It seemed that by the end of the meeting, all the councillors had deep concerns about Palantir being involved in our hospital. and of course congrats also to Claudia and Dr Nick Mann who spoke so well.

Congrats to all the wonderful Palestine activists and KONP activists who attended the Health in Hackney Scrutiny commission this evening and who, together with Duncan McCann, great speaker from the Good Law Project, completely changed the way the meeting went.

Very dark, very quickly
Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.

This is getting very dark, very quick.
