🚨NEW: The closure of Ridley Road’s indoor shopping village as been halted this afternoon as some traders refused to leave without a written guarantee they’d be able to return when it reopens…

The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. #PalantirOUT

Breaking news Urgent community announcement. Arrestee support is needed at Hatfield police station for Qesser!! #urgent #support #police #arrested #breakingnews

I attended the Green Party conference today and due to a mixture of reason we never even heard our motion. Before I return to speak on this I wanted to amplify the last thing we heard before we were told the conference had ended! #conference #green #greenparty #news #politics

Survival mode turned on for a while, and I have been feeling tired lately, but seeing how horribly this occupation wants me died.. makes me think of the importance of our spirit, patience and long term resistance.. ANYWAYS, these are wild plants from Gaza saying: “we are here”!

Fascinating conversation here. This is what happens when people in positions of media power are confronted with realities they don’t know how to process.

I would like to remind the British people that in 1994 the Mossad bombed the Israeli embassy in the UK. The MI5 confirmed this happened, and then hid the report. It’s still hidden until today. Brits, now as more important than ever: Ask your government to release the report.

Will you join me in making this pledge? They cannot scrap juries unless we as a profession are complicit. We have the right to say no. Barristers, solicitors, paralegals and caseworkers up and down the land. Without us they have no Lammy Diplock Courts. Make your voice heard.

A few weeks ago, the British Palestinian Committee hosted a launch event in parliament for Forensic Architecture and Earshot's groundbreaking report on Israel's massacre of aid workers in Gaza in March 2025. Their research revealed that two days following the massacre, a British reconnaissance flight flew over the site of the massacre. We demand that the government reveal this crucial evidence to aid in this investigation and future accountability efforts.

Today I received a response to my FOI request to the Cabinet Office about a £735,000 contract awarded to Palantir Technologies in 2015, with no competitive tender, for what was described as an "enterprise analytical platform and intelligence service" for Brexit preparations. They refused to provide any information. Not on exemption grounds. On cost grounds — Section 12 of the FOI Act: too expensive to retrieve. They added, remarkably, that the records are so old that even refining the request wouldn't bring it under the £600 limit. Make of that what you will. This contract predates the NHS deal. It predates the MoD deal. It predates all of it. It is Palantir's quiet entry point into the British state, through the Government Digital Service, during the most politically turbulent period in postwar UK history. And we can't see it. Meanwhile, here is where Palantir now sits inside the UK public sector in 2026: NHS England — £330m Federated Data Platform contract (up for renewal 2027) Ministry of Defence — £240m direct contract + £1.5bn strategic partnership, explicitly to "transform lethality on the battlefield" and develop a "kill chain" Police forces across England Cabinet Office DLUHC Two serving MoD systems engineers have now gone on record calling Palantir "a national security threat to the UK." Their concern: Palantir doesn't need to own the data. The mosaic effect, cross-referencing defence, health, policing, infrastructure, means the company likely has, in their words, "a complete profile on the whole UK population." This is the same company whose software was used by the Israeli military in Gaza and Lebanon. Whose CEO Alex Karp says he is "exceedingly proud" of Palantir's role in what he calls "operationally crucial operations in Israel." Whose platforms are now powering ICE deportation operations under Trump — including a tool that generates "confidence scores" on the current addresses of deportation targets. The UN Special Rapporteur identified Palantir as complicit in war crimes and "profiting from genocide." Amnesty International, Medact, the British Medical Association, and the Green Party are all now calling for the NHS contract to be cancelled. Hospitals in Manchester and Leeds are already prioritising local, publicly owned alternatives. And Keir Starmer? He toured Palantir's Washington headquarters with CEO Alex Karp in February 2025. His Health Secretary Wes Streeting — who privately admitted Israel was "committing war crimes before our eyes" — told journalists that criticism of Palantir's NHS access didn't "wash with me." He then told Palantir that plans to review NHS data governance represented "opportunities." The Information Commissioner is currently investigating the government's refusal to release documents about Palantir's NHS contract and Peter Mandelson's role in facilitating it. Mandelson — now UK Ambassador to the US, recently named in Epstein files — ran Global Counsel, which had Palantir as a client, hosted NHS data chief Ming Tang at a dinner in 2023, nine months before Palantir won the NHS contract. Democracy or Corporate Sovereignty? Palantir has 34 contracts with key UK public institutions. The head of the UK branch is Louis Mosley, grandson of British fascist Oswald Mosley. What I don't see reported in the MSM is that US CEO Peter Thiel is a proponent of free zones and free cities. Palantir is hollowing out UK and US democracy under a right-wing corporate political template. None of this is conspiracy. It's public record. Most of it is just very hard to see because FOI requests keep getting refused. The 2015 Brexit contract is where this story starts. I intend to keep pulling on it. europeanpowell.substack.com/p/the-digital-…

Call to action…Veterans, Fire Fighters, Patriots. Bring awareness. Take action. @SenThomTillis @SenTedBuddNC @RepDeoborahRoss @TimSheehyMT @RealCandaceO @TCNetwork @NickJFuentes

the problem with educating people under capitalism is that they have a reactionary somatic reaction of shame when provided with contradicting information. discovering cognitive dissonance is perceived as humiliating instead of clarifying and coherence-making.

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts. Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir. This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop…
