It’s pretty nuts. Tom Watson’s very first intervention in his new job at spytech firm Palantir is to write a letter to his former colleague @labourlewis.bsky.social detailing all the times the firm has monitored his anti-Palantir activities

On Fairford a thought just crossed my mind about the 5 suspects. Mango Mussolini on Sunday said “We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.” Ex-fucking-scuse me?! Does that mean UK Nationals are subject to US surveillance? Or was he, as usual, lying through his cheap veneers?

The Fairford incident is dominating the news cycle - and the right-wing. Over the past 48 hours we’ve seen speculation, insinuation and implication attempt turn a serious story about security into one about immigration. This is a long one. Make some tea.
