Palantir was a warning sign. Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment. All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

’Tis the season for presents and goodwill. In Westminster, especially over the Christmas period, the giving of gifts, freebies and swanky receptions for MPs, their advisors and colleagues go into overdrive. Read my article for

Gifts, temptation and the colossal corrosion of politics
At Westminster, gifts and freebies aren’t simple goodwill, but rather part of the slow pull of money that turns heads, normalises privilege and corrodes public service

32 colleges hit the turnout threshold. 90% backed strike action. Our ballots have already won pay deals at 17 colleges now others must follow. College teachers are still paid £9,000 less than school teachers. This isn’t sustainable. Pay parity now.
