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 to surveil and target migrants in the US. Now, that same company is working at the heart of our NHS. Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England. Healthworkers 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 our precious NHS. Learn more: amnesty.org.uk/issues/interna…

The far-right’s reaction to criticism of Nick Timothy's comments shows that they are experts at playing victim to evade scrutiny and manufacture outrage. If you argue that one group of people should be excluded from the right to free speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of belief: don’t start whining when people hold you to account for your bigotry and hypocrisy.

Tomorrow, UKIP are set to march in Liverpool. There is no place in our city for their scapegoating. Love is greater than hate. Unity is stronger than division and racism. Hope is more powerful than fear. We are Liverpool – a city of hope, not hate. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I voted against proposals to increase student tuition fees this week. Instead of piling more and more debt onto young people, we should scrap these fees altogether, write off student debt, and fund higher education through general taxation.

This is really important. Last year the conference of the NEU, the 500k strong teachers / school workers' union, voted by a big margin for a strong UA solidarity position. This year this amendment has been submitted to a motion on "welfare not warfare" / opposing militarism 🧵

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. This is what happens when racism is normalised from the top: democratically elected representatives being told that we shouldn't be allowed to make decisions here at all, and even that we should leave the country. It’s a racist attack on our very democracy. Will Nick and his party condemn it?

I've signed this statement calling for a reset in Labour to protect our values and future. We must restore democracy & move away from the current top-down approach. The NEC elections provide the perfect opportunity to do just that. Read our statement: resetlabour.co.uk
