The world has gone fucking mad, our multi multi billionaires are no longer happy with that, they need to be trillionaires. We are hurtling towards an A.I. future, built on bullshit A.I tech that doesn’t work, trillions being spent on data centres that are ruining cities to host the A.I. that doesn’t work, an A.I. Taking jobs, it can never replace - A.I. Companies that have never made a profit valued in the hundreds of billions and now Elon is looking for an IPO valuation of 1.75 trillion for company that doesn’t have the technology to do what it aims to.……How was your weekly shop today, your petrol prices, your utility bills. We need a wealth tax now and either to stop shares being used as collateral or if thrybdo, pay the fucking tax on it….. #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #TaxTheRich #trump #DonaldTrump #MAGA #uspol #uspolitics #ai #spacex

There needs to be an urgent rethink on digital ID age checks. Unregulated providers sitting on a pot of highly sensitive data. What could go wrong? Breaches have already happened, T&Cs allow them to use it for advertising purposes and behind-the-scenes links to surveillance companies.

Look, how many times do we have to tell you fucking peasants it trickles down, you plebs. Besides we pay a minuscule amount of tax on that money !!! so shut up complaining. ….its not our fault you’ve been subsidising the oil industry for decades and now we’re fucking loaded. Our shareholders are feeling the pinch, have you seen the cost of private jets and super yachts…… thank you for your attention in this matter and for your corrupt politicians who allow this. #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ReformUK #farage #nigelfarage #immigration #farageisalyingsackshit #ReformAreUseless #farageisaracist #farageisatraitor #bp #TaxTheRich #oil #costofliving #Climate

“For too long, the UK has been content to be a digital colony of Silicon Valley. We are ceding both economic value and strategic autonomy because we lack a coherent plan to stand on our own two feet.” 🗣️ Victoria Collins MP on the cross-party warning over the UK's dependence on US tech. They call for the risks to be disclosed and recognised in the National Risk Register.

#UKPolitics #GreenParty #GPEW We had an exchange here recently where i connected with so many fellow #GreenParty people and now I can’t remember anyone’s usernames, just very few! Should have made a list. Will try to build some kind of #GPEW network here @Talia@mstdn.social @greenpartyni@mastodon.ie

RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116459560434179995 The narcissist is lashing out because he is failing on all fronts. It's another show of weakness and inability, 'Old Man Shouts At Cloud' ... #Trump #FalklandIslands #UKPol #UKpolitics #USPolitics #USPol

The UK isn’t a vassal state of America. Yet Trump wants to punish us over a digital services tax. This can be resolved by ditching US Big Tech from our digital infrastructure. We should invest in open source to promote economic growth through greater innovation and a more competitive tech sector. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/24/trump-tariff-uk-digital-services-tax-warning #digitalsovereignty #trump #digitalservices #tech #bigtech #opensource #ukpolitics #ukpol #tarrif

The poor and middle pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers – and the ultra-rich pay politicians. The more money billionaires accumulate, the greater their control of the political system – which means they pay less tax, which means they accumulate more, which means their control intensifies #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ReformUK #farage #nigelfarage #immigration #farageisalyingsackshit #ReformAreUseless #farageisaracist #farageisatraitor #richardtice #TaxTheRich #trump #DonaldTrump #MAGA #uspol #uspolitics #billionaires #taxes

Did Palantir say the quiet bit out loud? Maybe not when clue's in the name that they're the bad guys trying to spy on everyone. But still, erm, bold to set out their sinister megalomania in a 22-point manifesto. They make the case for ditching Big Tech in favour of UK Digital Sovereignty for us tbh. https://cybernews.com/editorial/palantir-manifesto-britain-tech-dependence/ #palantir #DigitalSovereignty #opensource #bigtech #tech #ukpolitics #ukpol

The problem with our dependency on Big Tech is evident in Palantir's NHS contract. Signing up to a 'subscription service' for one company's exclusive software leaves us with nothing when we end the contract. With open source, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/20/palantir_nhs_break_clause/ #BigTech #palantir #nhs #DigitalSovereignty #opensource #UnplugBigTech #ukpolitics #ukpol

Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off. If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in. They own the software, so love it or lose it. We call for UK Digital Sovereignty to turn the tide.
