Two weeks ago @zackpolanski.bsky.social went to Palantir's London HQ to tell the US spyware company to get the hell out of the NHS.
Zack has now written to Wes Streeting urging him to end Palantir's NHS contract, citing links between Mandelson, his lobbying firm, and Palantir.

A new report indicates that zero net migration would shrink the UK economy by 3.6% and likely force an increase in taxes, as well as being cruel, inhuman and impractical.
Migration is good for our country. Inequality is the problem. Tax the super-rich.
