Doing genocide and running torture-rape camps is apparently fine but upsetting US Christian Zionists is a “moral wake-up call”. Absolute degeneracy.

Card with image of Starmer and Louis Mosley ‘It beggars belief’: MoD sources warn Palantir’s role at heart of government is threat to UK’s security By Charlie Young and Carole Cadwalladr

NEW

MoD sources warn Palantir’s role at heart of government is threat to UK’s security.

One said: "Ministers clearly have a lack of understanding of Palantir’s technology"

Text card: Palantir, the US AI surveillance and security firm with hundreds of millions of pounds in UK government contracts, poses ‘a national security threat to the UK’, according to two anonymous high-level sources working with the Ministry of Defence.

The experts claim that government reassurances that claims UK data remains under their ownership miss the point that Palantir has the capability to build its own detailed picture of the British population, and even infer state secrets

Starmer has been under fire so now back to Nigel Farage:

1. Who paid for his Clacton house?

2. Has Tice paid his tax bill?

3. Why does his company Thorn In Side Ltd own properties that are not declared?

5. What does he gain from supporting the likes of Nathan Gill?

#NigelFarage

“One source said: ‘Palantir does not need to own the data or even have stewardship. They can extract, transform and exploit the metadata to build their own rich picture.

INSANELY powerful speech about one of the most evil, legal industries: Big Tobacco.

This industry kills 8+ million people/year. More than HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria combined. The #1 cause of preventable death on earth.

Yet the fight against it gets just 0.1% of global health funding. 🧵

From what we've learned recently one of the UK's biggest problems is an incoherent Civil Service.

I think you're right.
McSweeney (and Mandelson) have left their mark on Labour. What will it take to scrub the Party clean?
And whose fingerprints will be next to subvert democracy?
It's bound to happen in a Party system.

A detail everyone is ignoring or forgetting.

Peter Mandelson masterminded Keir Starmer's reshuffle days before the scandal broke.

That is, while he was the US Ambassador.

This seems like quite an important detail!

Why Britain is now turning on its political establishment With local elections looming, voters are abandoning mainstream parties as economic frustration deepens across Britain

A political shock is coming in the local elections.

Thousands of seats could change hands.

But the real story isn’t who’s winning.

It’s why voters are leaving.

The rush to appease Trump led Keir Starmer into this ethical void | Rafael Behr Mandelson’s flaws were mistaken for credentials to represent Britain in the court of a rogue president, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Atlantic currents aren’t some distant risk.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is already weakening, and if it tips, the consequences are real: a colder Europe, disrupted food systems, frozen ports, energy shortages.

This isn’t a 2100 problem.

It’s happening now. 😔

Streeting refuses to publish secret Palantir NHS briefings | Good Law Project The health secretary wants to keep us in the dark about Palantir’s systems for handling sensitive health records, so we’re taking legal action with Democracy for Sale to fight back

Lost that pic, though.

War On Free Speech Expands To Detention, Sanctions Of Individuals - PopularResistance.Org The plutocratic power structure in the United States is clamping down on our right to know and to dissent by illegally detaining individuals who speak out or shutting down their access to financial services. Clearing the FOG speaks with political analyst Ali Alizadeh about the unlawful detention of Iranian public policy PhD student at Virginia Tech, Yousof Azizi, who is frequently a guest on major media outlets. The second guest is Rainey Reitman of the Freedom of the Press foundation, who discusses her new book, "Transaction Denied: Big finance's power to punish speech."

Is the UK Civil Service up to the job?
Everything I've heard in the past week or so makes me think they've lost the plot and lost sight of what their central purpose is.
Too much buck-passing and back-covering. Possibly too many jobs for the posh boys who have too little of a clue

A huge zero for me

It seems obvious to me that McSweeney is behind all this nonsense.
He was in the right place to pressure Robbins (and others) and to "guide" Starmer.
Starmer may have been a great prosecutor, but imho he seems perpetually bewildered by politics.
