Life is just a bowl of peas... 🐝

[Dovey Marr 🕊️ @doveyymargeauxx]

Sorry but this is getting a bit too cosy for comfort. 🤦🏻‍♀️

So.. Martha Dalton’s firm worked for Palantir.. then she worked on Lucy Powell’s deputy leadership campaign.. and then Andy Burnham’s campaign that got him back into Parliament and eventually into No10.

Palantir literally has a £330 million NHS contract hanging in the balance.. and now former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson has joined them too.

And these are just some of the Labour names connected to Palantir:

🥀 Martha Dalton.. co founded Lodestone, which worked for Palantir.

🥀 Lucy Powell.. Dalton worked on her deputy leadership campaign.

🥀 Andy Burnham.. Dalton then worked on the campaign that got him back into Parliament.

🥀 Tom Watson.. former Labour deputy leader, now working for Palantir.

🥀 Peter Mandelson.. his firm Global Counsel previously worked for Palantir.

🥀 Keir Starmer.. visited Palantir’s Washington offices while PM.

At what point does this deserve proper scrutiny? Because I say now. 🤔

[CrémantCommunarde #GreenTransitionNow 💚 @0Calamity]

I'm going to say this again in clear, simple terms so there can be no equivocation:
Prior to Brexit, immigrants very rarely came to the UK in small boats because it is an extremely dangerous mode of transport. They came in lorries. Organised smuggling gangs knew that because there was free movement of goods between EU countries that there was a high chance that a lorry concealing immigrants would not be searched.
I am sure you all remember that terrible case of a lorry-load of migrants from China and Vietnam that was abandoned in Essex. 31 men and 8 women died.
The onset of Brexit meant that gradually, from approx 2018 onwards, more and more stringent checks began being carried out on lorries, as well as increased security at ferry ports - even Newhaven-Dieppe are surrounded with high barbed wire security fences, and every vehicle leaving Dieppe is opened and checked, so I imagine it must be pretty much the same at Calais and Boulogne as well.
We have no idea how many people a year arrived in the UK unlawfully by lorry. The reason for this is because they were literally untrackable. Occasionally you would see a lorry stopped by the M2 or the M25 with a handful of people standing behind the safety barrier while the police had the blue lights on. But they certainly could not track what they didn't know about.
The likelihood is that there were a great many more people getting into the country. The overwhelming majority of them would disappear into the undergrowth, never to be seen again until either
a) they committed an offence
b) they were caught in raids working illegally
c) they either walked into a police station to claim asylum almost immediately or
d) they popped over the parapet several years later because they wanted to regularise their status, either by marrying, or because they had children, or under the Long Residence rules - it used to be 15 years but is now 20 years. If you can prove you have been in the UK continuously for 20 years and have otherwise kept your nose clean, you are entitled to limited leave to remain. Eventually you might get settlement after 30 years - again, if you can prove you have always been in the country in that time. You will not get nationality if you entered the country illegally these days, though, unless you can show that there is something exceptional about your contribution to society.
The small boats are different. The small boats are highly visible. The small boats - and their passengers - are very easy to spot, and very easy for the Coastguard and Border Force to track. A man from the BBC used to spend all his time stood on a cliff counting them post-Brexit.
Yes, there will be the occasional one that slips through undetected. But that is the opposite of the way it was with lorry smuggling, where it was the occasional one that was actually detected, and the majority slipping through un-noticed.
The irony of Farage, Lowe, Robinson, Tommo and all the other far-right screechers claiming we are unsafe because of "fighting age men" arriving on these boats is hilarious if it wasn't so desperate. When the boats arrive, every person is fingerprinted, screened and vetted as best we can, although another irony of Brexit is we no longer have automatic access to Europol except if we have grounds to suspect someone is a criminal rather than just an asylum seeker, so well done Brexit for that as well.
Also, as we are no longer party to what's called the Dublin Agreement, whereas before we could make an application to France to take them back, and take responsibility for the asylum claim, now we are out of the EU we can't do that either.
But at least we know who is here, we have their fingerprints, and we know who they are.
In short, we are arguably safer from the "fighting age men" now that at any time in the past 30-odd years. The numbers are reducing. The numbers of crossings are reducing.
I hold no candle for Labour these days, but at least they are processing the backlog the Tories (deliberately?) built up and those who don't have the right here are being deported as well.
Boris Johnson is as full of shit as he always was.

Talking to locals in #Portsmouth and it turns out @RealDannyTommo is VERY unpopular in his own manor!

Let’s explore why…

In 2016, after a failed career in the British Army (not surprising if you’ve ever seen him try to fight)
Tommo decided to branch out into… KIDNAPPING

No, this is not a joke.

UK Lawyers for Israel are trying to proscribe *Médecins Sans Frontières*.

That’d mean they’d be treated as terrorists.

On the same legal footing as ISIS.

Membership would mean 14 years in prison.

This is what we’re dealing with

He knew in advance, then did nothing for 7 hours before deploying the Hannibal Directive killing hundreds of Israelis with tanks and helicopter gunships... then the genocide in Gaza...
...all to save his own political skin.

All true.

As I regularly post, he raised money supposedly for therapy for grooming survivors including a friend of mine.

When they asked where it was they were told HE HAD USED
IT TO GO ON HOLIDAY because he’d been ‘working so hard’!

The rest of the money was given to

This is a HUGE police failure.

I’d been asking for days why Danny Tommo was able to swan about the UK, OPENLY building a ‘patriot’ army & threatening action.

HE DID IT ALL PUBLICLY. Posted on here.

Police are supposed to keep an eye on Robinson’s thugs

What the hell happened?

[AxoAndy @AxoAndy]

Yesterday Andrew Tate was indicted on Child Sex Trafficking charges

Nigel Farage thinks he is “an important voice for young men”

And as a bonus, here is Dan Jukes having dinner with Tate

[kerry ✊💙Dont let Farage kill our NHS @hewitson10]

Seeing @SarahForRuncorn slating Labour for attitudes towards women & girls is hypocrisy level completed

Yesterday women were assaulted in the Reform conference hall by walking stick warrior male patriots & she hasn’t said a fucking word👇

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Farage poured scorn on it
Dorries laterally said the should not expect gentle treatment
Yusuf actually condemned it

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

This is utterly chilling and Kafkaesque. An outrageous assault of free speech and media independence.

The Canary is a legitimate media outlet, independently regulated, and is being driven out of business. This will put its journalists in a position of serious hardship as they can't be paid.

And the crazy thing is that they don't even know why the accounts are being closed and have no way of rebutting evidence they can't see!

This is the second time The Canary has been targeted by phantom allegations made by faceless actors. This absolutely STINKS of political targeting.

A country that shuts down journalism challenging the status quo and putting grannies in prison for holding signs... where are we going?

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

Verbatim went undercover in Reform. Nigel Farage has some very serious questions to answer 👇

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

Stages in a Reform scandal:

1. This is a hit-job from the left / the establishment
2. We didn't do anything wrong, it's a hoax
3. There's a recording? Well, we didn't break any laws
4. We're going to hold an internal investigation
5. People who aren't Nigel Farage resign
6. Nigel Farage says the matter is closed

@TUFCAde @MittensOff Rosaries are not worn around the neck. Doubt he knows how they are actually used

[G.T @gingerrtom]

Two white men with balaclavas on, staring menacingly into a car with children inside, is completely okay.

A black man lying on grass, minding his own business, is not okay.

This is the far-right in Britain.
