@JPThrough1 @NickLincoln Wealth taxes are a hideous idea, used to create division and avoid scrutiny of genuine options.

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@RupertLowe10 Thank God for immigration!!

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@RollingHedge The irony is this is a foreign made success investing in Britain. So why should he have loyalty? I can imagine the left and right hating this!!

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@normanbluecoll1 Yeh, I mean make things harder for the working classes by pandering to polls. Sounds on brand 👍🏼

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@garyseconomics There are 2 things which need separating:

1) We have growing inequality which must be tackled

2) Wealth taxes don’t work

The problem is you have a platform based on 2 which will exacerbate 1.

If you want to make a difference, find other solutions. Don’t make it about you.

@LNER Can you not do something about that? There’s a few stops along the way…

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@LNER currently in first class on the 19:00 from King’s Cross to Edinburgh. Will you be loading catering at Peterborough, Newark, Doncaster? It would be appreciated. I’ve been travelling since 05:27 and I can’t ration my bottle of water and Candy Kittens forever 😬

@KJM16563114 @SukhSidhuDXB Roughly 20% of small business owners in the UK pay themselves less than the current minimum wage. Are you suggesting that:

A) They move further below the poverty line to pay for the people they employ, or;

B) They close business & join a large multinational for more money?

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@Rovers This. Exactly as it was.

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@KP24 @JamieMagill5 Sir AC played 161 tests to your 104, with similar average. 59 as skipper. Would suggest his prep for Tests, the pinnacle of the game, was better? Saying this as a KP fan as well 👊

@louismosley @_BoldPolitics @ZackPolanski Articulate and forensic rebuttal.

Lunatic attacks improved UK defence and health outcomes to grow own influence, using a platform owned by a billionaire.

I’m glad we have sensible people in this country who rise above this and put British people first.

[Louis Mosley @louismosley]

@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny:

1. It is a video.
2. You are wearing a jacket.
3. Then you aren’t.
4. Then you are again.

Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends.

A few corrections for you:

Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.)

We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing).

We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing.

There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event.

Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale.

We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now.

We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story.

I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now:

->110,000 additional operations
->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges
->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer

Respect again for what you did with that jacket.

@JoeBangles11 @Irmenberga I mean, I love blue cheese and it kinda fits!! Vive la fromage!

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@JoeBangles11 @PastorAlexLove Shows how much a comma can change everything

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@DGoughie @cunardline @houseofcavani Not tempted to cut the big toe out the shoes Goughie??

[Robin @RobinBoomBoom]

@MorecambeFC Nice statement @Panjabwarriors however you have to own the outcomes of your actions and get faster at making changes. Football isn’t a business you can take at your own pace.

I get how ASJ fit the story. But you sacked an established manager for an amateur and stuck with him.

@timrud1 @funkwit @matcoch Attendance ≠ ticket sales. Some people get a ticket for three days and some for one. A three day ticket counts as three in the attendance, but all from the one ticket.

Some funky flight paths over ME this evening. Check out AIC186 @flightradar24 - that must have been an experience!!
