Could it be that Sinn Fein are actually too British to run Ireland? irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…
Well done to the Association of Guardian ad litems of Ireland for taking their powerful message to Oireachtas members today on how the voice of vulnerable children is set to be unlawfully undermined by @NormaFoleyTD1 and her department. We forget that we amended our constitution to give children their independent voice and this is being fatally diluted. There is a narrow opportunity left for government to sort this out to avoid an avalanche of High court challenges to address this total mess. Sort it out @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealAMartin @SimonHarrisTD @OCallaghanJim @ivanabacik @MaryLouMcDonald @ClaireKerrane @barrymward @DMitchellTD @cardagh @Aidan_Farrelly_ @WhitmoreJen @jackfchambers
Ever heard of Palantir? Here's why it matters: Palantir is a US software company. It specialises in data products, used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes. In January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.” Palantir has a deep relationship with US law enforcement. It supplies ICE with tools that can be used for surveillance and targeting of migrants in the US. Now, that same company is working at the heart of the UK National Health Service. Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England. Health workers and patients have been ringing the alarm for years: this is not right. What’s happening in Gaza is an ongoing genocide. We shouldn’t have a company linked to human rights abuses have anything to do with the health of patients in the UK and the public health system.
