NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

See, for example, R v R [1991] UKHL 12 (Marital Rape Exception); R (Nicklinson) v Ministry of Justice [2014] UKSC 38 (Assisted Suicide); Hall v Simons [2000] UKHL 19 (Advocates' Immunity) and many more.

100%.

Sometimes the judge may pass a negative judgement on a case but in the summation comment that the law on the point in question is not fair and needs revision. That’s a very powerful tool in the fight.

Use every tool that gains sufficient attention. It’s why the far right use bots.

Bruce rightly defines these rich and powerful as parasites.

So trying to hold these people accountable isn’t an abuse of process. It’s trying to raise attention to the need to hold them to account in the law.

Read “liars and outliers” by security expert Bruce Schneier. The press is powerful, which is why billionaires (particularly ones that don’t live in the country) want to own it - it can help them avoid accountability and influence opinion.

Like regulating anything. The executive branch proposes regulation, the legislature debate and pass it, and the judiciary enforce it. We have OFCOM, OFGEM, OFWAT, OFRAIL - all of which have been the victim of regulatory capture by capitalist and foreign interests. That’s what needs to be dealt with.

That needs to be changed. If the MSM are an essential part of a democracy (the 4th pillar) then they need to be regulated as part of the democracy to ensure no corruption and to ensure accountability, transparency, and an informed citizenry.

Fines for UK financial crime nosedive to ‘pitiful’ lows Penalties from the FCA drop by 78% in five years as it prepares to take on a new role as 'super-regulator'

strikes me that one of the most obvious things this government should do is properly resource regulators. There’s a gigantic gap between law and its enforcement, yet politicians always focus on announcing new rules rather than applying the old ones www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”.

Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US...

But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable”

Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

As Democracy Volunteers are the source of the claim of "Family Voting" in the Gorton & Denton by election, I got curious about their claims and thanks to @joenoonan.bsky.social I came across this claim about "Family Voting" during the 2020 Irish General Election.

A brief 🧵

A full house for the debate in Westminster Hall today on the Impact of the 2016 EU Membership Referendum on the UK, as a result of over 11,000 of you writing to your MP to urge them to attend. Stephen Gethins MP has started the debate with a strong opening speech.

Andrew 'had 40 sex workers brought to five-star hotel' in just four days Andrew Mountbatten Windsor had 40 prostitutes brought to him over four days on a taxpayer-funded trip to Thailand, a historian has shockingly claimed
