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.

I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...

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.

This is the moment. The Gorton and Denton by-election is a battle for the soul of our country — community power versus billionaire backers, hate versus hope.
