Interesting Petition.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700391
Raise the standard tax-free Personal Allowance to £45,000

The Tax-Free personal allowance should be at the very least the Living Wage. So that's £24,570 to £27,007
https://www.livingwage.org.uk/node/29657

There should be a triple lock on this.

The petition doesn't say how to fund the tax short fall. The obvious is an extra 1% on higher income tax rates.

Is there a "natural successor to Jerry Cornelius"? I'm sure I've seen that phrase recently. But I can't remember where or who they were talking about. Redmayne's Jackal maybe?

New datacentres being built or planned. A10-M25, M11-M25, M40-M25. Close to Harwell, Didcot Atomic energy research area, water from the Thames, electricity interchange from the old dismantled Didcot coal power station.

And many others. Why is everything mentioned, London centric?

UK to invest public money in building vast datacentres to run AI.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/12/mainlined-into-uks-veins-labour-announces-huge-public-rollout-of-ai

Where's the electricity going to come from? SMR Nuclear Reactors and Renewables. Really? There are no commercial finished working SMRs and they could easily be 20 years out. Significant problems with security, waste, fuel, proliferation. National Grid investment to get renewable electricity across the country? Water for cooling?

All you can say is, "Oh dear".

Struggling with the UKHSA Covid figures. Cases, admissions, patients, deaths essentially flat at roughly April 24 figures. Testing peaking at same rate as Jan 24. Positivity right down. So we're testing for Covid in lots of severe flu cases arriving in hospital and not finding it? But the Covid we are finding is generating the same background rate of admissions and deaths we've had for 5 years in the lulls between waves?
