Er … hidden away in today’s Budget is a new Data Centre Covenant.
taxpayers will fund over £700 MILLION in AI initiatives and the government is introducing special treatment for strategically important AI data centres.
They will receive PRIORITY access to electricity capacity, faster connections and faster planning decisions.
A new Quango … the Ministerial Control Centre will push these projects through.
So with energy in short supply and prices linked to supply … ordinary citizens er … are not priority!
Better stock up on brand and loo roll. Just like they told you.

The UK’s Two-Tier Justice System on Full Display 🧵👇
An Osman warning (officially known in the UK as a Threat to Life (TTL) notice) is an official notification issued by the police when intelligence indicates a real and immediate risk to an individual's life, but there is not yet enough evidence to make an arrest.
The warnings originated from a 1998 European Court of Human Rights ruling (following the 1988 murder of Ali Osman).
In Tommy Robinson’s ‘harassment’ trial at Southwark Crown Court, agreed facts presented to the jury stated that he had received four Osman warnings from the police between 2018 and 2024.
Tommy and his legal defense have previously claimed in court and public statements that he and his family have faced threats of sufficient seriousness to warrant around 12 Osman warnings over the years.
The Daily Mail sent a reporter and a photographer to track down Tommy while he was abroad.
They subsequently published a front-page exposé containing:
* His physical location: The paper revealed he was staying at a resort hotel near Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
* Photographs: The feature included photographs of Robinson on vacation, notably one of him reclining on a sunbed using his mobile telephone.
* Family context: The coverage made it clear he was vacationing abroad with his children.
While the Daily Mail maintained in court that it did not publish identifiable images of his children, Robinson argued passionately in the witness box that the articles effectively unmasked his private location, exposed his ex-wife and children, and triggered severe online security threats against his family.
The central premise of the Daily Mail’s August 2024 coverage was directly tying his social media activity to the civil unrest in the UK, explicitly using the front-page headline: "Stoking race riots from his sunbed".
They linked him to the Southport riots by reporting on his digital activity, focusing on the high volume of anti-immigration social media posts, commentary, and videos he was broadcasting to millions of followers on X while the UK riots were unfolding on the ground.
Tommy’s legal team argued that he did not issue direct commands or instructions to riot.
Instead, they highlighted instances where he explicitly urged his followers to remain peaceful or called for calm amidst the breaking civil unrest.
Because he was physically out of the country in Cyprus, his supporters argue he could not have been orchestrating or physically leading the events unfolding on British streets.
This is what made the Daily Mail's headline “Stoking race riots from his sunbed" so contentious.
Tommy maintained the characterisation was an unfair, establishment-driven attack that put his family in danger, while the publication stood by its reporting on his ‘digital influence’
So, the Daily Mail effectively doxxed the location of a man and his family while they were on holiday, despite them having received up to 12 immediate risk warnings to their lives.
Yet, it is Tommy who now faces a 10-year prison sentence, while the Daily Mail receives zero repercussions.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 😣

They hoped you wouldn't read page 111.
£150 million of your money to "fund ADDITIONAL large sites to accommodate asylum seekers".
Closing hotels just means bigger sites, not fewer arrivals or fewer asylum claims.
We're full and we're broke.
Enough.

