposed to serve people, not snoop on people.

Eminem & daughter Hailie just erased $700K in school lunch debt across 103 schools in Michigan! No child hungry, no shame. 🙏
While billionaires buy yachts, Slim Shady quietly paid debts for thousands of kids. This is how you use fame — compassion over clout! Real hero! 💛📚
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no evidence Eminem or his daughter paid off $700,000 in school lunch debt; the claim matches fabricated "Viet spam" celebrity donation hoaxes designed for engagement. leadstories.com/analysis/2025/… yahoo.com/news/articles/…

It’s the middle of the 2026 heatwave, there is officially a drought in London, England remains globally unique in that private companies own their entire water and sewage systems, and the government goes; you know what Brick Lane needs? A data centre
(((Jonathan Maas))) retweeted
You didn’t ask me. I still support Keir Starmer & wanted him to stay. But he was forced out in a coup by Burnham and his cabal. It was completely undemocratic & disgraceful
🔴 Labour members divided over performance of Starmer as Prime Minister 👀

Thames Water’s service has been shoddy, expensive and wasteful. They need to stop moaning and get a grip.
Not a penny of taxpayers' money should be used to bail out their shareholders.

Shocked to discover designating AI data centres as “National Critical Infrastructure” means water companies are prohibited from restricting water to them even in times of drought. Households will lose water first. Hear more on my @RestIsPolitics series👇
