Quite rightly, Scotland's NHS has not given Palantir access to our records. England's Wes Streeting, however, has said he will 'hold the door open' to privatising England's NHS. Palantir's access to England's NHS records is a very slippery slope.

I'm not a fan of Andy Burnham, but with Starmer loyalists blocking him from standing in the Gorton & Denton byelection, the Labour party is now unsalveageble for those on the left and its transition to a centre-right party is complete. Starmer & McSweeney are handing the UK over to the right.

A dominant theme of Hitler's speeches in the late 1930s is that Germany was surrounded by threats. These threats were imaginary: it was Nazi Germany that threatened other nations. But they were used to justify pre-emptive attacks. Trump is following this script.
