Greater Manchester ICB has again put off its adoption of an NHS data platform prescribed by the UK government and run by Palantir until there is more evidence that it will be in the “best interests” of the city's population 👀

Welfare cuts for the poor/disabled were not in Labour's election manifesto.
PM Keir Starmer said: “those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden”. Then hit the poorest.
Biggest cuts since those imposed by Tories in July 2015.
There is no economic/moral justification.
As hate rises be the love
The people have spoken.
Good morning everyone.

Farrige gives the impression he doesn’t trust scientists, but was willing to believe a taxi driver in Buckinghamshire, that Sharia Law is coming to Britain.

There’s a book to be written on how anti Net zero became a totemic issue on the British right
I wrote a long piece for @thetls.bsky.social a year ago on the money and influence campaign behind anti Net zero but it’s become even more pronounced since then

Agree @petergeoghegan.bsky.social. Its just the latest chapter of anti-green, climate denial sentiment stretching back decades. Look at Tufton Street & @iealondon.bsky.social and how they have always denied climate change and attacked greens. More on beginnings here www.routledge.com/Green-Backla...

My photos shows a well-preserved ancient Egyptian Wig, dated c. 1425–1353 BC. It is made of dark brown human hair. Wig dimensions 30 cm x 45 cm. The locks of human hair were sewn together and braided. The hair is parted in the middle and curled into ringlets that end with braids on either side of the face and on the back of the neck. This type of hairdo was often decorated with flowers and diadems, which were very fashionable in the mid- 18th dynasty, as can be seen in paintings and statues of the period. The wig belonged to a high-ranking lady called Merit, who was the wife of Kha, ‘chief of works’ (foreman) who supervised the royal tomb construction workers. The intact tomb of Kha and Merit (TT8) was discovered in 1906 by Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli, at the Theban necropolis at the workers village of Deir-el-Medina The wig was contained in a shrine-shaped wig box crafted from acacia wood with Merit’s name written in hieroglyphs on the outside.
An astoundingly well-preserved 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian wig made from human hair!
Worn by a lady called Merit, it was placed in her tomb for use in the afterlife. I saw this remarkable artefact last week at the Museo Egizio in Turin. 📷 by me

I would sell my soul to the devil to save each of them.
Especially if I recognized the devil.
Horrific!! It’s a hostile takeover.
