Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Palantir is worming its way into the British state – it’s time to curb this controversial US company’s influence | George Monbiot
Tom Watson has said ‘mob rule’ must not decide public contracts. Perhaps he should take a look at his new employer, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Not a British hillfort, part lll (but still Iron Age!) The fortified palace of Toprak-Kala, built by the Kwarezm kingdom in the 1st/2nd century CE. It contained Hellenistic reliefs and frescoes. Now part of the Fifty Forts region of Uzbekistan. 📸 intrepid daughter #HillfortsWednesday

Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.

It's not just the endless bill increases. It's not just that 1/3 of your bill goes to paying shareholder dividends and servicing debt. It's not just the 1/2 million sewage discharges in one year. It's the corrupt system, which rewards water bosses for failure, that people can't stand.

A very stylish #Roman woman's shoe with a decorative pattern punched into the leather. Found in 1907 in a well in the civilian settlement of the Saalburg fort, dating first half of the 2nd century AD. Photo: Römerkastell Saalburg
The picture shows a single leather shoe with a decorative pattern of holes of different sizes and shapes (e.g circles, triangles).

These are two examples of the 30 existing Ain Ghazal sculptures. Discovered in Jordan, they are c.9,000 years old & are the first known example of large scale production of human forms. They are made of lime plaster & reed making their survival all the more remarkable 🏛️📷Amman Museum (L), Louvre (R)

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Predators do not need universal male approval. They need enough people nearby who will give them access, silence, excuses, or the benefit of a doubt that somehow never reaches the woman.
