The Epstein files expose the networks behind the same far-right playbook. Dr Ellie Chowns MP says it’s time for a full inquiry 👇

The Epstein files shed light on a huge network of political, financial and corporate relationships, including - you guessed it - Peter Thiel 👇

The Epstein files connect Peter Thiel, Palantir and Peter Mandelson - revealing how tightly extreme wealth, political authority and foreign influence intertwine 👉 citizensreunited.substack.com/p/palantir-p...

MPs are about to debate Russian interference in Britain’s democracy. We’ll be live on this thread with what matters 🧵

If the Mandelson-Epstein affair shows anything, it is how urgently Britain still needs a proper reckoning with Russian interference in its politics 👇 citizensreunited.substack.com/p/palantir-p...

Today MPs will debate Russian interference in our politics and democracy. This is why a full inquiry is still necessary 👉 citizensreunited.substack.com/p/britain-st...

Foreign interference distorts both the information people rely on and the level playing field democracy depends on. Tomorrow MPs will debate Russian interference in our democracy. This is why a full inquiry remains necessary. citizensreunited.substack.com/p/britain-st...

Public inquiries are one of the last mechanisms capable of dragging the truth out of institutions that would otherwise bury it. 🗣️ Tell your MP this debate matters: citizensreunited.substack.com/p/tell-your-...

For years, the UK has avoided one basic question: how have foreign powers, or bad actors, interfered with our democracy? This is how to make sure Parliament doesn’t look away again.

Brilliant to see this - Sergei Cristo back in London. This is Sergei from the @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @peterjukes.bsky.social game changing podcast Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring. From the start, Sergei did more than anyone else to try and expose Russian interference in UK politics.

So infuriated with Palantir you want to do something about it? Well here are The Citizens at your service within moments of The Nerve post. Almost as if the two organisations were connected in some way...

At a glance, Palantir sells software. In practice, it provides government with the infrastructure to monitor, investigate and target people at scale. Understand how we got here 👇 citizensreunited.substack.com/p/palantir-e...

“Trump’s anti-diversity, equity and inclusion executive orders form the foundation of his regime’s efforts to dismantle our democracy." Really important (and alarming) research @rlivier.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social

Today @rlivier.bsky.social @freepress.bsky.social releases new research showing that every major U.S. media and tech company (except one) has eliminated or backpedaled on commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion in the face of Trump administration threats. www.freepress.net/policy-libra...

Take action 👇 🧵 @adelewalton.bsky.social has renewed calls for a public inquiry into a pro-suicide website responsible for 133 UK victims lives.

Post 2 of an archive mini-thread, but this clarity punches. Palantir, the behemoth poised to mine the medical records of everyone in Britain and sell that data on to whoever they like because money. And no one will stop them. Will probably fleece that high value data back to the NHS at a premium.

“Protect the spaces where we are unobserved, unpredictable, and chaotically human.” Can we rethink our relationship with technology? Carissa (@carissaveliz.bsky.social) will make you want to try.
