Wes Streeting supports the Cass Report and Palantir's UK govt contracts. Either he lacks the critical thinking skills to evaluate the evidence/arguments against them, or he ignores these things for ideological or other reasons. Either one makes him unfit to be PM in my view. (Not going to debate it)

Happy Birthday to Margaret Calvert today. 90 years old and what an impact! Her work is in every local town. A Margaret thread 🧵1/11

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

this is absolutely BONKERS behavior from the director of the FBI. it's a disgrace to his position and the entire US government.

🚨 Spanish media is awake to Starmer’s Brexit deceit. He talks about putting Britain “at the heart of Europe” while stubbornly keeping his red lines: no single market, no customs union, no FoM. This is why the reset is delivering so little. Europe sees through it. english.elpais.com/internationa...

A hedge fund led by the owner of GB News has made millions from shorting NatWest stock as the bank’s shares fell in the wake of the controversy over Nigel Farage’s bank account. www.standard.co.uk/business/gb-...

I gave an interview recently about the importance of making nightlife more affordable for young people, and some of the feedback was, what a woke interview. And I think: so much of the current moment is just indulging people who don't want anyone else to have nice things.

This map is very telling. It's a sub-option under the Legal Gender Recognition page and show countries where there is "NO legal frame work, thus making legal gender recognition impossible" Such countries are highlighted in red! Look at the company the UK keeps 😔

You know this opens the door to an incredible amount of grim shit. They know this opens the door to an incredible amount of grim shit. They're rolling the pitch for a Reform government, and they wont just be against people that don't like genocide.

What, you mean the performative cruelty to trans people was cover for doing nothing about real violence against women and girls all along? 😱 This context of course goes unmentioned at the Guardian, who seem to be gagged from mentioning how badly anti-trans politics has performed in the election.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

GB News is "surprised and concerned" that Ofcom is investigating and says it "stands firmly by its journalism and editorial standards": www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m... So here's a reminder of what GB News-style "journalism" looks like:

I’ve worked trafficking cases before. I’ve been a journalist long enough to see horrific things. My husband was gunned down in front of me. My mom suffered a serious brain injury, rendering her primarily nonverbal and paralyzed. I am many things, but I am not easily shaken. 🧵

Wes Streeting just gave your address, your ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, if you are cis or trans, if you've ever had an abortion, an addiction, are disabled in anyway and a million other pieces of info about you, to a far right tech company the UK government has no control over.

Streeting is Peter Thiels British JD Vance He's there to open the door for Palantir as they plan to turn the NHS into the murder machine that is the privatised US health industry There's a reason Thiel was doing the media rounds after the Luigi Mangione shooting calling for him to be put to death

Yes. It's coming. Trojan Horses - Brexit, Trump, Russia - the First Great Information War Directed by Steve Unwin, starring Joanna Scanlan. Tickets for our Brexit anniversary reading will be on sale very soon

At first it was false balance, the BBC Politics department bending backwards to accommodate Brexit. But now its daily partisanship towards populism, its complete lack of commitment to democracy and transparency, make BBC Politics more a public disservice than a public service

BREAKING: (For anyone that didn’t already know) @politicsuk.com is not an independent news source, but another Reform UK outlet

NHS England has granted external staff – not just from Palantir, but consultancy firms working with them – “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data as part of the Federated Data Platform. Can they really be sure our data’s safe? https://www.ft.com/content/8ce1b9be-1d51-466b-90de-54bff1a504ca

Is it time to crack out the lettuce?

Just imagine reading Starmer's speech and being any of the minorities Labour has disowned and oppressed, any of the people locked up for peaceful protest, disabled or elderly? Everyone who sees greedy, evil, wrecker corporations suckled on public funds? The scale of this lie is vast.

yeah no fair play cos whenever people think of fairness they always think of genocide, brutal attacks on trans and disabled people and immigrants, eye watering austerity, selling the nhs to weapons manufacturers, and criminalising protest

There’s something rotten in the state of the BBC’s political reporting. And unless it’s fixed soon, they will bring the catastrophe of Trump to the UK.

Thanks today and every day to all the moms of trans youth out there fighting like hell for their kids. When the stakes feel like they're rising by the hour and everyone tells you you're wrong no matter what you do, thanks to those who stand between their kids and a world that doesn't deserve them.

Something that stung at end of being on Infinite Monkey Cage were frequent backstage invites for various anti trans activists - including to our small party for 201st episode - people who wrote vicious things about me & then lies about me after resignation. It was really rotten. www.robinince.com

NHS England went out of its way to tell us (www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechn...) our data was safe. It wasn't. And we are right to worry. Palantir is deeply political. And highly unethical: it paid for a smear campaign against Good Law Project. Did they also access my medical records? My family's?

This is section 28 again btw. Not teaching that trans people exist as fact, when it is a fact, is a ban on teaching about us.

Most Definitely ♥️

My favourite @greenparty.org.uk graph. Simple but VERY clear on how #GetGreensElected is going

I will NOT be complicit in my own subjugation. I’m not second class to anybody. As a trans-woman, I’ve overcome obstacles and emotions that would break most. On picking on trans women (mostly), these fuckers have bitten off more than they can chew. #NAZILABOUR #TRANSAPARTHEID #TRANSRIGHTS

If you like data, here is something interesting for you: Bridget Phillipson interview on LK: 9m 40" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 31 Richard Tice interview on LK: 8m 23" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 9

This is what is needed to destroy the GP partnership model and replace GPs with salaried staff employed by private health commissioned to provide Streeting's neighbourhood health centres. It is, in reality, the privatisation of GPs.

Organising data properly - yes. There have been some good data sharing initiatives between and within trusts for years, although I still regularly have to collect results on paper and scan and email them to a clinic. Handing it to Palantir - hard no, absolute madness.

People drifting to Reform out of frustration with Labour need to know: Starmer’s strategist, Morgan McSweeney, is protégé of Lord Maurice Glasman — who publicly praised Steve Bannon, appeared on his podcast (via Farage), and cheered Trump’s victory. This is Blue Labour. And it’s already in power.

the attempts to rig elections are going to get more blatant, not less, until such time as they are removed from office

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker. Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”. He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was handed a suspended sentence. It comes up when you Google him. He won in the council election. A vicious domestic abuser is now a Reform Councillor.

🧵My response: “This statement is utterly enraging. The government is doing the exact opposite of what it claims. Taking away gender affirming healthcare for trans youth is taking away their dignity and is completely disrespectful of their autonomy.

Did Trump start a war with Iran just to make all his favourite golfers go back to the PGA Tour? This hungover showerthought brought to you by an inability to think in depth, and an unprecedented level of political fatigue.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on here, the Greens aren't splitting the left vote because this Labour party isn't left wing.

Today’s a victory for BBC’s relentless appeasement of far right, for Labour Together which prefers Farage cos they can say “vote for us because we ‘re not Reform”, for our bigoted press - but I will NOT despair & I will stand up for those who woke up feeling more threatened by the hate in the world
