It never should have been privatised, another utterly epic fail courtesy of the neo liberal f'ing mind virus. #AtlasAreCancer

It was pretty clear that when it came to data centres, voluntary “national expectations” weren't going to cut it. Good to see energy ministers looking at rules to require data centres to fully offset their power usage. With the speed & scale of data centre construction underway, this is urgent & something I’ll keep pushing for. afr.com/policy/energy-…

The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, set the war objective of breaking up Russia into many smaller states. This radical was selected for war by ending all diplomacy and fighting to the last Ukrainian.

Shame on Reuters and every Western media outlet whitewashing Israeli war crimes in real time.

This is white phosphorus. Israel is raining white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in South Lebanon. Call it what it is: A WAR CRIME.

Palantir is embedded deep in the NHS. The US spytech firm provides military technology to Israel while it carries out a genocide in Gaza and facilitates immigration enforcement by ICE under the Trump administration – so why was it given a £330m patient data contract with the NHS? NHS staff, unions, human rights organisations and patient advocacy groups have all spoken out against the Palantir contract, citing ethics, privacy and data safety concerns, and warning that it could irreparably damage patient trust in the health service. @harriepw explains.

Settler violence against West Bank Palestinians is raging out of control. This report is of a schoolboy shot in cold blood. Many are being killed and homes, crops, orchards & infrastructure are destroyed as settlers try to drive people off their land. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…