Wanted to share this from a very talented writer called Mick Flaherty so funny.
THANK YOU, CHANCELLOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🇬🇧❤️
I’ve been reading today’s Budget and I’m considering cancelling my direct debits. Financial independence is finally within reach.
🥒 Cheaper gherkins, baked beans and chocolate. Potential savings of £21 a year - that’s 40p a week. I’ve already rewritten my will. My son gets the house, but the gherkin fortune is going into a trust fund. I’m not having the little bastard blow my life’s savings on cocaine and scratchcards.
🍬 Import tariffs scrapped on boiled sweets and toffees. Thank Christ. I’ve seen pensioners outside Aldi exchanging sexual favours for a bag of Werther’s Originals.
🍊 Cheaper marmalade. Excellent, ‘cos I’ve been spreading Vaseline on my toast since March. Paddington Bear’s probably knocking one out behind King’s Cross.
🧄 Cheaper garlic. Fantastic!! I’ve been buying it one clove at a time from a bloke behind Aldi. Last week he offered me three bulbs and a handjob for £20.
💷 Income Tax thresholds frozen until 2031. Absolutely beautiful. Earn a bit more, get dragged into paying more tax, then watch the Chancellor congratulate himself for helping working people. It’s the financial equivalent of being mugged, having your trousers stolen and being handed a 40p voucher for gherkins as compensation.
🍫 Cheaper chocolate-covered wafers. I’ve already ordered a reinforced safe, appointed three trustees and instructed my accountant to establish an offshore wafer portfolio in the Cayman Islands. Apparently, HMRC wants to know why I’ve declared a KitKat as a dependent.
🚌 Bus fares capped at £2. If my business ever collapses, I can now afford to travel to the Jobcentre and explain that I went bankrupt despite unprecedented savings on fucking marmalade.
💡 Gas standing charges being scrapped. Lovely news, until you find out the cost is being transferred to the price of the gas itself. That’s the financial equivalent of a burglar returning your television and charging you £45 to watch it.
Anyhoo… the government calls some of these its FIVE EVERYDAY FIXES.
I’ve calculated that if I save 40p every week, I could afford a second-hand Ford Fiesta in approximately 400 years…. Assuming nobody’s eaten the fucking gherkins.
Thank you, Chancellor. You’ve saved the country. I’ll name my first jar of marmalade after you. 🇬🇧

Wes Streeting — our let's-get-you-to accept war minister — is against sovereignty. He's pro EU.
After Uni, he's worked in the charity sector.
He is against Sovereignty he is pro EU.
A career politician. Never lifted anything heavier than a kettle and now he's talking war.
War goes hand in hand with death, but it's a death he will never face. He'll be suited and booted, served tea in a china cup, he'll wear a crisp suit, and he'll be smell of cologne, whilst mothers potentially open letters about their sons who died on some unpronounceable battlefield in a land they have no allegiance to and will never see.
As the body count rises because our inept political class have neither the skill nor the decency to talk about peace, more taxes will disappear and the industrial military complex will see rising profits, as Wes stays immaculately groomed telling the nation how proud he is from some warm TV studio, being interviewed by some anchor with zero skin in the game except their salary and bonuses.
Gone are the days of John Wayne propaganda movies glamourising fake heroes.
Are we really picking a fight with a superpower with a defunct navy a depleted army and an air force so diminished it looks like it's been shrink wrapped, whilst simultaneously giving our best defence, the US, the cold shoulder?
Does this party in government who have denounced our sovereignty expect you to risk death for it?
Prosecuting veterans who were following orders whilst expecting them to be ready to be called up again. Many suspect they'd even go to these lengths to stop a general election.
How do mortgages get paid whilst the breadwinners are away fighting for someone else's country? Are we sitting ducks in the face of one of two things? Enormous incompetence or deliberate destruction, financially and structurally?
It's my belief these morally bankrupt individuals who sit out of harm's way are devoid of the intelligence to bring about peace.
They're right to a degree about the threat of invasion. It happens most days on our beaches and in our ports
Our only defence is the weather.
Soaring taxes fuel and energy prices, but money for war.
I think we have the technology, we have the structure for a better life than this. We just don't have the political will to implement it .

A £10bn injection to cut fuel duty in the budget could have reduced petrol and diesel prices by 21p a litre for 12 months, reduced inflation and stimulated economic growth in the UK.
But the Government sent it to Zelensky instead, who is reported to be ‘delighted’ to receive our money.

Someone more intelligent than me please explain how the UK can be 3 trillion in debt, completely on our arse but still find 10 billion to fund a war that has fuck all to do with us ?

