I just signed Foxglove's petition to Andy Burnham: if you become our next PM, get Palantir out of our NHS. A secretive US spy tech firm with deep Trump ties has no business holding our health data. Add your name: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

Right now Palantir has a £330m contract to run our NHS health records, but this spy-tech firm shouldn't be anywhere near  our health service. Email your local hospital today and ask them to say no to Palantir goodlaw.social/668d1d

Say no to Palantir in the NHS
NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir - fight back

Musk: Denigrates the UK, allows harassment and humiliation of folk with Grok ‘nudifying’ uses X as a Political weapon, gets Trump to help him avoid tax. Funds Reform to bring about Political change in the UK. Is any decent person still a member of X?

Dear British Telecom, when renewing my broadband I asked you for your best price. That was still too high. 2x now the Retention Team has phoned and offered a lower cost and higher speed each time. Please understand what best price means. You have lost me to Fibrus. BT are desperate.

Is it ageism? I hold the highest level of civilian driving assessment/test (Gold level) I am an Advanced Driving Tutor. I have a clean driving licence and accident record. I am 75 years of age, medically fit. Even @RoSPA insurers want to drastically increase my renewal premium. Words fail me.

So, USA Tech Companies have pledged to invest in the UK. They do so knowing it is profitable; Trump is campaigning for them not to be taxed; what proportion of the tax not paid is calculated in their investment? Make England Poor Again.

Was the ‘trial run’ of England’s first Disney theme park successful? Turning Windsor Castle and grounds into Disney World for Trump.

Phang: The South Koreans are here to help build, to help train, to help get this thing up and running so 8,500 Americans can have jobs. But no — the Trump administration, the dumbasses with their heads so far up their asses when it comes to immigration, are just sitting there rounding people up…

If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome. If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

Badenoch is a spineless craven narcissist but her predecessors need to take so so much of the blame. They turned the Tories into a radical right-wing party. They purged the moderates and turned their party in a poor imitation of Farage. This is their mess.

Andy Burnham, "The country took a series of wrong turns in the 1980s" "It's left people in a situation where the essentials of life, water, homes, electricity, buses, rail, these are way expensive compared to everywhere else in Europe" "It's about fixing that and turning it around"

Should Parliament be able to vote on any trade deal negotiated with Trump? While abolishing tariffs would obviously be good, the UK must not sacrifice its high regulatory standards, give away too much to US corporations, or endanger the rebuilding of links with the EU.
