Remember the leverage Palantir now has in our NHS because of an enormous deal done without any competition I may add, a gift from Mandelson & Streeting

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is right about Palantir, it needs to GO

If anything even vaguely beneficial to the UK can come out of the whole Mandelson thing, it should be an investigation into his links with Palantir and a complete cancellation of Government contracts with an organisation that is profoundly anti-democratic and anti-people.

Dame Karen Pearce. Former US Ambassador. Thrown out with the bath water. Baroness Grey, Former Chief of Staff to Keir Starmer. Thrown out with the bathwater. Then we ended up with Mandelson & McSweeney. We have a theme here.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

Dear Keir, if you hope to rehabilitate your career you need to explain to a fearful public why you chose to deals with this dangerous man.
Mandelson was just the tip of the iceberg.
You need to change course completely if you truly want to stop the far right.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage.

His first question was: “who funds him?”

Circa '88 my HS drama teacher decided to adapt Slaughterhouse 5. Wrote Vonnegut for permission, as one did. Vonnegut writes back: "My lawyer tells me if I give you permission you become my collaborator. Can't do it. P.S. I've never sued anyone in my life and aint starting now. Good luck."

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

My analysis here not only explains why the CPS numbers are wrong - but estimates that if they'd got their own arithmetic right, they would have concluded that migrants are a large long-term fiscal *benefit*. (3/3)

The CPS' own website now admits they got the numbers wrong and should not be used.

Farage isn't just making up numbers - he/Reform are deliberately using numbers that they know to be wrong and have been withdrawn (2/3).

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)
