Ofwat appoints Grant Thornton to help improve South East Water performance l £6m wasted. Similar exercise at Thames Water yielded zilch. SEW has £1.7bn debt, can't raise new money, loses 100m litres of water a day to leaks, customers fleeced for decades. End the scam. Nationalise water.

Cool. Cool. Now where do we get uranium from again? Oh yeah, Kazakhstan, which shares a huge land border with Russia and China. But it's totally ok, neither Russia or China have expansionist ambitions.

Of course this is the reason I suspect Wes Streeting wanted to take contracting off NHS England and bring it into the Department of Health, so ministers could make decision to appease tech bro donors rather than clinicians, who have to use the software asking awkward questions.

Why do we capitulate to Thatcher's trite "every housewife with a weekly budget" nonsense to this day. Look at the debt literally being created out of nothing to fund the mad AI buildout. What kind of prudent housewifery is The Market applying there? Yet Government must have Fiscal Rules?

Fiscal headroom is not a pot of money sitting at the Bank of England. It is simply the estimated margin by which the government is forecast to meet the fiscal rules it has chosen to impose upon itself.

It's funny, but honestly I think it is really powerful to see minds at work, doing philosophical enquiry at a time when so much was unknown and so much must have seemed capricious. Think about how threatening and chaotic floods, crop blights or unexpected cold winters must have been.

My place of work has just imposed budgets on AI token spend so that's any token-intensive AI workflows fucked. I have been vocal about the inevitability of per-token charging for multiple years, so I am not sure whether to be sad, gleeful or disgusted about this happening.

"Carbon footprint" is the biggest con ever run by corporate lobbies. I suppose there is an argument that the recycling message might have raised public consciousness a bit, but for what benefit? One data centre build fucks years of "carbon savings" from personal "carbon footprint" lowering.

Happier post: rainbow over New Asgard, from the weekend.

Photograph of a harbour at low tide. The harbour walls merge into rocks below, which are only exposed at low tide. Several small boats are resting on the muddy sea bottom. In the distance some cliffs rise from the sea and, over them, sitting low in the sky, a rainbow has appeared.

I just cannot parse the massive difference in the response to pro-Palestine protests and these masked far right mobs. I mean, I know the answer to this question, but: how the fuck is the former "terrorism" and the latter "legitimate concerns"? Maybe a passing centrist could attempt to answer that?

What the fuck do they mean 'spontaneous protest'? 1000 people spontaneously taking a walk around Dover with Balaclavas? Look at the social media of every Far-Right organiser in the UK... This was so clearly planned. This tells every Far-Right thug in the country that they have utter impunity.

The referendum is built into the GFA: if a "majority of those [who would be] voting appears to favour unity." You can't just "take it off the table" without fucking up the GFA. Incredibly irresponsible from Burnham. So much for the great northern mayor who understands nations and regions.
