The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.
Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
The original decision to proscribe Palestine Action was the most politically lunk-headed decision this moronically error prone government has taken and can only have been driven by external lobbying as opposed to cold political calculus. Govt should now admit defeat. Convince me I’m wrong!

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.
