The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?

Good thread by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on Palantir in NHS. Read also my newsletter from yesterday which reveals head of Palantir UK in middle of UK-US trade deal talks…of which we still don’t know the details.

Why not??

The next general election may not be until 2029.

But we could be only days or weeks away from Labour making a catastrophic mistake that will guarantee a loss.

If they reach a deal with the USA that precludes us ever getting truly close to the EU again, let alone rejoining, then it's "Game Over".

The boys are back in town: reflections on the psychology of Trumpworld How did a cluster of toxic, binary attitudes get from the heads of small boys and Silicon Valley into the heart of Trump’s administration?

This article explores the toxic nature of the macho culture and broligarchy at the reigns of power in the US.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

'Potential whitewashing': COVID inquiry criticised after saying it won't hear from PPE suppliers Bereaved families accuse the inquiry of "protecting" PPE suppliers from public scrutiny but a spokesperson for the probe tells Sky News there is no need for them to give evidence to ensure a "thorough...

Given the volume of material we hold (and the independent notifications I received from civil servants that the Cabinet Office had instructed them to destroy records*) I am shocked we have not been contacted by the Covid Inquiry and I am assuming it will be a whitewash. news.sky.com/story/potent...

Left: Daily Mail reports that with the help of Elon Musk, Demonic Cummings is 'in a plot to sabotage UK politics"

Right: Cummings laughed when he admitted to Laura Kuenssberg that Vote Leave misled with the £350 million for the NHS on the side of the bus

From the CWS Archive. July 2020.

The removal of Agricultural Property Relief, a tax break considered sacrosanct by landowners since the 1980s & before? (Oh wait, that’s happening too)

I’d certainly like many more fundamental changes, but the commentariat’s refusal to assess Labour’s actual policy changes is ridiculous.

I see, so you’ve now moved the goalposts from ‘raft of changes’ to ‘fundamental change’. What would be fundamental change to you? The biggest reorganisation of local govt since the 1970s? (In train). Assisted dying? (Legislation progressing). Big changes to land value capture in planning? (On way)

A very useful read right now.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.

Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?

Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.

Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

Don't repost this Jeff Bezos refused to publish it.

But we can make sure it spreads and everyone sees it.
