559. Who Really Benefits from the Ceuta Migration Crisis?

To hear the full episode, which includes an interview with global water expert, Sandra Postel, sign up at the therestispolitics.com

With the government quietly categorising data centres as ‘critical infrastructure’, could we ever be in a situation where data centre water supply is prioritised over the water that comes out of our taps? Why do we no have clear data that tells just how much water data centres use? And why are so many data centres being built in areas which are already water stressed?

Can Andy Burnham, in a single term or less, fix problems like social care that are generations in the making?

As wildfires tear through France and Spain, have we already passed the climate and nature tipping point?