Look at this, stashed away on page 118 of the budget...
The Government is implementing visa salary requirement changes from spring 2027 that will reduce 'occupation-specific minimum salary thresholds from the median to the 25th percentile of wages'.
In short, making it FAR easier for firms to hire migrants.
Why are they lowering barriers to overseas workers instead of training British men and women?
British people do not want more immigration.
At all.

Adding medicinal products to food is STRICTLY ILLEGAL 👇
Adding prescription/pharmacy medicine to food constitutes Food Fraud👇
Its a severe criminal offence 👇
NHS KNOWS Folic Acid is a MEDICINE.
Who put it under pressure to change it to a VITAMIN?👇
How about it @BadLawTeam @SBarrettBar @ukmfa1 @FreeWCH ??
Mass medication legal challenge.
Even more so as gov/nhs CHANGED folic acid from a MEDICINE to a VITAMIN 👇
as they KNOW mass medication is ILLEGAL under Food Safety Act 1990👇, so they reclassified folic acid.

Labour’s VAWG plan going well then! 🙄
A 14-year-old boy repeatedly stabbed a girl who rejected his advances, using a SIX-INCH kitchen knife.
He stabbed her at least TEN TIMES. A shopkeeper who tried to intervene was also stabbed.
The attack was premeditated. The judge acknowledged how terrifying and dangerous it had been.
And the sentence? A 12-month referral order and a three-year restraining order. No further custody.
Judge Ian Lawrie KC reportedly told him:
“You’re a bright lad” and “keep out of mischief.”
Mischief?! As though he'd been caught nicking a few apples off somebody's tree, rather than chasing a terrified girl through a shop and repeatedly stabbing her because she dared to say NO!
The judge also said custody was the last place he should be... What about the girl? Her trauma? Her safety? Her right to reject a boy without fearing for her life?
Of course young offenders need rehabilitation. But surely that cannot come at the expense of meaningful accountability for such extreme violence. Labour promises to halve violence against women and girls within a decade.
How can we expect girls to believe that violence against them is taken seriously when this is how an attempted rejection-fuelled attempted killing is dealt with?
Her mother called the sentence “disgraceful.” I can certainly understand why. A girl's life is worth more than a boy's promising future.

A great rant from a friend:
“I don't know who's running the British newspapers at the moment, but I reckon somebody's accidentally given the editorial jobs to a bunch of fucking doomsday preppers.
Have you seen the absolute state of the news lately?
World War Three. Nuclear Armageddon. Russian cyberattacks. Chinese hackers. Emergency survival kits. How to prepare for the end of civilisation.
Every bloody newspaper seems to be running the same story.
You'd think Vladimir Putin had been spotted at Dover services with a tank and a packed lunch.
And apparently, the most important thing we can do to prepare for all this is go shopping.
Seriously.
We're being advised to stockpile food, water, torches, batteries and enough toilet roll to survive the collapse of Western civilisation.
Do they genuinely believe we're all going to read these articles, leap off the sofa and charge down to Asda like there's a fucking trolley dash on?
I reckon somebody's looked at the Christmas retail figures and thought, "How can we get these bastards to spend another two hundred quid?"
"Tell them the Russians are coming."
"Brilliant. We'll shift those seventeen pallets of corned beef we've had sitting in the warehouse since Easter."
And what exactly am I supposed to do with all these emergency supplies if there's a nuclear attack?
Imagine it.
You're sitting in your living room, minding your own business, when suddenly there's an enormous flash outside.
The windows explode. The roof comes off. There's a nuclear shockwave tearing through the city, flattening everything in its path.
And there you are, crawling across the kitchen floor, desperately trying to get the fucking tin opener out of the drawer.
"QUICK! SOMEBODY GET THE BEANS!"
What fucking difference are beans going to make?
You're about to be vaporised at several thousand degrees. I don't think the nutritional benefits of baked beans are going to be particularly relevant.
But the politicians are the funniest part of all this.
Angela Rayner was asked what she'd be stockpiling.
Sauvignon Blanc and mascara.
Sauvignon Blanc and fucking mascara!
I love that.
The world's coming to an end, millions could die, civilisation might collapse, but Angela's making sure she's got a decent bottle of white and her eyelashes done.
Then Andy Burnham comes along telling people not to stockpile alcohol because they need to keep a clear head.
Well, thank Christ we've got that sorted.
One politician's preparing for the apocalypse like she's going to an all-inclusive resort in Tenerife, and another's telling everybody to drink responsibly.
And apparently Andy's emergency supplies include Twiglets.
Fucking Twiglets.
I mean, at what point did the national security discussion turn into everybody comparing what they've brought to a children's birthday party?
We're supposedly facing the possibility of World War Three, and our political leaders are having a conversation that wouldn't sound out of place in the middle aisle of Aldi.
And then there's the cyberattack warnings.
Apparently, Russia or China could launch a massive cyberattack and bring down our communications, electricity supplies and essential services.
Right.
And what am I supposed to do about that?
Unplug the kettle?
Put the laptop in a biscuit tin?
I can just imagine some highly trained Russian cyberwarfare specialist sitting in Moscow, surrounded by millions of pounds' worth of sophisticated computer equipment.
"Comrade, we have penetrated the British national infrastructure."
"Excellent. Shut down their electricity."
"We cannot, sir."
"Why not?"
"Some bastard in Ellesmere Port has wrapped his Virgin Media router in fucking Bacofoil."
It's a good job Churchill isn't around to witness this.
"We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall never surrender."
"Unless we've run out of Pot Noodles, in which case we're absolutely fucked."
What a fucking pantomime.”

