Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here Peter Thiel's data surveillance company Palantir is powering Trump's ICE operation in the US. Carole Cadwalladr argues that the UK will be next

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM.

It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line.

Gary β€˜Mani’ Mounfield, the Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist, dies aged 63 Ian Brown and Tim Burgess were among those to pay tribute to Mani, whose death was announced by his brother and nephew

Very sad news… the Stone Roses and Primal Scream! What an unbelievable career and lucky to have seen him in both bands. Will any bass intro ever beat the bass line at the start of I wanna be Adored πŸŽΈπŸ’”πŸ™ #RIPMani

I’ve been to Glastonbury Festival 19 times. It gets better every year. I always feel safe, even when I find myself in a bottleneck of thousands of people. It’s more diverse than ever, and those who attend just want to have a good time amongst likeminded people, just sayin. Great article 😊

At Glastonbury, I saw what England’s silent majority really looks like. Why aren’t politicians listening? | John Harris Orthodox politics no longer represents how people feel about the world. Sooner or later, something will have to give, says Guardian columnist John Harris

This year was my 19th time at the festival, first year was β€œ98”. Never had anything confiscated, always taken plenty of alcohol in. People say it’s not like it used to be, I couldn’t agree more, it’s so much better now. Watched 19 acts this year, equates to around Β£20 a set, well worth it πŸ₯°
