🔴 Wes Streeting has said that Palantir is “absolutely critical to the future of the NHS.” But Palantir’s £330m NHS platform is “slow an clunky” and eight to ten times slower at analysing data than the current NHS tool in use Massive scoop on Democracy for Sale: open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

If UK wants low immigration and therefore reduced tax receipts, the shortfall has got to come from somewhere. But exceptionalists will always stick their fingers in their ears and say la la la.

Brexiters wanted to leave the EU because they thought we were rule taking (via QMV). And they didn't want to stay in the single market (via EEA) because they thought that'd be rule taking. So instead they went with the TCA which is rule taking. Do keep up.

What's the point of Burnham's leadership challenge?!

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Meanwhile in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Farages Deform Uks untrained so called Councillors are now dropping like flies, but as usual it's been kept away from the main News. 22 of them went within just 2 weeks. thedailybritain.co.uk/reform-counc...

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

I'll never forget this picture

So Reform voters think politicians are overpaid yet Farage pleads poverty on his MP salary of £98k…

We’re only ‘not allowed’ to go over the Brexit debates because the Brexiters were wrong on approximately 95% of them.

Yesterday Far Right leader Tommy Robinson and his followers openly called for Islam to be removed from the UK and us Muslims to be remigrated. If he had said this about Jews, quite rightly, there would be a national response. But it has been eerily quiet today.

Always loved Grant Green and this tune (and the whole album), shame to be reminded of it's civil rights importance today. youtu.be/Qz3QHbe2PU0?...

Then why run for leadership to maintain the status quo?

Anyone but Wes Streeting, including Starmer.

Drawn by Dr Seuss over 50 years ago.

"the dramatic cost declines in batteries have now made 'firm renewables' — solar or wind paired with batteries — cheaper than fossil fuels in many parts of the world." This is game changing.

It’s weird that the BBC loves Reform and Farage so much because if Farage ever became PM the BBC would be finished.

Fuck Burnham.

Brexit no longer has democratic legitimacy.

This. Effectively Vance would remain vice president.

Is it me or is it cold!

Harborne gave the Brexit Party £6 million in 2019 and was mentioned in the Panama Papers but luckily the UK has the memory of a goldfish... so nobody talks about that

Good riddance Streeting, he was no friend to the chronically ill or trans.

I just wondered, if I posted: EVERYBODY HATES YOU, WES Whether anyone would leap to Streeting's defence?

I absolutely would not vote for Labour under Streeting.

Brexit. British Exit from the EU. But also stands in my mind for British Exceptionalism. That of being as a country so different to say France or Germany or any other that we couldn't really be happy members of a bloc. Which was always nonsense.

This will piss a lot of people off, and I'm severely disappointed in Starmer, but I'm fed up with politics by Social Media and the grass isn't always greener. I absolutely do not want Wes Streeting as a possible leadership contender. holdtheline.org.uk/petition

I wonder if the MSM would consider highlighting the reality.

The media is ‘maybe’ a little bit biased!

If we want economic growth, decent public services and prime ministers who last more than 45 minutes in the job — we need to rejoin the EU.

Totally

Contrary to Labour MPs saying people ‘hate’ Starmer, I don't hate him and their scape-goating of him misses the point. It is Labour policies and Brexit red lines that are the problem and I see no leadership candidate, indeed no Labour MP addressing that.

Frankly it needs to rethink its relationship with the whole world.

The UK isn't not a serious country. (With my condolences to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)

No, he's not, and the MSM will take his scalp too.

If Labour leadership contender thinks they can out manoeuvre the right wing press once installed, good luck with that. It'll be their head on the block next.

A near-future EU comprised of: - Current EU countries - UK - Ukraine - EEA countries (?) Would be an immensely potent force by every conceivable measure, from economic to military. Such an expansion would create a world power able to credibly go toe to toe with the USA and China.

Lisa Nandy: “I don't think anyone in this country wants to reopen the Brexit debate.” The Country:

In a few months time Ursula von der Leyen gets to congratulate her 6th British Prime Minister. If the 6th British PM continues to attempt to gain access to the EU single market without any commitment to european values or Institutions then there will be a 7th PM in a few years.

Can we not do politics by Social media please. Might as well do away with General Elections and have a weekly popularity contest 🙄

Like promising to put yourself "at the heart of golf" without having access to a golf course, owning any golf clubs or knowing the rules of golf.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.
