How Palantir infiltrated the state At a moment of national emergency, the government handed our data to Peter Thiel’s controversial company

Everyone is talking about Palantir’s controversial manifesto. Last year, Mark Wilding from Liberty investigated how the UK government handed our data to Peter Thiel’s company

Aka 'historical novel'.

If hearing the term ‘patriotic history’ doesn’t ring immediate alarm bells, you don’t know enough, well, actual history.

Guaridan: On Tuesday, peers were told that the UK could have pursued an alternative path such as the “mutual recognition” of food standards that supports trade between New Zealand and the UK. That would have removed the need for dynamic alignment with the EU, said Shanker Singham, chair of the Growth Commission and a past adviser to some MPs on alternative arrangements for Brexit in Northern Ireland.

This enrages me. That this "expert" is invited to speak at parliamentary committees and lies about Europe.

The UK did ask, Shankar Singham. It was told, clearly, that mutual recognition was not appropriate for the trading relationship between UK and Europe.

As of May 2025 the UK entered into a Security and Defense Partnership with the EU that commits the UK to "close cooperation on sanctions".

So we may not he in the EU but we are still involved on many levels.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot: “If the Israeli government does not change its policies in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon we cannot act as if nothing has happened.

“Sanctions against Israel are currently being blocked due to Hungary's veto.

Reform’s plan to make schools fly union flags and deliver ‘patriotic’ history lessons draws backlash 'More performative, virtue signalling tripe'

Reform’s focus on ‘patriotic’ history neglects other aspects of the country’s past, such as the British Empire and Britain having played a leading role in the slave trade

Love to know which Tory donor via what oblique investment vehicle, had an interest in this firm.

And who were among the central figures in this contract? Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick. Both now bleating about tHe cOrrUpT eStAbLiShMeNt from Reform's ranks.

This is what the Iran war is all about

Donald Trump is trying to get Iran replaced with Italy in the FIFA World Cup even though Italy didn't qualify.

Nobody should have anything to do with this rotten corrupt World Cup.

Annual UK borrowing falls by £20bn but Iran war clouds outlook

Labour are turning around the uk

But these positive achievements are drowned out by a

Far right dominated Uk media landscape

That’s don’t want to report on the positives

Media regulation MUST improve in the Uk

Media is ruin us

Suspiciously low following for so many posts and never actually responds.

Why the hell does he never get asked about this in interviews? He is the leader of a political party, potentially our next PM (🤮🤮) and yet he never gets asked why he can’t be bothered to actually do his job, locally or nationally, and participate properly in our democracy.

Rightwing papers have temporarily got bored of wanging on about Starmer.

Not @theguardian.com though. They are ploughing on with their plans to replace him with Rayner. Anything to avoid stories about the corruption of Farage and Reform.

The country is governed by the needs of the media

Over the years of his unfortunate relevance I have sought in vain to find Nigel Farage defining what he likes about this country - and it’s astonishingly difficult to do – which is weird really because he is without a doubt the most influential and best known English nationalist of our era.

Or 'power'.

I'm just going to leave this here!

The 'Preston model' is an inspiration - it would be such a shame to see it fade away.

The coolest thing about solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to go get it. GREENPEACE

🚨How public services work in private hands:

👉First, they do a bad job and miss all targets

👉Second, they lower the targets to be more achievable, instead of improving

👉Finally, they also miss even those lowered targets

Bring Royal Mail into public ownership🔥

Hugely important elections coming up on May 7th across the UK

Ossoff: "The financial entanglement, the way UAE money, Emirati money has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in US history. Who are Trump's 2 chief negotiators? Kushner & Witkoff. The people doing diplomacy are at the same time on personal business."

That and controlling the POTUS.
