Palantir, yet again. 🤬🤬🤬
Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

"The result has been a government alienated from its base that doesn’t understands how to do anything let alone what it should be doing."

That line has more than a ring of truth about it.
It's a provocative piece, but a thought provoking read.

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.

This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

Starmer didn’t win the last election because of some genius campaign. He won because the country had had enough of Tory incompetence, failure and chaos.
If his Chief of Staff can’t stop Starmer repeating the same mistakes, or even make him look marginally competent, they should be fired.

I loved reading the Washington Post and as a young trainee journalist met my hero Ben Bradlee … then interviewed him when I was working for the BBC in Washington - this is a very sad moment for journalism.
And for America.
I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Ok UK media - oh so scandalised by Mandelson - when are you going to be scandalised by US interference in our democracy? Epstein, Farage, Bannon, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Trump, Brexit, Heritage Foundation, the funding of far right populism to collapse our govts….??
After you’ve helped their collapse?
Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

💥 GOOD.

Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…

…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…

…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

Stinks.

We should all condemn this without hesitation. But something tells me Farage will find a way to make excuses for his best mate Trump. I hope I’m wrong.

“I decided to become a journalist because I truly believed that by reporting rigorously & honestly, we could improve this world. I still believe it now.“

The decline of standards in public life is reflected in journalism decline & is part of the cause.
A proper journalist leaves a legacy letter. Many practitioners of ‘journalism’ should remind themselves of the standards of their profession. You know who you are:
