Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Great meeting of the Worthing Green Party last night at the Heene Community Centre. Good to see so many young people determined to improve our society. (At my age anybody under 50 are young).

I went to my first Green Party meeting. In a few months the local party has gone from 10 to 600 members. The chairman is 83 years old. However, he has been a member for many years.

Thank you to the more than 1,000 musicians who released this SILENT album to protest changes to copyright law that make it easier for AI companies to steal artists’ work to train their models.

I am extremely pleased the Government has started to *listen* and made no final decisions yet.
