But in private he is refusing to let us see what civil servants told him about Palantir

So, with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social, we are taking him to court to try and force him to hand over the briefings.

The modern age is the last gasp and juvenile scream of Manhood asserting that it would rather reduce the world to rubble than imagine one where it does not hold primacy.

GOOD.
