The UK needs data sovereignty. Palantir should not be shaping the future of the NHS. When doctors and @unison.org.uk raise concerns, government must listen. We need to cut this relationship and build a system based on ethics, values, transparency and data sovereignty.

This week I’ve been challenging the Govt’s sinister attempts to abolish the right to choose a jury trial. Here is the Minister confirming that the right to elect a jury trial IS being completely abolished with this Bill! A fundamental cornerstone of our justice system established in 1670: gone.

Amen to that

Fortunate with a roof over your head, food in your belly, fuel in your tank and far from the killing fields? Privileged to afford a sweet sound system? Rest and breathe with this a while. Appreciate your distance from the nightmares in this world. Sleep well and be awake when your eyes are open.

Rugby is rapidly becoming my favourite thing about women in sport 🔥

I was in a deep relationship with climbing and mountaineering for 30 years. I was lucky to do it for work and play, on most days of that fortunate phase in my life. This documentary is good. It goes beyond climbing, into the nature of being human and being a part of nature. youtu.be/2dDD-d4_Sc8?...

This hits hard 🐧

I need time out 🙏 There is no peace until it's there for everyone 🔥 Equal rights would be a good start ❤️ Love to Africa 🤎

Which MP received more than £220,000 in donations from people+organisations with links to the private health sector? 🚨🚨🚨

“Starmer must end this involvement in Iran and stop the King's visit to the USA.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social calls on Starmer to show leadership - stop UK involvement in illegal wars, refuse concessions to Trump, and oppose normalising fascism through inappropriate state visits.

In the bath til water runs cold Mind and body untimely old Enough energy for warm up shower? Lyme Long COVID took my power Loneliness is the hardest bit When all that's left is breathe and sit Be in stillness til a human comes Love and hope to the disabled ones ❤️ 🐌 🙏🏻 🦥 ❤️

Our transition to a green economy, with green energy and green technology for a green society will help so many people in so many ways. Green politics is about good outcomes for people and the planet, not more wealth for billionares who kill the lives and natural systems we are here to defend. 🙏🏻💚🙏🏻

"Stephens said his view was that policing was institutionally racist, but most of his fellow chiefs, almost all of whom are white, disagreed." Of course it's institutionally racist. Throw misogynistic, homophobic and toxic into the pot too. The evidence is out there. See Casey (2023) for starters.

"The UK government cannot pick and choose when to uphold international law or whose lives are worth protecting. It must do everything in its power to hold all perpetrators... accountable. Failure to act now will have devastating human consequences." Steve Cutts CEO @medicalaidpal.bsky.social

Can we treat this as an opportunity to protect people’s living standards and build a clean, secure energy system for the unstable decades to come? More good sense in under 1000 words than one tends to see in the newspapers these days 💯 Thank you @chaitanyakumar.bsky.social 🙏🏻

For anyone who wants to use their brain, brawn or, worst case, ballistic badge to protect people in our society, this is the sort of thing they should be steered carefully towards, not putting climate and social justice protesters in prison.

The writer stops at seven. I'm quite sure, if we threw the question to the floor, there are thousands of lessons that US warmongers have forgotten from WW1, and all the wars that have followed since. Indeed, there are many lessons that US warmongers are yet to learn. How to live well is one of them.

Here’s what billionaires don’t want you to know.

Reposted before and I'm reposting again 👀 EVERY CLIMATE INDICATOR IS FLASHING RED 🚨 We must all do all that we can to help 🙏 We must all demand that all power does all it can too ‼️ Burying heads in the sand of inaction will not help one bit 👁️ And action makes us feel better 💚 So get moving 🌍

Being mega wealthy is never off your own hard graft, blood, sweat and tears. It's off the back of other people. That's the only way it has or will ever happen. If you're privileged enough to be in that position, elevating the people who got you there is the only way to sustain it...

More than five years into Lyme disease and long COVID, the past 12 months have been the least active of my life. Doing so little, I notice the clock change so much more and it's even more weird than ever. Stop this foolishness I say! Stop it now!

So Israel commits war crime after war crime… Invades Targets civilians/aid workers Snipers children Land grabs Celebrates with champagne at hanging Palestinians …and the international community can’t even muster the most flaccid of responses. You have failed us all.

Israel's new law imposing the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of fatal attacks is a dangerous development of its apartheid system. It is discriminatory, racist, and cruel. Expressions of concern are not enough. The Labour government must act to end Israel's impunity.

"Polanski’s speech won a standing ovation & was welcomed by NEU general secretary, Daniel Kebede, who said more than 60% of his members used to vote Labour. “I think our membership feels that Zack speaks more for schools and education at the moment.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon They've displaced huge numbers of civilians... Yet it barely registers. Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.

The government is reportedly considering triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS data contract. It's a no-brainer - this break clause is an exit ramp and the government should take it.

‘A cruel penalty’: hundreds of thousands of disabled people will have their benefit cut if their conditions are deemed not to be lifelong. My report in today’s paper: www.theguardian.com/politics/202... 1/5

All the love and thanks to Zack, the Green Party and events like Together Alliance for bringing hope and unity to Britain. We need it more than ever. 🙏🏻 💚 ✊🏻

NEW: It’s a journocide. Israel admits to targeting & killing three more journalists & making up false evidence. Journalists in the west have a moral responsibility to speak up. The blowback from this impunity is coming next for us all. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

"As the country’s most powerful people bend the knee to Trump, it has been left to ordinary people like the members of our group to fight back... The only solution is community. Not only will it radically increase your capabilities as an organizer, it will also make you feel a whole lot better." 🙏🏻❤️

I love this woman and all who think or act like she does "I never expected that science itself would come under attack, simply because it – like journalism, history, and even the best kind of art- is a way of seeking the truth." Kate Marvel

"In some areas, First Past the Post could mean MPs getting elected on as little as 25% or 30% of the vote. That is not sustainable for British politics, and it is time for Proportional Representation." 💯💯💯 @richardfoordld.bsky.social

Over the past three decades, music originating from Black genres has generated £24.5bn of the UK music industry’s £30bn recorded music market... but structurally and institutionally, it is too often treated as marginal – a genre, a niche, something “other”. It is not. Black music is foundational.

The British state has never truly apologised for our nation's role in African chattel slavery and colonialism. Today, I presented a petition calling for an unequivocal apology and an All-Party Parliamentary Commission for Truth and Reparatory Justice to address these grave crimes and their legacy.
