Wes Streeting must cancel Palantir’s FDP contract now Palantir is not the right partner for the NHS, says Green Party leader Zack Polanski

I've written in Health Service Journal today: Not another protracted Labour government U-turn.

Wes Streeting must act now and cancel the Trump/Mandelson Palantir contract.

NHS workers are voting with their feet and refusing to take part in this national disgrace.

Quote graphic from Zack Polanski, Green Party Leader. 

"The King should be going nowhere near Donald Trump at this time. The truth is, Keir Starmer has waved this visit through because he's scared to stand up to this rogue president. 

Starmer is telling everyone he's Hugh Grant, while the reality is he is imitating Tony Blair by involving Britain in another illegal war in the Middle East. 
The reported 27 US B52 bombers taking off from British soil to bomb Iran is testament to that. "

Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE15 9GQ.

“Starmer must end this involvement in Iran and stop the King's visit to the USA.”
@zackpolanski.bsky.social calls on Starmer to show leadership - stop UK involvement in illegal wars, refuse concessions to Trump, and oppose normalising fascism through inappropriate state visits.

The Senedd (Welsh Parliament) voted to make knowingly lying or misleading an offence for a minister

The only person to vote against it was a Reform MS

Reform’s Laura Anne Jones was the only one who voted against the bill, with 50 MSs backing it.

Not enough that Reform has a 24/7 cheerleading channel (GB News)—they also get 37 mins live on the BBC, while the Greens' press conf. don’t even get a mention.

Is Ofcom asleep, or selectively awake?

And the BBC?Are they failing to do their jobs, or doing exactly what they’ve decided their job is?

In software development there is a phrase "Test it in production".

The statement sounded to me like it was - we will wait to see if someone dies or is severely injured before we do anything.

If the NHS ceases to exist, then "free at the point of use" surely is not quite a lie.

The government continues to claim that nationalising water would cost >£100 billion.

It's a figure that has been repeatedly dubunked - by Professor Dieter Helm, & Professor Ewan McGaughey at the People's Commission for Water, among others.
