Longest unbroken spell of rainy days since 1908. Call me cynical but I bet they'll still be water shortages this summer www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Labour have been responsible for the biggest roll back in LGBT rights since the Thatcher government of the 1980s. He's not known as Sir Queer Harmer for nothing!

In a touching tribute to his mentor, Morgan McSweeney has resigned in disgrace.

You just know Wes Streeting is having a fucking terrible weekend and I for one love that for him.

And the same Morgan McSweeney who didn't declare a huge donation to his think tank. And the same Morgan McSweeney who was cheerleader for Labour throwing pensioners, jobless, disabled, refugees and migrants and trans people under the bus and then stamping on them.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

British values

This is how I post

The dude whose company, thanks to Labour, will run our military analytics and to whom Wes Streeting is giving our personal healthcare data.

Hey, @politico.eu, shouldn't you include Tony Blair Institute's well-known links to petrostates & oil & gas companies in this report? And shouldn't you call him "oil & IT lobbyist" first, since he's been that twice as long as he was PM? www.politico.eu/article/tony...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The impacts of locking under 16 yos from their social media networks are now beginning to bite for those young people who relied on them for social connection

This sickens me so deeply because anyone who knew young people and their families within the trans community knew this was true. Could viscerally feel the damage that has been done to a whole generation. And the instinct from Labour was not to address the harm – it was to cover it up. Unforgivable.

It's like Mandelson and Starmer watched and learned from the Tory VIP Lane: 💷 Privileged access ✅ 💷 Personal benefit ✅ 💷 No competition ✅ Mandelson benefitted financially through his stake in Global Counsel.

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

New on FT website: Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract. www.ft.com/content/5bba...

The problem with Labour saying "only Labour can beat Reform in Gorton & Denton" is that that party peddled the exact same line in Caerphilly. In the by-election there last year, Plaid won with 47.4%, with Labour limping home in 3rd with just 11%.

I deleted my post from before… I thought it was fake So I went to WH Smith and here it is An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done.

when i started working as a journalist in 2014, there were trans reporters in multiple national newsrooms. almost all have left. the high output of anti-trans articles & the near absence of articles by trans journalists are two sides of the same coin: institutional transphobia in the UK media.

Horrifying but sadly predictable. Hillary Cass has blood on her hands. So does Wes Streeting

this is the question.

Police searching Mandelson's homes. Sweet, sweet schadenfreude www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

I wonder how many folk have been tricked out of NHS treatment that they were on a waiting list for, not cos their needs had changed, but cos Wes made it more attractive for hospitals to game the system so that he could have some cool figs to boost his leadership bid www.thetimes.com/article/d318...

Conscience? The 'island of strangers' guy? The 'they do have that right' guy? The '10 pledges' guy? The 'I did know' guy?

DECENT? The 'island of strangers' guy? The 'they do have that right' guy? The '10 pledges' guy? The 'I did know' guy? Are you fucking serious?

The language that is now commonly used to describe people is cruel, crude and dehumanising. This is going to catch up with all of us who are not in the very top elite. apple.news/AopFiVh54RxS...

Just something to think about the next time you use Chap GPT.

Tell me again why I should vote for these guys?

This is why there needs to be a complete ban of corporate and overseas funding of all political organizations. Not just parties but other campaign groups.

Spain has effectively made the argument that their economy NEEDS migration. They don’t have the hostile environment which every govt. has kept despite Windrush promises. This could be us if we weren’t cooked.

Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS. The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals. The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

#Epstein was co-owner of a Silicon Valley venture fund controlled by Peter Thiel, billionaire founder of defence analytics giant Palantir Technologies, which holds more than £670 million in UK Government contracts. Palantir has tentacles that reach deep into the British state and institutions.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of democracy on this side of the Atlantic, and I’m not being hyperbolic.

Labour “Together” is the prime source of Labour’s transphobia. One part of this, ostensibly written by @sundersays.bsky.social (but I suspect someone else) made the unevidenced claim that there was a “conflict of rights” between trans ppl & cis women. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

And this is who Wes Streeting wants all over our NHS?

“This is dark shit.” An astonishing scoop from Democracy for Sale: https://democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-morgan-mcsweeneys-labour-together-investigators-journalists

I just don't understand why you would give your healthcare data to a company named after Sauron's scrying orb. In the book, Tolkien talks about how having even one orb in the hands of someone evil makes all other information available suspect. This isn't even a forensic question!

"I was lied to, I was lied to" Keir Starmer complaining about other peoples dishonesty.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

If you want to know how we ended up with such a corrupt set of liars in power (again) I'd really recommend @zackpolanski.bsky.social's interview with Paul Holden. The investigative journalist author of The Fraud - an exposé of Mandelson, McSweeney and the whole Labour Together project

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government. Thanks Keir.

British core values like genocide, racism, transphobia and giving high profile jobs to corrupt apologists for paedophile rapists

You don’t say. What else might he have been directly involved in, do we think?

New from Dazed: We speak to the activists and regular swimmers behind the movement to keep the Hampstead ponds inclusive: https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/69529/1/the-women-fighting-for-trans-inclusion-at-hampstead-heath-ponds-sex-matters

If Starmer & McSweeney finally go over the revelations in the Mandelson files Their toxic immigration plans must go with them. NO MORE politicians in the pockets of the seedy rich blaming the outcomes of their greed & corruption on immigrants!

Are you sufficiently concerned about Palantir and Peter Thiel? Because he wasn't just in Epstein's life or files. He's in yours, and your files are with him thanks to the UK government.
