David Lammy’s proposals to restrict the right to jury trial have been examined by the Justice Committee of the House of Commons.

And. Well. Um.

It’s *quite* the report.

I think it’s actually worse than politely scathing.

It’s embarrassing 👇🏼🪡🧵

@Chris_Pry_420 @pdxraj @DPJHodges Are you suggesting that white people always tell the truth and others don’t ?

How private equity works! https://t.co/8oF8qN4T2l buy modestly successful companies which then borrow money they don’t need to pay owners huge dividends. Once value is extracted, either firms go bust or struggle to survive by raising prices to take more money off customers.

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph.
I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them.
The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry.
And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children.
But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

DOJ redacted information necessary to identify who sent Epstein the “torture video email.”

@RepRoKhanna and I first discovered his name and released it Monday.

Today he resigns.

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Guess who is a huge fan of Orbán? Matt Goodwin (@GoodwinMJ), Reform UK's candidate for Gorton and Denton.

He's also involved with Mathias Corvinus Collegium, mentioned in this article. Here he is speaking at their Battle For The Soul of Europe Conference appearing alongside Balázs Orbán, political director for Orbán.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ

1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators

2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated

3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video

Naysayers are telling me I'm too hopeful, telling me the mass media are too powerful and the majority too gullible. That's not how I see history.

During times of socioeconomic progress, when things are slowly improving, people have hope and believe, even when they're down. When things start regressing, like now, people stop believing. The management of belief is far easier than the management of disbelief.

At some point the management fails and belief falls apart entirely, taking the system down with it, sometimes slowly over a century or two but sometimes rapidly over a few decades. Then people look for something better.

I probably won't live to see that, but it might well come during my grandchildren's lifetime. So, for them, I'll just keep going, spreading as much truth as I can understand, because as many truths as possible need to be still around when the time comes.

"Tony has turned funny."

This recording from the Epstein files is part of a 3 and a half hour conversation between Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak on the evening of February 15, 2013. For the first half Clinton's former Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers, is present.

They are talking about how you can cash in after you leave office. After Summers leaves the conversation turns to Tony Blair and includes this intriguing passage.

Barak: "Tony Blair for example is doing probably 11 million a year from the Kazakhstan government just to give them advice to help them with lobbying, NGOs and UN Organisations."

Epstein – "Tony has turned funny. I don’t know what Tony’s doing for money. And I don’t know if the money that Tony is getting is actually to Tony or to somebody else ... so Tony gets to pay some of the money to somebody else. Because I hear gigantic numbers given to Tony. 5 million here, 10 million here, 5 million there. Tony’s not making $30 million a year."

Barak - "Yes, but he’s become quite, I can judge from the style of his watches …"

Epstein - "Yes, but he’s making 10 million a year."

Barak – “Yes, but probably he gets the money and he leaves some of it to others, to some of the providers.”

If this is true - who was Blair fronting for? /1

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

My daughter has a long-standing medical condition. A blood test before Christmas flagged a problem. She can see the abnormal results on the NHS app.

It took three weeks to get a GP phone appointment - to be told what she already knows (including the treatment ‘next steps’). The appointment window was “any time that day.”

The call came during a university lecture.
She stepped outside.
It rang off before she could answer.

She immediately tried to call back.
No answer. No option to leave a voicemail.

No option to email either - according to the website. But miss three telephone calls
and you get struck off.

This is also the GP surgery that gave her a blood test form with another patient’s full name, date of birth and address - and then asked her to walk 25 minutes in the dark to return it.

Luckily, she has me - and I’m persistent.
Many wouldn’t be - or don’t have anyone to help them navigate the system.

This is what access to healthcare now looks like.

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

OK, SO if the govt can check our bank accounts and take money if they see fit (because we’re either pensioners or claim UC); why then can’t they take back the money from Tories peers who sold £12B in useless PPE? Why can’t you cease assets from the likes of Mone who bought a yacht and a mansion from govt contracts she failed to supply? Or have we all forgotten about the Tories wasting £Billions?

Let me just add, this is a Tory policy, yet no one seems to disagree with it. Fucking WILD if you ask me.

Here's what most people don't understand about Palantir. They are busy with "second empire building", which refers to the digital colonisation of social and economic life, where private corporate entities assume the traditional roles of the state (sovereignty, identity management, and economic regulation).
The head of Palantir's UK branch is Louis Mosley, grandson of British fascist Oswald Mosley. His strategy for penetrating British healthcare was explicit: "Buy our way in" by acquiring smaller companies, then "take a lot of ground and take down a lot of political resistance."
Palantir has 24 contracts with key public institutions, the NHS, the Cabinet Office, the police forces, the Ministry of Defence, GCHQ, and Coventry City Council.
