New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract.

Trump is who we think he is, Fred was a racist and Don was "born to the breed"... he's never covered it up. The "Central Park 5" were accused of a murder, Don took out a full page ad advocating for the death penalty. After the Central park 5 were full exonerated, Trump never apologized.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

It gets worse. Starmer's shortlist for US ambassador.

Mandelson and George Osborne, Mr corruption and Mr Austerity.

The voters can see it.

In Gorton and Denton, it's between the Greens and Reform, and we will win.

The two child benefit limit was responsible for driving child poverty to its current record high. It had a devastating impact on hundreds of thousands of young lives. The Government’s decision to scrap it will lift 450,000 children out of poverty.

🚨 The gov has agreed a #NHS drug price hike with Trump’s administration - and neither the public nor MPs have had a say in it.

This deal could force the NHS to pay BILLIONS more for medicines, pushing other services to breaking point. Watch, share, and tag your MP. 👇🏽
