The same people who tell us “oh, dear boy, you don’t understand” when reassuring us about Palantir embedding itself in the British state were almost exactly the same people who told us Russian interference, Cambridge Analytica and phone hacking were just ‘conspiracy theories’

Shabana Mahmood said it out loud - a panopticon system of surveillance. Capitalists have no interest in fixing the problems they've created (eg climate crisis); instead they want to crack down on dissent. The aim is kompromat on us all and 'pre-crime' internment. Dystopian levels of autoritarianism.

The rot runs right through this Labour government. Starmer made Mandelson ambassador to the US despite knowing of his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He must go. Streeting must cancel the NHS contract with Palantir which has Mandelson's hands all over it.

Damning from Journalist Oli Dugmore on #bbcquestiontime “Not only did the people at the top of the Labour party know about this… they didn’t think that that was disqualifying, they thought ‘actually, this is our guy’” says Mandelson’s appointment was “extraordinary” given links to Jeffrey Epstein

Rest assured that Reform will NEVER work with Tories. Apart from Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Danny Kruger, Andrea Jenkyns, Jonathan Gullis, Sarah Pochin, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Peter Bone, Robert Jenrick, Andrew Rosindell, Suella Braverman…

Wait til you hear that 1)Palantir has an app, which ICE use to access medical records to assist in targeting raids 2)Both the Conservatives & Reform plan an ICE style agency if elected 3)Both Conservatives & Labour have welcomed Palantir’s FDP into the NHS. Like 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬?

"Trump has all his work done for him by placid European centrists who went along with the policy of trashing international law."

Board of Peace - Season 1

Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand. We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is. We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.

How does #OccupationalTherapy aim to promote participation in occupation at individual and systemic levels? Is there a clear evidence base for enabling participation in the occupations of making art, dance, community choirs? How do these impact physical, social and emotional wellbeing? #science

Carole Cadwalladr is one of the most valuable journalists of our times - she was the first to spot the unholy alliance between big tech & the far right, & she did great work exposing the links between Brexit & Putin's regime (for which she paid a heavy personal price). This will be a must-watch.

Loving all the new followers, thank you and welcome/croeso... but ... where did you all come from? How did you find me? So many questions! It'll take me some time to get round to following back ... work calls

Exactly what I did when the fascist filth and lies came through my door a week ago

Reform UK will forever be associated with corruption and bribes. #ReformRussianBribes

This feels like peak infantilisation of the elderly. What exactly is ‘disgraceful’ about giving the elderly/infirm practical advice about how to be physically intimate in a safe way? They aren’t children. Their innocent eyes don’t need to be protected. Plus it’s medical guidance not a jazz mag

Our discontent is not about migration, only racists use that argument. Our discontent is about the absolute failure of the political establishment to govern in the national interest. Post Brexit they have all been crooked as hell, selling the country out and themselves to crooked US lobbyists!!!

Friendly reminder: these are the rights we all have under the ECHR. They're not just for a privileged few They're for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US

Proud to be an OT 👊💥 Happy #WorldOTday

Excellent work yet again @ledbydonkeys.org
