I have written to Cllr Sagal Abdi-Wali, Labour’s by-election candidate and Leader of Camden Council - the local housing authority - asking her to confirm what actions she took since the 5th-floor balustrade at Josh Robbins’ home gave way in January and Josh plunged to his death? I was shocked to meet residents yesterday at Constable House who have received no response to their plea to have their balustrade made safe.
The People of Holborn & St Pancras want the Cost of Living CUT. NOT Andy Burnham's £40billion ideological crusade before a single leaky pipe is fixed.
Labour must stop putting ideology before bills in Holborn & St Pancras. Approve Jackdaw: at peak, about 6% of North Sea gas - enough to heat 1.4 million homes, including every home here. Extra British gas will knock-out expensive LNG imports. Ideology doesn’t heat homes. Jackdaw plus faster electrification will cut the cost of living in Holborn & St Pancras. watt-logic.com/wp-content/up…
This week I’m meeting UCL and SOAS students.
Andy Burnham has announced You'll Pay the social-care bill. Higher taxes. “Everyone contributes.”
Students face rising rents, bigger loans and a brutal cost of living. Young people shouldn’t be the cash machine for a GOVT that won’t cut spending.
What do you think?

Today the Prime Minister wasn’t clear with the House over Iran. So I tried to pin him down.
We’ve been attacked by a foreign state. Our leaders need backbone.

Labour minister accidentally admits that higher interest on student loans is being used to pay for more benefits.
That’s outrageous. Labour are not on the side of young people.

During Labour’s first 15 months in office 175,000 homes were completed in England — well short of the 300,000 homes a year needed to meet the government’s target of 1.5m new homes in this Parliament (which Labour ministers still claim, incredibly, they’re on target to meet).
It’s a 14% decline from the previous five quarters and is worsening. Completions in the three months through September dropped to 31,000, the weakest quarter since the depths of the pandemic. Based on Q1-3 2025, England is set for its worst year for housebuilding since 2014 at just over 130,000.
But Labour has been in power for only 20 months, I hear you say, what about housing starts? Fair enough.
They’re stuck on around 30,000 a quarter, nowhere near enough to meet the 300,000 a year target.
But let’s take net additional dwellings — a broader definition including not just new completions but conversions, refurbishment of old properties fallen into disuse etc — minus demolitions.
Between July 2024 and January 2026 net dwellings rose by circa 300,000 — again a run rate which is far too low to hit 1.5m by 2029.
However you cut it that Labour 1.5m housing target is toast.

Elon Musk: A lot of the negativity stems from the axiomatic flaw that the economic pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game.
“At my first company I didn't have any money, I just had $100,000 in student debt. That was a company in the very early days, of the Internet, called Zip2. But for all companies subsequently, I basically doubled down. I took the money from Zip2, invested it in X.com-PayPal, and then took the PayPal money, invested that in creating Tesla and SpaceX. It didn't feel right that I should ask investors to invest if I was not prepared to invest my own money. I think the whole other people's money thing is not right. You want to have skin in the game. As a result of that, I own a lot of shares in the company. And the better the company does, the more valuable the shares are. But that's because the pie has grown. And so you have to say what's at the root of a lot of the negativity is an axiomatic flaw. That the pie is static, that it's a zero-sum game, that if someone else succeeds, it's because they took more than their fair share of this fixed pie. But it's not a fixed pie. Obviously, the economic pie has grown considerably from what it was in the past. The output of goods and services, the productivity per person is dramatically greater than it has been in the past. So when you create a new company and you create new products and services, you're growing the amount of goods and services available to people. So you've not taken anything away from anyone. You've created something new and you've given people new products and services they didn't have before. We didn't use to have an iPhone, we didn't use to have computers. We didn't use to have cars or be able to fly in airplanes. We didn't use to have many of the life-saving medicines that we have today. These are all new things. The pie has grown tremendously.”

