Palantir of course is run by a gleefully evil CEO who smilingly characterized all Palestinians as “useful idiots” at a public Q and A session. He claimed Palantir tech was used only to kill “terrorists” in Gaza - so no connection at all to the genocide there.

To see how Labour stitched the UK up in today's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA, you have to turn to the US readout of what they're getting in return.
It spells out what was as clear as mud in the UK government's own press release: we will pay more for medicines.

This is a good question. "When did you last have a politician at your door?"
My answer would be "Never in 28 years" although I'd caveat that by saying I campaigned alongside my MP and MSP on other folks doorsteps a decade or so ago.
