Why is Starmer giving our personal and institutional data to Palantir as well as enormous public contracts?

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
This is a war based on lies
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
This is the shocking story of how the British Department for Education has been captured by Israeli forces. Bridget Phillipsson, the Secretary of State for Education.

More than 40% of ships globally transport fossil fuels. Nearly all of them run on fossil fuels too.
NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.
First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.
Labour need to rename themselves 'Capital'. Then we can set up a party called Labour, that stands by its name.
"In retrospect, basing the entire global food system on fossil fuels may have been a poor idea." -- @benehrenreich.bsky.social

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
I’ve long assumed that Samuel Alito was the worst Supreme Court Justice in recent history. But I’ve come to revise my view in light of recent comments made by one judge in particular. Let me explain... robertreich.substack.com/p/the-worst-justice-in-m...
Basket of picked green beans in the middle of the field for workers are harvesting
"Adan" shared this photo from the Coachella CA where hes picking green beans. "I get paid 40 cents per pound. The work is exhausting - especially due to the excessive heat in the area. But this is how I support my family." #WeFeedYou
And last but not least, our entry in the "most creative setup" category: the cargo bike train. @bikefun.bsky.social #nashvillebicyclefestival
A sexual abuse survivor speaks out today as foul Right Wing racists try to scream over her.
"I stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault and I stand in solidarity with Refugees."
So right.
But maybe Tice is right now and the accounts were wrong in 2022? Maybe the Tisun companies were using group losses?
Problem is: there were no group losses.
Richard Tice signed Tisun accounts for 2021
The accounts weren't audited. We don't know who prepared them, but Richard Tice signed them:
A table showing total REIT distributions received by the Tisun companies over three years were: Tisun One: £161,202 Tisun Two: £160,876 Tisun Three: £160,876 Tisun Four: £30,947 Total: £513,901
The wrong use of the dividend exemption appears over all four companies for three years.
The total untaxed income was £513,901. The corporation tax rate at the time was 19%, and so the unpaid tax was £97,641.
Full workings/reconciliations in our report.
iXBRL code showing the tag TaxIncreaseDecreaseFromEffectDividendsFromCompanies was applied to the negative 11,572 figure
Maybe someone was being sloppy and typed "dividend income" when they really meant "dividend income is sheltered by losses".
Nope. The code the accountants' software submitted to Companies House contains a specific dividend exemption tag
More in this in our report.
Tax reconciliation showing £11,572 of tax being cancelled by £11,572 of dividend exemption.
Second, the accounts don't show what Tice claimed.
This (T3, 2021) shows £60,906 of dividend income and says expected tax = £11,572, but cancelled by dividend exemption.
Not losses.
And **There is no dividend exemption for REIT distributions**
The front page of Tisun Three's accounts. It says they're "unaudited".
First, the easy one: the accounts weren't audited. It says so on the front page.
1. The companies weren't audited.
2. The accounts show the dividend exemption was claimed - wrongly. They don't show group losses being used.
3. And there were no losses in the group.
