🚨 Manchester people! TOMORROW, the Council will vote on a motion saying #NoPalantirInTheNHS. Both Manchester-based NHS Trusts currently use Palantir's Federated Data Platform (FDP). Let's ensure that changes. Ask your Councillor to back the motion 👇 www.emailyourmp.com/palantir.htm

GP practices are cutting ties with the NHS Federated Data Platform built by Palantir, the US firm arming ICE with patient health data. Sharing patient data with immigration enforcement keeps sick people from doctors. Palantir poisons the whole system. Good on them for drawing the line.

This is what banning people from work means. Skilled, talented people with so much to share feeling like they've lost a part of themselves. It's time to lift the ban, and let people work.
Quote reads: “I have the skills and experience to contribute to society, but I cannot use them. It makes me feel empty and worthless at times, like I’ve lost a part of myself. 
I’ve been doing everything I can to stay positive... I want to be ready to work as soon as I can.”

What does this 'relentless' approach look like? More criminalisation. People fleeing conflict locked out and locked up, despite it being impossible to submit an asylum claim from outside the UK. He does go on to endorse safe routes. But that's lost in the wider framing of refugees as a problem.

Burnham is a rebranding exercise, not an ideological or policy shift. Why do you think his speeches are packed with references to drinking pints, watching football and listening to Oasis? To convince the UK public (or at least a patronising, caricatured view of them) that he's a man of the people.

The bill effectively ends refugee status in the UK, replacing it with a weaker form of time-limited protection. It also creates a 10k financial penalty for seeking safety, and rips up the right to family life. If it passes, any hope of Burnham being more progressive is already over.

Burnham's response will be such an important barometer for his tenure. If he truly stands for 'stronger public control', then surely that LAST thing he'd want is to surrender control over NHS drug pricing to US big pharma. Protect our health service, or be bullied by Trump. That's the choice.

So a £10k refugee tax isn't enough according to The Telegraph. Which begs the question: what would be? £100k? £1 million? Let's be clear: these proposals BILL refugees for having the misfortune of fleeing persecution.

Imagine. You spend years navigating destitution, discrimination and squalid accommodation, and then finally gain refugee status and employment. Only to be billed for those years of hardship; punished for a life you had no say in. A tax on the misfortune of being forced to flee.
