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.

Severe weather swings leave families battling floods and farmers facing bad year The Met Office said this winter will be remembered for its ‘relentless rain’.

@the-independent.com The headline needs amending to ANOTHER bad year. I'm not sure when the last GOOD year for UK farmers was (definitely not last year) #climatechaos www.the-independent.com/climate-chan...

Do you think trans people, and people in general, should be able to pee in peace without someone questioning their gender? If so please get involved with the #MyBitsMyBusiness project and make a pair of pants for the pants bunting, panting ;-)

I’ve written to the Energy Secretary to tell him he must be at the first international conference to phase-out fossil fuels.

We have a key opportunity to end the fossil fuel era and make sure it takes corporate courts with it. Write to Ed Miliband here: act.globaljustice.org.uk/tell-energy-...

White background, and the logo in the top, centred.

Statement Title: On the High Court ruling and DfE guidance.
Statement Text: As an (outgoing) committee, we are looking through the High Court ruling and Department for Education guidance that have been published hours after each other.

The gist we get from the DfE guidance does not paint a great picture for trans youth who wish to socially transition, this is regardless of if their parents are suportive of them or not.

Add onto this, that once trans youth do escape from the hell on earth that will be school for them, the High Court ruling will make it such that they can't use the toilets that match their gender in the workplace.

Guidance such as this will cause irreparable harm to trans people who just want to live comfortably. This guidance will cause trans people, which are already feeling incredibly embattled, to lose faith.

We are currently writing motions to our Spring Conference, and we are having conversations internally about the best way forwards to fight it.

Zack Polanski pressures Wes Streeting over Palantir after Mandelson texts released ZACK Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantir’s NHS contracts after the Health Secretary’s newly-released text messages…

A £240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform.

And Farage knows his candidate is weak as.

Hannah Spencer for the win.

Asylum seekers are not ‘illegal immigrants’. No matter how normalised this term has become, I will not use it, and I will always point out its ugliness.
