We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

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.

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

Not much political judgement going on here if Isabel Oakeshott does not realise that Farage & Tice are senior members of the British establishment. Relevant here is that Oakeshott is the partner of Richard Tice jumping to the defence of Tice & his tax evasion.

Sam Coates reports "We've got some breaking news"

It turns out that the head of the civil service told Starmer he should get all the security vetting done before he announced who'd be the new ambassador

"Clearly Starmer chose not to do that, [he] chose to ignore formal advice"

Trump’s presidency is what evil looks like: absurd, frightening, cruel | Nesrine Malik Commentators have said that the US president’s clownishness and lack of ideology somehow make him less dangerous. They’re wrong, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

"Trump’s constant self-aggrandisement, grudges against political adversaries, fury at being challenged by the press, revenge he promises to wreak on the Iranian regime. All are ways to erase and avoid what is a permanent terror of humiliation and obsolescence."

A dislike of EU citizens too.

Entitlement/exceptionalism gave birth to Brexit and is likely to be toughest barrier that the UK will have to demolish if they want back in.

Not that it will be easy to actually qualify.

British exceptionalism that we could get better trade deals. That we can design better regulations. That the pound is more sacred than any other currency. That somehow nobody else was supposed to follow our own populism so that this could come easily.

Brexit. British Exit from the EU. But also stands in my mind for British Exceptionalism. That of being as a country so different to say France or Germany or any other that we couldn't really be happy members of a bloc.

Which was always nonsense.

MAGA howled for a decade about President Obama unfreezing Iranian assets, falsely calling it a gift and terming him a terrorist enabler.

So we'll now hear MAGAs howl about Trump for 50 years and call him an *actual terrorist*, right?

Because they're not fucking hypocrites, right?
