Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services arenโ€™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.

Honestly, this podcast gets more staggering every week. She stole from her employer. She emptied her in-laws bank account. She emptied her own mother's bank account. And STILL Penguin are going to publish another book by her. Why????

Yes indeed, all tired looking people should be rounded up and made to go to bed, so Nadhim can stay on the pavement.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill wonโ€™t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

Itโ€™s time we started taking Trumpโ€™s threats seriously.

God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

The facts seem pretty clear - The USA has bombed Venezuela and kidnapped their President. Anything else you need to know Keir?

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.

After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the โ€œspecial relationshipโ€, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

Trump is coming after our BBC. Heโ€™s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies heโ€™s telling about it.

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.
