Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

A group of approximately 20 people of diverse ages and backgrounds pose indoors in a blue-walled room. Most are seated or standing while holding up black posters with colorful text that reads, "MARCH FOR LOVE. FOR UNITY. FOR HOPE. TOGETHER" and "LOVE IS BACK." The bottom of the posters mentions a march on Saturday, 28th March in Central London. The atmosphere is collaborative and organized, with pamphlets and bags visible on the tables in the foreground.

A large, dense crowd of protesters gathered in a public square in front of historic stone buildings under an overcast sky. Many individuals are wearing beanies and winter coats. The crowd is a sea of signs and flags; prominent light blue flags feature the "National Education Union" logo, while participants hold numerous black posters with the slogans "HOPE IS BACK" and "MARCH FOR LOVE. FOR UNITY. FOR HOPE. TOGETHER."

A large group of activists stands together in a high-ceilinged hall with brick arches and pillars. In the center, a large purple banner for the "TUC London, East & South East" is held high. Every person in the group is holding a sign, creating a wall of black posters with bold pink and white text reading "UNITY IS BACK" or the multi-colored "MARCH FOR LOVE" design. The setting appears to be a formal meeting or community space, with several people in the front row smiling at the camera.

No doctor today is worth less than they were 17 years ago.

That’s why we’re standing together for #PayRestoration for resident doctors in England.

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family β€” before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

WaPo cartoonist resigns after Post rejects her cartoon of billionaires paying tribute to Donald Trump, one of whom happens to be her boss, Jeff Bezos.

Satire has literally died.

Public service workers across the UK are working 365 days a year, seven days a week and 24 hours a day to keep us safe, healthy and warm. We just want to say a special 'thank you' to everyone working over Christmas and New Year.

Most NHS staff in England are British, but across the NHS there are over 200 different nationalities.

Today is International #MigrantsDay - a day to recognise the contribution migrant workers make to our health and social care system.
