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.

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.

Having a Scottish bank note refused in England is always so annoying, but doubly so on St Andrew's Day!

I made a #cake for my in-laws' 60th wedding anniversary. Lemon and elderflower with cream cheese icing, fresh flowers from their garden and dried thistles heather from my mother's day gift from my kids. Turned out ok I think!
