I think she would be great - @GreenPartyHan comes across as so natural. She’d be a breath of fresh air down at that there Westminster

A reminder, one day ahead of a by-election in which the Greens are favourites to defeat Reform, that the Daily Mail owner's wife recently donated £50,000 to Nigel Farage's party

What I read this week More dispatches from the K-shaped recovery...

Boomers grew rich as their economies were financialised, turning them into 'mini capitalists' who cared more about asset prices than wages.

But the financial boom that made them wealthy was a one-off - and the next generation will never catch up.

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.

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.

Green GAIN from Labour.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

What’s wrong with this statement?

Labour minister falsely linked journalists to ‘pro-Kremlin’ network in emails to GCHQ Exclusive: Josh Simons pressed intelligence officials to investigate reporters, in emails described as ‘McCarthyite smear’

Utterly chilling insight into how Keir Starmer's team has been operating from the beginning. As others have been pointing out for years, the Labour Party and the country have been taken for a ride. There was a coup within the party, using a host of dirty tricks.

The Purge That Devoured Its Architects The same shameless tactics that Starmer used to purge the left are now destroying his project from within.

The departure of Morgan McSweeney exposes Starmerism for what it is: a political project built on deception, created by people guided only by an insatiable desire for power, and a belief in their own invulnerability.

Zack Polanski pressures Wes Streeting over Palantir after Mandelson texts released ZACK Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantir’s NHS contracts after the Health Secretary’s newly-released text messages…

A £240m defence contract without tender.

Their fingerprints all over our health care data.

A meeting in the USA but without any minutes.

Everything around Palantir stinks.

www.thenational.scot/news/2584192...

Excellent work by Reform at Kent Council, who made a £40m saving by briefly proposing to spend £40m on something then deciding not to. Using this model, every Reform council can save £billions!

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

💥 GOOD.

Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…

…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…

…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

Stinks.

Scrap Palantir UK contracts over Mandelson links, Zack Polanski demands ZACK Polanski has demanded that the UK Government scraps its contracts with Palantir, amid mounting questions over Peter Mandelson’s role in…

Get Palantir out of the UK.

Protect our NHS.

Protect our country.

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson has been reported to the police over the latest Epstein revelations

The SNP said serious allegations are now emerging that sensitive, state information that may have been passing between Mandelson and Epstein

Headline form independent September 12th 2025 highlighting Peter Mandelson failed security service vetting

For those that can’t remember tiny bits of news from September 2025:

Lord Mandelson failed security services vetting & agency officials went on the record saying Mandelson was a bad idea.

This was ignored by UK Gov/PM.

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.

A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

House of Lords should strip Mandelson of peerage, says Starmer PM believes ex-Labour minister should not be member of House of Lords or use title, No 10 spokesperson says

House of Lords should strip Mandelson of peerage, says Starmer.

That alone won't do. Mandelson leaked sensitive govt info. How many times did he do so? Who benefited from the leaks?

Mandelson advised Starmer. Starmer made him US ambassador. What did Starmer know?

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035 Campaigners pushing for 2030 deadline said deferral was ‘denying renters the most basic standards in our homes’

WHY is this government content to leave private renters stuck in homes not fit for habitation for another DECADE?

The state of private rented homes is appalling. Renters deserve better than this disappointment from Labour.

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Beware.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

Renee Nicole Good. Alex Pretti. We saw videos of them being murdered with our own eyes, yet the Trump administration would have us believe they were ‘domestic terrorists’. Nothing they say can be believed.

Just want to point out Richard Nixon got impeached for bugging a hotel room.

Donald Trump is literally sending his private army out to murder US citizens.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."
