"Lies and Dirty Tricks: How the Starmer-Mandelson-McSweeney Project Was Always Doomed to Fail"

Great piece from author Paul Holden for Zeteo on the political shitshow in the UK:

Lies and Dirty Tricks: How the Starmer-Mandelson-McSweeney Project Was Always Doomed to Fail

Labour is hemorrhaging support, ex-chief of staff McSweeney is out, and in the most recent blow, the UK's High Court ruled Starmer's proscription of Palestine Action as a terror group was unlawful.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

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.

Palestinian identity as it exists today cannot produce peace and only leads to more conflict with Israel.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 12d

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
