This is disgusting.

It is also the compnay that the UK government has given unrestricted access to its citizen's data.
The government is also interested in integregrating Palantir AI into all goverment services.

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called β€˜mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

A crypto investor just donated Β£9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Voters in the upcoming Rushden South Ward by-election on Thursday 19th March have a choice between two blue candidates and a fantastic GREEN one. Only the Tories, Reform & the Green Party have selected candidates. Let Caroline be your voice on that council, Vote Caroline Whiley πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ».

UK economy recorded zero growth in January

Before you yell about this Labour government, remember the story, and it looks like Thatcher, 2008, Cameron and Brexit, Farage and Brexit, Johnson and Brexit, Truss and the lettuce.

We MUST tell this story & rejoin the EU with Labour pledging it in 2029.

UK economy failed to grow in January, figures show Analysts had been expecting 0.2% growth for the UK economy at the beginning of the year.

Until we undo Brexit, this is the UK: extremely slow or no growth perpetually making our headlines.

We trashed our economy & economic prospects because Farage & Johnson don’t like brown people.

Zero growth. Again. That's the price while they squabble
Starmer lying, Tories lied us into this, monarchy protected a nonce, Farage milking it. Living standards flatlining.
They fight, we pay. Who's straight with us? #bbcbreakfast

Can't believe Kemi Badenoch is complaining about the student loan system. Just like brexit small boat migration and Nigel Farage, it's like the arsonist complaining about the burnt house!

Keir Starmer is more at home in foreign policy But a lack of strong political instincts or ideology has left his government drifting

This is such an astute piece on why Starmer's preference for "no disputes, no ideology, just the brief" works better in foreign policy than at home - www.ft.com/content/55a3... via @FT no

Mahmood of 8 yrs ago told herself and Starmer what was going to happen and they chose to go ahead and encourage racism through extreme anti-immigration policies and rhetoric. Now they need a law to try to control the genie they released-
not so easy to put it back in the bottle

Mandelson files: It's difficult to see how Starmer can put this right Sir Keir Starmer promised to clean up politics, and yet he finds himself in the centre of one of the biggest political scandals this century.

"And we're supposed to believe, that the prime minister, who was once the chief prosecutor in this country, couldn't see through this nonsense. It beggars belief."

Phillips says Starmer has done lots to tackle violence against women & girls & she has "kicked off" quite a lot over the issue

The reality: Starmer gave Mandelson a top govt job despite his relationship with a convicted paedophile & Phillips said nothing publicly at the time

Note to UK reporters. This is how to do it when Farage brings it up. No more questions, no more interviews, no more TV appearances until he show the evidence for his claims.

Oof right up the Starmer...

The union’s general secretary, Sharon Graham said: β€œUnite members are coming to the end of the line as far as Labour is concerned.

β€œWorkers are scratching their heads asking whose side are Labour on, who do they really represent...?"

I imagine Badenoch's relationship with animals extends to hunting them, killing them, skinning them and serving the carcass up to her kids for dinner πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ just the vibe I get.

I was proud to vote against restricting trial by jury last night.

If more Labour backbenchers had taken a stand, alongside the Liberal Democrats, we could have stopped the government.
