My young autistic son just said to me “You’re my best friend forever mummy”. Never thought we’d get to the point when I’d hear him say such a long sentence - after he was non-verbal for so long. I used to wish I could hear his voice and now he doesn’t stop talking. ❤️ #Autism

This one hits hard.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes.

I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly.

Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce.

Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

What the BBC headline is...
And what actually happened.

@PolitlcsUK he’s exactly right

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Old housemates, old school friends, family members, - they even asked a local launderette for an itinerary of what I've had washed!

All this from billionaire owned media because they don't want a party to continue growing that challenges power & wealth.

[The Receipts UK ♿ @david_hollas]

I've obtained the master contract between the Ministry of Defence and Palantir Technologies UK Ltd.
It covers 2026 to 2029. It was signed on 30 December 2025 — while Parliament was in recess. There was no competitive tender. Here's what's in it. And what they don't want you to see.
The contract is administered through Defence Digital at MoD Corsham, the nerve centre of UK military digital and intelligence infrastructure.
The contract number is redacted. Not the value. Not the scope. The contract number itself is classified.
The entire pricing section is gone. Redacted under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act, commercial interests. So is the IP clause. So are the key liability figures. So are all the contract schedules.
A US company is embedded into UK defence infrastructure for three years. The public cannot see what we are paying for it.
Now here's the clause that should be getting more attention.
Palantir staff working on classified MoD sites must hold Security Check clearance as a minimum, with Developed Vetting available when required. The contract says personnel should be UK nationals where site classification requires.
Should. Not must.
Palantir was founded by Peter Thiel. It grew out of a CIA seed investment. Its largest shareholder base is American. Its founders have direct relationships with US intelligence going back two decades.
The contract does not prohibit non-UK nationals from working on classified UK defence environments. It expresses a preference.
Condition 14. The media clause.
Palantir is contractually prohibited from communicating with press, television, radio or other media about anything in this contract without prior written MoD consent.
That is why Palantir UK has said nothing publicly about this deal. They are legally barred from doing so.
The contract was signed on 30 December 2025. Parliament was in recess. No tender process. No public announcement at signing. The contract number is a state secret. The price is hidden. And the contractor is gagged.
This is how £240 million of public money gets committed to a single American company with no scrutiny whatsoever.
Section 43, commercial interests, is a qualified exemption under FOIA. That means a public interest test applies.
The argument that Palantir's commercial sensitivity outweighs the public's right to know the cost of a no-tender three-year defence contract is not a strong one. I'll be filing for an internal review.
I'll be publishing the full analysis on Substack. If you think Parliament should be able to see what we're paying Palantir and why no other company was given the chance to bid, share this thread.
The document is real. The redactions are real. Draw your own conclusions.

🚨 do you understand what just happened to Itamar Ben-Gvir..

The far-right National Security Minister just got banned from France after taunting detained Gaza flotilla activists on camera.

This is the same man who:

•Was a teenage Kahanist with a long rap sheet for racism and terrorism
•Was deemed “too extreme” to serve in the IDF…
•Keeps a portrait of a terrorist in his home and has celebrated terrorist acts for years

Yet he was handed control of the police...

This week he filmed himself waving the Israeli flag and taunting zip-tied activists (including Europeans) who were forced to kneel in front of him as he called himself “the landlord.”

France’s response was immediate: full entry ban, calling his behavior “reprehensible.”

The most radical voice in the cabinet just kept getting more power and now the whole world knows his name.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

@MetamateDaz They don’t do it because they are already evil people. To become a billionaire you have use other peoples cheap labour to such an appalling degree that its basically a human rights violation. I doubt they give a shit about anything, least of all homelessness!

🚨 SHOCKING — These are the exact same Reform activists who flood X every day screaming, lecturing, and telling everyone how Britain should be run…

Yet 24 hours after getting elected in Kirklees, they stand up in full council and admit:

“I don’t understand the Constitution…
I don’t understand standing orders…
I don’t understand what an amendment is.”

Then they whine it’s “not democratic” they might vote on things they don’t understand

This is the terrifying danger of populist rage politics: loud online warriors with ZERO clue how to actually govern.

Handing real power to people who don’t even know where to start is how countries collapse.
