So Palantir buying a Labour Lord was good value for their money after all.
Cash for access. Stinks.
Palantir’s Tom Watson, ex-Labour MP, wrote to Yvette Cooper last month saying the controversial US company could help boost the UK’s tech sovereignty, letters show. Weeks later, sources say the UK is extending its NHS contract for two more years

Labour members are urging the Government to take decisive action against Israel by:
✅ recognising the genocide in Gaza
✅ imposing wider sanctions on Israel
✅ ending all arms sales
✅ supporting an immediate and lasting ceasefire

I am in a long line of antizionist Jews who political opponents try to make people hate.
But I wont be quiet, not on criticism of Israel, nor on tackling the extreme wealth and poverty pay that both the Tories and now Labour have overseen in office.
🇬🇧 “Is it now the Labour position that a genocide is not racist?”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski confronted Conservative and Labour politicians at the London Assembly on Thursday after Conservative Susan Hall introduced a motion condemning the Greens’ decision to define Zionism as racism.
Hall called the Green Party’s position “abhorrent” and argued it threatened Jewish Londoners.
Polanski, who is Jewish, accused Hall of weaponizing antisemitism and challenged Labour members over their government’s continued military support for Israel amid the genocide in Gaza.
The Assembly passed Hall’s motion 19–3, with just the three Green members voting against it.

Palantir have paid huge sums to former Labour ministers to lobby for this.
The NHS sees no convincing patient benefit.
Like the US told Trump this week, we're done with big tech corporations taking over our democracy and public assets.
Labour won't stand up to them. We will.
ALT Palantir to keep NHS deal for fear of patient disruption

Proscribing Palestine Action was a dreadful mistake. It has wasted police time, energy, opportunities and taxpayers' money.
Not to mention all the innocent peaceful protesters who have experienced unpleasant treatment by the police.
Time to unproscribe PalAct @andyburnham
A grave misuse of anti-terrorism powers
Today, the Supreme Court begins a landmark 2-day hearing on the Home Office's 2025 decision to outlaw the protest group Palestine Action.

Quite revealing that Labour will work happily with the Tories or even Reform but are determined to turn Green Party opposition to a genocide into a local political football.
Andy Burnham. Keir Starmer. The Labour Party still feels very Peter Mandleson.

🟢 EXCL: Understand Green cllrs on Havant Council have submitted a motion of no confidence in the Labour leader after Labour pulled out of the power sharing deal over the ZIR motion. The Havant Greens had said they recognised problematic elements of the motion but denied it was anti semitic and said they could not ask the party leadership to reject it as it was voted for democratically by members.
Havant was ran by a “rainbow coalition” of Labour, Greens & LDs.
Current make up of HBC:
Reform - 9
Labour - 7
Conservative- 5
LD - 5
Greens - 5
Independent- 4
Plus one seat vacant due to by elex

Fact check: Labour are arming a genocide.
Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband offer apologies over Gaza - but continue to arm a genocide.
Labour call those who oppose the genocide - even those of us who are Jewish - antisemitic.
More and more people see through this absolute charade.

This all feels very much Starmers Labour Government 2.0.
An extraordinary attack on free speech from Andy Burnham.

Years of campaigning to get information from B&NES Planning on the impact on transport, retail and ecology in east Bath. So many helped with objections. Thanks to all! People still need help with the cost of living and cheaper food and we recognise that. #Lidl #GreenParty #BathUK

Keir Starmer has been gone for two months now.
Why is his ridiculous attack on free speech and peaceful protest still in place?
Labour. Different singer. Same old tired song.
BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @andyburnham’s Labour Party conference.
UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns.

I, Kevin Rowland (the son of Irish immigrants) and the main songwriter of ‘Come On Eileen,’ am disgusted to learn that Nigel Farage has used our song to make his entrance for his party conference. Myself, and all of Dexys are passionately against Farage’s politics.

The lady that was physically assaulted at @reformparty_uk conference talks about the brutal assault (it is now a police matter)
She says its by far the worst assault she's ever experienced.
She was repeatedly asking for them to stop but they wouldn't listen.

“It worked, boom.”
That’s Nigel Farage celebrating a Reform UK plot to break election law - by having a US company secretly pay for three influential political polls that benefitted the party.
Earlier in the investigation, Reform’s Head of Policy James Orr and senior advisor Dan Jukes arranged for a Verbatim reporter to pay for the polls through a US company. Orr and Jukes believed the firm was run by the reporter’s American father.
Mr Farage was filmed by undercover reporters from @Verbatim_Media as part of a year-long investigation that Channel 4 News has thoroughly checked and verified.
This meeting took place in his Clacton constituency in July - when Mr Farage was fighting a by-election he called after separate allegations about his finances.
Watch the full investigation on YouTube.
