NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Absolutely outrageous. Political parties should be answerable first and foremost to the public - not to the agenda of uber-wealthy donors. We urgently need a cap on political donations and a ban on crypto donations.

Lovely painting. Bringing back fond memories. I might well have been sitting nearby, taking in the view over the Mill pond and drinking some organic scrumpy from The Mill. 🍻
I expect more pictures like this after the weekend because he is the 🍊 💩 puppet as much as Putin's.
It's about time our electricity costs were decoupled from gas.
Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.
A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.
🙂👍
Spain, France, and the UK refused the US from using their airfields to conduct an illegal war. He's not happy they said no.
He wants to create the problem and use it to his, and his immoral billionaire benefactors, benefit - he simply wants to weaponise the resulting migrants.
Funnily enough, the actions of the USA and Israel will result in increased migration from Iran, to Europe, by those seeking safety.
1. Support and fund far right parties (AfD, Reform, etc.)
2. Create migration problem
3. Weaponise migrants - blame for all our issues
4. Far right ends up in power
It's also going to mean a further influx of refugees arriving in Europe, providing further fuel to the far-right parties Trump and Putin are actively supporting, such as AfD, Reform, etc.
Hmmm... You don't suppose this means future elections might need to be put on hold indefinitely??? 🤔
Huge news!!
Anyone who wants to help push us onwards, it's easy: join.greenparty.org.uk
It should be obvious that all far-right parties in Europe are being funded and supported by the Putin, Tump, and Netanyahu criminal syndicate. All should be treated like terrorist organisations and traitors to peace loving peoples.
Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
Interesting video on the history of Crieff, Scotland.

Think of a Zohran Mamdani environmentalist.
In Gorton and Denton, it's the Green Party Vs Reform.
With the brilliant Caroline Lucas, we spoke with @politicsjoe.bsky.social

Disappointing, but not surprising. Yet again Labour shrinks away from doing the right thing because the lobbyists and corporations won’t like it.
www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵

Preventing local authorities from pursuing the most ambitious environmental standards that go beyond current, inadequate building regulations for greener homes is shameful & shortsighted, & cheats people out of warm, energy efficient homes👇

Fantastic song. Please share far and wide, especially Gorton & Denton in the short term - there's a by-election on Thursday!!!

Reform want ICE-style deportations in the UK — the kind that have wreaked havoc in the US.
Instead of standing up to this Trump tribute act, Labour is echoing it. And it won’t fix what’s broken. Inequality is the problem — and only the Greens have a plan to confront it.
@CarlaDenyer.bsky.social
The US once funded tools to bypass censorship in authoritarian regimes. Now it plans to bypass laws in European democracies.
Europe says it’s protecting citizens: Washington calls it civilisational decline.
Who is going to supply ‘http://freedom.gov ’ with material that breaks UK law?
He is, once again, taking directions from his US handlers. They probably paid for his little trip as well. What do you call it when you're acting to benefit another country over your own??? 🤔
Chagos Islands: Do not give away Diego Garcia, Trump tells UK - BBC News share.google/aL95q78IxYnN...
🇺🇸 Even after all of the chaos caused by ICE in the US, Reform UK still seem desperate to impersonate Trump.
ICE has divided America and led to violence in the streets.
⚠️ Reform UK are no friends of the British people.
"The report, reviewed by the FT, decided against using Palantir technology for Swiss military data since there was a risk that US authorities could gain access to the sensitive files."
Yet here Labour continues to shove public money down its throat.
Boris Johnson colluding with right wing Americans to undermine the UK.
Where have I heard this before?

This one hits hard.
