In Albert Square for the People vs Palantir Day of Action ✊ Our Campaigner @cameronboyle95.bsky.social drew the links between Palantir and the Hostile Environment: Both are “hostile forces that violate the right to health, violate health and data sovereignty and facilitate state violence.”

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.

The UK government is making upwards of £4.9bn in profit from visa fees, citizenship fees & the immigration health surcharge. Meanwhile, people are getting into thousands of pounds of debt or going without food just to afford to these immigration fees. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

The government is under pressure. There’s still time to stop “earned settlement”. Write to your MP today to ask them to speak up for our communities. To find out how to use this digital postcard or write to your MP another way, read our blog: gmiau.org/write-to-you...
Digital postcard side 1 reads
There's still time to stop "earned settlement". Will you stand up for your community?Digital postcard side 2 with space for someone to edit their MPs name, their own name and address, and write a message.
Text reads 
"Dear (MP)
The Home Secretary’s earned settlement plans risk locking millions of people into years of insecurity and hardship. They penalise the most vulnerable members of our communities and have the potential to create a workforce crisis in social care and the NHS. They will also harm integration and fuel divisiveness. As your constituent, I want to tell you about my concerns. 
(blank space)
Will you write to the Home Secretary and ask her to stop earned settlement and instead focus on policies that will make our communities stronger?

🚨The UK-US pharma deal with Trump will cost 229,000 lives in England. The deal is so bad that the editor of the British Medical Journal says it suggests "We’ll kill our poor people to make your rich companies richer”. Dear Andy Burnham, tear up this deal as Prime Minister. Thank you.

Great to see a mention of our and @justtreatment.org's work in Parliament as MPs called for gov to come clean on the true costs of the US-UK medicines deal. This deal with Trump could cost BILLIONS, and hundreds of thousands of lives - yet has not been subject to a democratic vote.