Elon Musk just confirmed the most INSANE IPO in history.
SpaceX is going public in 2026.
$1.5 TRILLION valuation. Raising $30+ billion.
That's the biggest IPO ever made. Beating Saudi Aramco's $29 billion record from 2019.
But here's what everyone's missing:
This isn't about space tourism or Mars missions.
Elon is literally about to win the entire AI race.
And 99% of people have no idea how...
Here's the problem killing every AI company right now:
POWER.
Oracle just reported earnings.
They burned through $12 BILLION in one quarter building data centers.
Their free cash flow? NEGATIVE $10 billion.
Revenue missed estimates. Stock crashed 11%.
Microsoft, Amazon, Google all scrambling to find enough electricity for AI training.
The brutal math:
The US generates 490 gigawatts of total power.
AI is projected to need 123 gigawatts by 2035.
That's a QUARTER of the entire electrical grid. Just for artificial intelligence.
Goldman Sachs says AI energy demand could jump 165% by 2030.
There is literally not enough power on Earth to run AI at the scale these companies are promising.
Every data center needs massive cooling systems. Billions of gallons of water per year. Insane energy costs.
And the infrastructure can't keep up.
Elon's solution?
Stop building on Earth entirely.
SpaceX is building data centers in SPACE.
Not a concept. Not 10 years out. Literally starting in 2026.
They're upgrading Starlink V3 satellites to carry AI computing chips.
Each satellite gets 24/7 solar power. No clouds. No night. No weather disruptions. No grid bottlenecks.
And the insane part is that Starship can deliver 300 to 500 gigawatts of solar-powered AI satellites into orbit every single year.
At 300 gigawatts per year, the AI computing power in space would exceed the entire U.S. economy's total electricity consumption within two years.
Just from satellites. Processing in orbit.
While Oracle is begging banks for loans to finish data centers and OpenAI is stuck in circular funding arrangements with Microsoft, Elon already owns everything:
The rockets. The satellites. The launch infrastructure. The AI company (xAI).
He doesn't need to ask utilities for permission.
Doesn't need grid approvals from local governments.
Doesn't need to build nuclear plants or wait for clean energy.
He just launches.
And everyone else is scrambling to catch up:
Jeff Bezos sees it. Blue Origin announced they're building their own orbital data centers.
Google just launched "Project Suncatcher" with plans to deploy AI satellites by 2027.
Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, literally BOUGHT an entire rocket company (Relativity Space) just to compete in this space.
But they're all 3+ years behind Elon.
SpaceX already has 6,000+ Starlink satellites in orbit. The infrastructure is built.
The $30 billion from the IPO?
Going straight into scaling orbital compute.
SpaceX revenue is jumping from $15 billion in 2025 to $24 billion in 2026.
Most of that from Starlink. Now add space-based AI infrastructure on top.
Here's why this matters:
Whoever controls orbital computing controls the AI revolution.
And there's only ONE company on Earth with fully reusable rockets that can launch at the scale required.
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, called space data centers "a dream."
Translation: Nvidia is screwed if Elon actually pulls this off.
Because if SpaceX succeeds, every AI company on the planet becomes Elon's customer.
OpenAI needs compute? Running on SpaceX satellites.
Google needs more capacity? Renting orbital infrastructure.
Microsoft needs power? Paying SpaceX for launch and compute access.
Elon won't just be in the AI race.
He'll own the entire track everyone else is running on.
The $1.5 trillion valuation sounds crazy until you realize what he's actually building.
It's not a rocket company. It's the infrastructure layer for the next 50 years of computing.
People calling it overvalued have no idea what's coming.

Cairngorm Bothies is a fantastic, small tourist business on Deeside. But due to a recent change in how the Scottish Govt asses their their rates, they are now seeing a staggering 180% increase meaning an eye watering 618% increase in monthly costs!
They won’t be alone.
fullfact.org/politics/budget… UK GOVT isn't on the side of hardworking people. UK's 'establishment' Fact Checker doesn't hold Truth to Power. Has GOVT broken its manifesto promise to not increase taxes on working people? FullFact.org doesn't judge, awaiting Party comment🤬

Be very wary of high taxes. Any government that has high taxation is giving itself more powers and the people less.
#PatMcFadden was sent by No.10 to ensure #calamity #lammy didn't lose it again! No.10 may tolerate the #Justice Sec losing Prisoners, but they won't tolerate any more temper tantrums!

The #BBC’s problem was a failure to recognise its own bias. I raised issue this with senior BBC management on numerous occasions.
Credulous reporting of Hamas propaganda as fact, selective editing of President Trump, not pulling the Bob Villain feed, the rebuke of Martine Croxall, etc etc
They saw each “mistake” as being in isolation and couldn’t or wouldn’t see a wider pattern.
I hope that this episode will trigger a broader look at bias, groupthink, and political fashion within the BBC by the BBC.
I want the BBC to succeed, it’s a powerful British brand, but it needs a proper kick up the arse for that to happen. Perhaps this is it.
