Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson
Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting
Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS
Nothing to see or everything to see
Palantir must be removed from the NHS
"Are you really expecting us to believe that a senior civil servant, off his own bat.. unilaterally overruled vetting to approve a political appointment?"
Starmer: "I was not told.."
"Doesn't this just sound like you don't have a grip on your govt"
Starmer: "I was not told.. "
This is crazy if correct. No10 and Keir Starmer were reportedly unaware that Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting. How is such a thing even possible? With all the questions that were apparently asked of Mandelson surely someone would have thought to ask “did he pass his security vetting?”
Corporate Welfare.
UK Govt to give £380m grant to Tata battery factory in Somerset.
The Govt isn't taking an equity stake in return, won't receive any dividends. It isn't a loan and isn't repayable.
Political parties demonize human recipients of welfare but hand free money to corporations.
Royal Mail was privatised 13 years ago.
Since then prices have tripled, and the service is garbage.
Another lesson of how privatisation never works.
Nationalise the lot, don't pay a penny, they have already stolen enough.
Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave.
Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers.
Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse.
Life commodified & financialised.
Profits for the few, misery for many.
lan Byrne MP • @IanByrneMP • 45m I'm one of many worried Labour MPs who've now submitted Subject Access Requests to both Labour Together and the US firm it hired. Because the evidence is mounting this went beyond journalists and it points to something deeply troubling for a democratic society. If MPs & journalists were being monitored which the evidence points to, that's not just wrong, it's a fundamental breach of trust and democracy. So let's be clear "naive" doesn't come close to describing the actions of Labour Together. MPs have written to the PM & the General Secretary of the Labour Party for a full and independent investigation into Labour Together and everyone connected to it. No more dodging. No more silence.
Your man here is absolutely correct that this is the Times and the BBC drawing a line under this whole slapstick affair, before it gets out of hand and people really start lifting rocks to see what’s under them
Trump pardoned 77 people this week that stole from Medicare. This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.
Maybe it's the wake up call the American Empire needs. Time to try out no King and no Imperialism?
“If tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” -Thomas Jefferson #NoKings
A politician with the guts to say it:
"No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War."
- Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.
I wonder if AIPAC is coping to the fact that a majority of Americans are rooting for Iran?
We are sick of Israel’s shit. They started all of this. They started it with the Nakba, they started it with genocide, they started it w/Iraq & now they started it with Iran.
And we are over that shit.
Listen to a grieving mother and have no doubts: water privatisation has been a lethal scandal.
Avoidable tragedies caused by ideology of privatisation & profiteering.
Govts listen to corporations and their controllers, not the pain of the people.
The people who cheered on the Iran catastrophe must be branded pariahs and driven from public life.
Enough of this deranged insanity.
How many more calamities?
Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Gaza.
Enough! Treat these people like ISIS supporters.
The firm that planned Trump’s January 6th rally, now staffed by his former officials, has raked in $22 million in federal contracts.
The majority came through special carveouts that blocked other firms from bidding.
Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?
Palestine is still the issue:
Until Palestine is free, we are all paying the price

Thames Water: Private equity floats new £10bn rescue plan.
PE has already devoured TW and other water companies, now want more.
Customer bills will rise, dividends will be paid, sewage will be dumped, asset will be stripped, taxes will be dodged.
Only public ownership can help customers.
Which explains why nobody votes for them.
It's not the comms. It's their authoritarianism and right wing neo liberal policies resulting from corporate capture that have lost the core vote.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Is anything being done about the four rogue Democrats who recently voted against stopping the funding of The Apocolypse?

And there was Margaret Knight, whose seminal radio broadcasts about ‘morality without religion’ led to her being castigated by sexist tabloids as a foolish woman allowed to run wild by the lenient men in her life. You can learn more with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social. youtu.be/0LCTHGm1-lg?...
And it's CEO is a peace of shit
This nonsense of ‘allies of’ spinning BS and getting it regurgitated by senior journalists really needs to end
Josh Simons resigned before a full independent investigation could examine how he paid PR to investigate journalists when running Labour Together
That’s the story
It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.
True!
Reform UK for sale.
It had to return over £200,000 in donations from 18 ineligible overseas donors.
It received £9m from a person in Thailand.
Its former Wales leader received 10.5 yrs prison sentence for accepting bribes to promote pro-Russian narratives.
Elon Musk promised $100m.
They say the royal family is a tourist attraction. So is Legoland, and last time I checked, it hadn't leaked trade secrets to predatory billionaire paedophiles.
