Martin Edobor @martinedobor.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Data centres consume electricity and water, which should be going to communities, not big tech. We should be holding the UK gov accountable for the proliferation of data centres across the country. We need to put communities first. Let's say no to data centres. 010

Martin Edobor @martinedobor.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Carney's address to Davos is powerful in its honesty. Invoking Havel, he exposes the "rules-based order" as a performance that has reached its end.
