Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

Before claiming that stopping data centres would be a disaster for the economy, shouldn't Labour be able to make a case for what the actual benefits of these things are? They seem to have nothing say about them except that they have to happen. Why? For whose benefit?

Britain is more than halfway towards reaching Net Zero. Most people don't realise this, not least as the fossil-fuel fanatics want us to think achieving it is impossible. Via YouGov


**UK public support net zero, but underestimate UK achievement to date**

"Thinking about the government's target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, how much progress, if any, do you think the UK has made towards achieving this target?"

**Long way / less than halfway** — 50%

**Don't know** — 28%

**Most of the way / More than halfway** — 8%

Misinformation is everywhere. Listening to Hannah Spencer you realise how cynical & targeted it is. Confirmation bias of all who oppose her leads to most believing fake news without even an attempt of double-checking the 'info' they read. All it takes is a screenshot of her shirt & a reverse search.
