🚨 BREAKING: Everyone who joined our NHS–Palantir campaign has now had a reply from NHS England's Data Protection Officer.

In writing, they confirmed:
▸ Palantir staff can access identifiable patient data before it's pseudonymised
▸ There is no opt-out from the Federated Data Platform
▸ Your Article 21 right to object has been formally refused

They've confirmed it. They won't change it.

Next step: a formal ICO complaint, citing their own response.

We're building a one-click escalation tool for campaign participants. Watch this space.

BREAKING:

Israel is directly striking civilians in Mayfadoun, South Lebanon.

Read that again.

Civilians are being hunted down by Israeli drones and bombed in their own town.

And we’re still expected to call this a ceasefire.

[Nyx 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @Nyxj0qz]

this reminds me about an article i read about somali men/women duties centuries ago. it’s funny how some men rewrite history as if they worked outside while women stayed home doing nothing. In many cultures, women were doing hard manual labour while their husbands galloped around on horses/camels.

The BBC mournfully notes that only 30% of Brits now trust the news, the day after it told us Russia hired a couple of young Ukrainian male prostitutes to torch the PM's motor.

🚨BREAKING: Iran Explicitly Threatens To Attack Israel If Its Ceasefire Violations Do Not End!

“The terrorist army of the Zionist entity violated the ceasefire in southern Lebanon 84 times over the past two days, after the US president announced the end of the war, and continues to commit crimes and massacres against the oppressed Lebanese people.

If the child-killing army of the Zionist entity does not stop its evil deeds in southern Lebanon, it should expect a harsh response from the mighty Iranian armed forces.”

Andy Burnham’s last Labour leadership campaign was funded by Howard Borrington, then a director at arms firm MBDA.

In the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School attack of May 2025, the Israeli military dropped GBU-39 bombs fitted with MBDA Inc. folding wings.

18 children were killed.

Labour MPs:

"It's fine to support Palestine, just do it peacefully"

Also Labour MPs:

"Talk to me about Palestine and I'll have you fucking arrested"

Israel is dropping toxic chemicals on farmland in South Lebanon

We’re talking about catastrophic levels of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer

11,000 times above safe levels

This is a deliberate war crime aimed at making life impossible and forcing people out of their land

Anne Read: "of course I do not class myself as a terrorist. I accept that I am classed as one by a govt that supports terrorist regimes"

Trudi Warner: "One of the tricks that authoritarian govts play is to label opponents.. as terrorists"

Both women were arrested yesterday.

Thank you Sky News for sharing the results of our undercover investigation.

It is a disgrace that synagogues are hosting Israeli real estate fairs selling land in illegal settlements in the West Bank.

One thing they don't tell you about the “push a button for a million dollars but someone you don't know dıės” hypothetical is that literally every billionaire is effectively pressing that button as much as they can all the time just because that's how exploitation works

Albanians take the Kushner fence down like its an illegal fence built by Israel in Gaza or the West Bank.

The Haya people of Tanzania were producing carbon steel in the year 100 AD, nearly 1,900 years before the process was independently developed in Europe. Their furnaces reached 1,800 degrees Celsius using preheated forced-draft technology that European metallurgists did not achieve until the Industrial Revolution. When anthropologists arrived to study it in the 1970s, the knowledge only survived because a few elderly men still remembered it. Cheap European steel had already put the Haya out of business decades earlier.

Africa did not need to be taught how to build. It needed to be left alone.

This is so sad man

[Puck @VRCPuck]

I need to be absolutely serious for once.

Never, EVER reply 'yes' or similar to tweets like this. In the UK you'll do 14 years in jail (not a joke). If you're abroad and visit, you'll be arrested at the airport.

Crazy that this tweet was made by a UK politician to trap people.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it.

I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it.

This needs to be escalated immediately.

Elon Musk's Mossad handler Nikita Bier, who was given an Iranian "girlfriend" while being a hideous freak, unilaterally decided to change Iran's official flag emoji for the Israeli funded and backed Pahlavi monarchist trash. He still hasn't changed it. Meanwhile in reality:
