Greens need to team up with Burgon and other left wing MPs. Drag them out of the Labour party and give a home to independents. Please!

This should be extended to huge AI server facilities - using extraordinary amounts of power, generating loads of heat and using loads of water for cooling. No one wants so much generative AI.

Only if it can be done in such a way that the costs can’t be passed down to us - they’ll always find ways to gouge us for a bit more while protecting their own wealth.

Here’s an idea to save public money. Close the HoCs & HoLs restaurants, auction the wine cellars. Replace with an NHS canteen, run by G4S.

Nah, this is a distraction. It’s the vast majority of us normies putting the heating on and driving to work/shops that’s doing the vast majority of the damage. Do tax the rich please, but we need alternatives to fossil fuels for all the population.
