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.

Are you mystified that our pundits somehow cannot understand “insulting and offending your own voters while pursuing the approval of people who hate you, makes you very unpopular”? If UK politics was the movie Titanic, then the idea you can’t insult the left and suck off the right is the iceberg.
‘Jellyfish’ and ‘doormat’: why is Keir Starmer so deeply unpopular?
From his public persona to a sense that he sold the country a pup, many factors seem to feed a sense of ‘great dislike’

Not that I believe any of this dreck from these backstabbing ghouls (as much as Ed is the best of the bad bunch) but it's insulting to say your government's mission is to stand up for the powerless when it's spent 18 months demonising and attacking; pensioners, trans people, asylum seekers etc.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

[In my opinion] Wes Streeting drove dozens of children to suicide for political advantage and then tried to cover it up.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

Literally posted YESTERDAY about what a grifting morally bankrupt ghoul Sarwar is and, oh look, right on queue.
Anas Sarwar says today of Peter Mandelson: “I'm utterly disgusted and furious about the entire situation … He never should have been the ambassador to the US.”
For context, here’s Sarwar in April 2025 love-bombing his ‘old friend’.
They think we are stupid.
He is an amoral opportunistic chancer.

Anas Sarwar has always been one of the most deceitful, grifting politicians in Scotland and it never ceases to amaze me how some people fall for that deception. It's always been an illusion that he believes in progressive politics rather than his own self-importance, image and career.
