Palantir’s co-founder is upset with this important reporting from @nytimes@NickKristof which is one more reason why you should definitely read it

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Today, the UK Right To Food Commission has written to the Prime Minister raising urgent concerns over rising food insecurity, increasing food inflation and reports of potential dynamic pricing for food in supermarkets. With 14 million people across the UK already living with food insecurity, we are calling for immediate action to protect families struggling to afford basic essentials. Our message is clear: * Food is a human right, not a luxury. * Dynamic pricing for food must never be introduced. * Household incomes must rise for those most at risk. * Support for community food hubs and grassroots organisations must be strengthened. * Excessive profiteering while families go hungry cannot continue. The evidence gathered by the Commission across Liverpool, Newcastle, Aberdare, Cardiff and Belfast shows that food insecurity is driving health inequalities, damaging life opportunities and deepening poverty in communities across the country. We urge the Government to act now. #RightToFood

E.ON to buy Ovo to create biggest UK energy supplier. Fewer suppliers means less choice, higher prices. More profits going abroad. Replace energy retailers with not-for-profit organisations, no shareholders, lower prices. Even better, nationalise energy theguardian.com/business/2026/…

The state pension is not a random government favour, it’s the back end of a 35–40 year compulsory “contract” where people are forced to hand over National Insurance on the clear promise of a basic pension at the end. Politicians and think tanks helped design an unfunded, pay‑as‑you‑go system where today’s workers pay today’s pensioners, then have the gall to call it “unsustainable” as if the public dreamt it up. If a private firm sold you a retirement product on fixed terms, took your money for four decades, then announced at 66 that you “didn’t really need it” and would henceforth be means‑tested or frozen, they would be in court for mis‑selling and fraud. The crisis here is not pensioners “leeching off the young”, it’s a political class that built a Ponzi‑style NI system, diverted the proceeds for other spending, and now wants to default on the people who kept their side of the bargain. You do not blame the victims of a defective product for believing the brochure; you go after the people who wrote it.

LBC exposes a massive corruption scandal. Nigel Farage accepted a staggering 12 million donation from a foreign Thai crypto billionaire. Reform UK suddenly adopted extremely pro-crypto policies right after receiving the cash. British politicians are literally bought and sold.

In September 2024 Nigel Farage said he couldn't do in-person surgeries in Clacton because of safety concerns But in April 2026, Nigel Farage claimed that his £5 million donation in Spring 2024 from Christopher Harborne was for his security Why did Nigel Farage take a £5 million gift for security then not use it for his security so he could run in-person surgeries like MPs are meant to?

Nigel Farage didn't turn up folks. Knew his story wouldn't stack up over the £5million gift he received. Knew he would be exposed nationally as the fraud he is and couldn't risk losing votes before May 7th Guess who did turn up? @ZackPolanski

This man is on his way out of office. With McSweeney and Mandelson gone, there’s no-one left to protect him from his own cabinet. But Keir Starmer doesn’t want you to know about his connections to the Israel Lobby. These are the individuals paying for his obedience:🧵

When you’re having a moment so ball clenchingly excruciating that you’d swap places with Russell Brand on Piers Morgan Uncensored in a heartbeat Robert Jenrick back in 2024 desperately trying not to admit that he set a fake company up to self donate

Why are dozens of NHS Trusts refusing to name the private companies they’re paying to treat patients? 🚩 Our current investigation into insourcing has hit a wall of "commercial confidentiality." We’re fighting back to show you where your money is going. We aren’t backing down.

Here's Richard Tice saying if Angela Rayner had any integrity or moral decency she would resign for underpaying stamp duty by £40k. I'm sure he will soon be making a statement calling for his own resignation after he failed to pay £100k and £91k in tax.

So long as it does not increase inflation, UK Government CAN and SHOULD borrow from the Bank of England at 0% interest ,and spend that money directly on improving UK infrastructure, and bringing essential services into OUR ownership. UK benefit NOT private profit!!

Today Wes Streeting overruled NICE so he personally buys medication for the entire NHS He did this so he can give an extra £6.4bn a year to the USA for nothing Paying Doctors an extra £0.6bn a year is too expensive But 10x as much for Donald Trump is done without question
