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.

Labour should halt public contracts with the US tech company Palantir, opposition politicians have said, amid growing concern at the lack of government transparency over dealings with the company and Peter Mandelson.
Since 2023, Palantir has secured more than £500m in contracts with the NHS and the Ministry of Defence, while it employed Global Counsel, the lobbying firm founded by Mandelson.

I misread an ingredient in a Korean recipe and bought a bottle of red wine. I checked the recipe again when I got home, it was rice wine and I didn't have it at home... I thought adding red wine was an odd addition 😅 Off to shop again before school run!

I feel a bit guilty of coming out to the cinema and watching two films this evening, on a weekday. I liked the first film and I hope the second film will be good too 😀
I may struggle to wake up for school run tomorrow morning though...

Kids are on X, because wrongly some parents allow their kids to go online unchecked or kids just lie and bypass any obstacles. Musk knows this and still wants them to see child abuse images because "free speech". He should be in prison like any child porn distributor.

My daughter goes back to school tomorrow, so we visited the aquarium today. Nice and quiet on a weekday 👍 She kept telling me ocean facts all the way 😵
She bought a few items on the way out, but I couldn't stop feeling sorry for octopus and giant seahorses - they had really sad eyes 🥹

My husband and I have different tastes in films, so he goes to the cinema with his friends and I usually go alone. He looked shocked when I said I'm going to watch a film this week with my film buddy 🤣 He looked relieved when I said she is an older lady I met at community events 🙂
