Mic drop moment at our event on the sidelines of #labconf26 in Liverpool, when @labourlewis.bsky.social revealed a letter from Tom Watson showing Palantir has tracked his mentioning them nearly 130 times. Is there anything Palantir doesn’t want to know about us?

1/2 Climate breakdown is a class issue. When heatwaves hit, it’s working people who are expected to keep working through dangerous temperatures, often without clearly defined protections and rights.

Reform's recent huge donations from tech billionaires make one thing crystal clear: despite their populist rhetoric, their true loyalty lies with ultra-wealthy elites rather than working-class Britons. They have proven once again whose interests they really serve. And they certainly aren’t ours.

1/2 This summer, Reform-led Kent County Council voted to include Oaken Wood in its minerals plan. If approved, at least 41 hectares of this ancient woodland would be destroyed, making it the largest loss of ancient woodland in England this century.

Was great to speak at the launch of Labour Defence and Security Network last week. I spoke about the need for a defence strategy built on true consent, democratic agency, and public control of essentials. We can't keep substituting debates about % of GDP for a real discussion on national security.

Yesterday was an absolute whirlwind. We finally saw a record number of MPs step up and support public ownership of water, something I’ve spent years fighting for. To top it off, I got to chat with Becky Hill who came to show her support, look me in the eye, and say, “This is the Hill I’ll die on.”

I'll bet you these projects will never see a large chunk of that money. We pay for the system through our bills. Yet almost 1/3 of them go to returns for investors and creditors. We pay for the infrastructure, for the debt, for the profits. And they keep asking for more. We need public ownership.

Meta ordered to pay $537m after a jury found they knowingly harmed children's mental health. The harms of social media aren't a bug. They're a feature. A blanket ban won't fix a business model built around addiction and surveillance. To protect young people, we need to take on Big Tech directly.

1/3 The dangers of the NHS's £330m contract with Palantir are well known. A subscription-based contract that leaves the NHS without meaningful ownership. Lock-in to a single supplier that risks future price gouging. Critical health infrastructure dependent on a shady spy-tech company.

Norwich is drying out while water bosses cash in. Anglian Water’s CEO banked a £500k "retention payment" - a loophole round the bonus ban - just as East Anglia was declared in drought. They'll keep filling their pockets as our reservoirs empty until we get public ownership.

1/2 The Financial Conduct Authority's proof-of-concept deal with Palantir moves us in the wrong direction. A company facing allegations of human rights abuses and associated with significant data privacy and national security concerns should not be gaining a greater foothold in our public sector.

Private rents are part of the cost of living crisis. For some people, rent accounts for 50% of their income. As long as we don’t have enough affordable housing, rent controls should be seriously considered as a solution.
