NEW Is Palantir in your pension? Investigation reveals size of investment by UK organisations – including some of Britain’s biggest retirement providers – in Silicon Valley’s most controversial technology company. @carolecadwalla and @tuckerian report 1/11🧵

If you want Baroness Michelle Mone removed from the House of Lords and to repay the £136,000,000 owed to taxpayers, please RT!

The US spy-tech firm has inserted itself into the Ministry of Defence, the police and our health service – we’re already paying the price, says our tech & data lead Duncan McCann: goodlaw.social/gduq

I am an ex-Palantir executive, and it is factually correct that @PalantirTech intended to take over the US government while heavily funding the effort. Many of my ex-colleagues are now installed inside the USG apparatus. There is a reason the C-suite of $PLTR has me blocked. The enemy is within, and we are currently an occupied nation. 🇺🇸 We basically have a terrorist entity deeply embedding itself into the USG.

Absolutely bonkers that this company is still being allowed to operate at the heart of MOD

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve_news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses. Hugely important by @CharlieNotOld

@trello why no support (still) for apple passkeys in your desktop app?

The reason why Venezuela is under attack U.S. Southern Command chief General Laura Richardson just said the truth out loud: the U.S. focus in Latin America isn’t “democracy” — it’s controlling oil, lithium, gold, and rare earth minerals. Venezuela, with the largest oil reserves and key strategic resources, is the main target

@kajakallas This is hand-wringing of the highest order.

I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela. The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. Under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We call for restraint. The safety of EU citizens in the country is our top priority.

It's unclear as to why the media is using the word 'capture' in relation to Maduro. He's not a wild animal. Surely abduction or kidnapping is more appropriate.

@AlfieHouseEcho Tactical change also. Soak up the pressure from the home side in the first half then a full throttle Scienza in the second could be devastating.

Fitness will obviously be given as the reason for Leo Scienza’s benching but I think it’s strange in any case. What match is more important to save him for than tonight? Need results. Hopefully it pays off and they produce without him, or he makes a big impact late on. #SaintsFC

#PostOfficeScandal Tonight on @Channel4News with @JackieLongc4 there was an exclusive report by @alextomo & @NanettevdLaan that revealed for the first time a secret contract between @PostOffice and @fujitsu_uk For years, the Post Office and Fujitsu covered up the bugs in their faulty Horizon computer software, blaming the subpostmasters using it. Thousands had their lives ruined. Some took their own lives. Now Channel 4 News has obtained a 2006 contract between the two companies – overlooked despite being uploaded to the Post Office Inquiry’s website – which a forensic accountant who investigated the Horizon scandal has described as “dynamite”. Featuring @TracyF882 @CastletonLee @WarmingtonRjw @liambyrnemp The fact Post Office denied remote access was possible until days before the High Court 2nd trial in 2019 when there was a contract that was signed in 2006, shows just how far they were prepared to go to keep this document out of the public domain. For it to come to light almost 20 years after it was first signed is a disgrace. It was not disclosed to the @PostOffInquiry so that witnesses could be cross examined on it. Now it will be up to @CommonsBTC and its Chair @liambyrnemp to uncover who knew what and when, why it wasn’t disclosed and when Fujitsu are going to start contributing to the colossal financial redress bill estimated to be £1.6 billion. At the moment it is all being carried by the taxpayer. channel4.com/news/post-offi…

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from @Stephen_Cushion. enhancingimpartiality.com/blog/broadcast…

@DanNeidle Yeah, don’t give up the day job Dan. This stuff is way above your pay grade.

I'd love to see a Budget like this:

@DanNeidle I think this is problem with a lot of “Right” tax advocacy.

It’s a general problem with a lot of “Left” tax advocacy. Thinking that the problem is real, the motive is good, and therefore the solution is correct. But that misses a step: what will the consequences be? I've written about this: taxpolicy.org.uk/2023/05/05/lef…

This post went viral but I fear many people saw the video and missed the point I was making. The video is funny and compelling but makes a bad error. It ignores incentives. The policy proposed would likely *increase* private jet emissions.

@NafeezAhmed We know by now that most of the things Musk and Trump say are bollocks. What I don't understand is why people continue to listen to them?

Has this fantasist ever even been to a village in England?

We've already paid for desperately needed investment in our water system through our bills. But - somehow - that money disappeared into the pockets of private shareholders. 🧐 Ofwat's response? They want us to pay for it all over again 😡 Thank you @RiverActionUK for taking a stand against the privatised water scam. Another nail in the coffin for privatised water - bring water into public ownership now, and end the profit drain in our water system. vist.ly/4ctv8
