β€œThey killed 181 little angels… Are they really the imminent threat to the United States?” Iran’s Dep. For. Min. Esmail Baghaei asked, referring to the US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran that killed mostly girls aged 7-12.

β€œThe American people deserve to know what...

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Hi, not your fault if you didn’t vote for Trump. He is certainly having a detrimental effect on the rest of the world by spreading toxic, divisive politics. And now leading an illegal war with no end plan. As well as loss of life, the environmental cost is huge. Get rid of him, please.

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.

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

The Green Party has selected Caroline Whiley as its candidate for the upcoming Rushden Town Council by-election for Rushden South ward. Caroline has lived in Northamptonshire for nearly 20 years and in Rushden since 2013. She knows the town from the terraces to the high street. πŸ’š

DISGRACEFUL.

They broke his arm for saying it.

Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say we don’t want another war in the Middle East.

Security dragged him out. His arm was broken.

The video shows it.

Veterans are speaking out.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Imagine if Iran had sunk a US Ship in open water not causing any threat, how would it be portrayed?

Terrorism

Now think the terrorist regime of Iran has less than 1/10th the number of people in prison as the US does.

US is only not a terrorist because you aren't told they are

Week 69 is the longest list so far. With the storylines that were developing, almost all bad for Trump, it was easy to see why he might want to divert attention elsewhere. Catch up on all the stories you need to know about!

We agree with Daisy Cooper MP: in the face of increasing global threats, we must focus on building ties with the reliable allies on our doorstep, Europe. Rejoining key European security programmes would ensure that the UK is once again involved in shaping Europe's security agenda.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis.

It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.

Spain is leading the way declaring.

NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Great comments on here, entertaining and informative! As I get older I feel my pagan Celtic roots more…no hatred, just enjoyment in simple things; watching the seasons change, Morris dancing, looking for fairies with my granddaughters and doing witchy stuff around Halloween!
