1/2🧵: If you are #London on Monday and hate #datacenters, go to the Save #Bricklane campaign. #AndyBurnham's government via #AngelaRayner just bypassed #TowerHamlets decision to oppose the project, talk about being a #devolution champion or an #environment champion in the city's longest #drought in 30 years!
