Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.

It’s remarkable how many people can move on a street when those people don’t feel the need to always take a massive car with them. Mobility in cities is about space.
Busy European street with buses filled with people in a long line of people on bikes, waiting for the light to change in a separated, protected bike lane. Imagine if all those people or each in a separate car.

New Google Maps images reveal massive scale of devastation in Gaza
Satellite imagery shows further destruction of homes, businesses and places of worship since fragile ceasefire An update to Google Maps has revealed the extent of devastation during the three-year Gaza war and the severity of the continuing humanitarian crisis faced by the territory’s 2.3 million inhabitants. The images were taken in June this year and show further destruction of homes, businesses, places of worship and infrastructure since a fragile ceasefire came into effect almost 12 months ago.

In 2024-25 HMRC failed to collect £59.2bn of tax; £500bn since 2010. £12.8bn lost through profit shifting by multinational corporations. Promoters of a business rates avoidance scheme boasted that they have deprived local councils of £500m. Billions can be raised by ending abuses.

The Clacton by election is proper, old fashioned and very British farce. It's like a classic Ealing Comedy. And it's made all the funnier by the humourless po faced response from the Reform lot who are utterly devoid of a sense of humour. Look at this from one man joy zapper Lee Anderson.
So the political establishment and
media have consistently labelled
Nigel as being a divisive out of touch
figure. They play every card possible to
assassinate his character and that of
everyone involved with Reform UK. You
can feel the hatred with the House of
Commons towards not just Nigel but all
Reform UK MPs. That does not bother
us one bit as we know millions of
people in the real world support us and
what we stand for. The establishment
are bullies that attack and attack
but when the tables are turned they
run away. Nigel has thrown down the
gauntlet and told the other parties that
he will meet them at the ballot box and
every one of them has bottled it. We
see you for the cowards you are. We
are coming for all of you at every single
ballot box in the country. Reform UK
are the last hope to save our country
from you treacherous cowards