A Budget that amounts to pissing into a westerly gale - tinkering around the edges while the British economy burns, with a treasury packed full of economic arsonists.
It is an insult to every taxpayer, every struggling business and every family being bled dry by this rotten economic system. Nothing will change - we continue our uninterrupted plunge into the abyss.
The country is drowning in debt. I don’t know how else to say this…
We are BANKRUPT. We cannot afford any of this. Nothing.
A crushing tax burden remains, small businesses are strangled and as employers we’re punished for creating jobs. For what? To fund millions of scroungers who can’t be arsed to work like the rest of us? Foreigners who turn up and expect housing, benefits, healthcare? When our tax goes up, THAT is what we are funding.
Debt is now THREE TRILLION. We can thank lockdown for a large part of that. But please think about it. Three trillion. The scale is just unimaginable. Yet we get another Chancellor fiddling with the numbers while the country goes up in flames. Billions and billions and billions get added every month. It is GROWING. I don’t know how else to say this.
The people governing us seem absolutely incapable of understanding one basic principle.
Wealth is created by businesses and workers. NOT by politicians spending somebody else's money to win votes. NOT by the state. NOT by the public sector. I detest it.
The British people, working mums and dads, are expected to work longer and harder to fund this corrupt charade - all while giant multinationals shift vast profits out of our country on the back of their work and bloated corporates extract outrageous contract profits from the taxpayer thanks to criminal public sector mismanagement.
I challenge Healey or Burnham. Go and start a business. A cafe, a contractor, a small shop. Try being a sole contractor on the tools. Experience these taxes, the regulation, the stress. Have their families rely on sporadic invoices. Watch their earnings get siphoned off by a corrupt state. Let’s see how they get on.
The system does not need reforming, or conserving - it needs smashing up. We need to rip apart, limb from limb, the failed assumptions that have governed British economic policy for decades.
Cut the waste. Shrink the state. Slash the tax burden. Back small British businesses. Reward work. Restore the incentive to invest, build, employ and succeed. Get millions of healthy Brits OFF benefits. Give people a reason to work. BE UNPOPULAR. If healthy scroungers hate me for taking their benefits off them, good. Get used to it.
It’s all that, on a scale never seen before, or the country will collapse further into a third world hellhole - only this time we’ll get the hyperinflation and total economic catastrophe in addition to the migrants.
I refuse to leave a broken, bankrupt nation to my children and grandchildren.
Restore Britain is offering a route out.
It will be painful, more than anyone realises.
But it is the only way.
