Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick".

Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform.

There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record.

The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

The UK has the lowest pension in the developed world. Every pensioner paid National Insurance payments for their pension.

The Heritage study funded by the government states the annual cost to the U.K. economy from #ME and #LongCovid exceeds £12 billion.
That’s £32.8 million a day to the U.K. economy.

Yesterday they pledged £4.75 million for research.

This makes no economic nor humanitarian sense.

[John Milne MP 🔶 @JohnMilneLD]

🟠 On #WorldMEDay, I’m proud to stand with Action for ME as a parliamentary champion for people living with the condition. It is estimated that around 1.3 million people in the UK are living with ME or ME-like symptoms, which can often be associated with Long Covid.

A leaked document reveals Palantir staff are being granted “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data.

Blair is a essentially unregistered lobbyist for Larry Ellison. He’s taken hundreds of millions of pounds from one of the most powerful tech moguls on the planet, and has had a hugely influential role on this government’s tech policy, including on sovereign AI. That his daughter in law now has this top job is another point of influence in a sophisticated influencing operation that’s gone almost entirely uncovered by outlets, many of which have instead taken briefings from TBI & the politicians it’s close to. There are clearly conflicts of interest here that need to be disclosed in a public, transparent and accountable way.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.

This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.

We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Denmark just completed a 256-ft skyscraper built from timber, reclaimed windows, and retired wind turbine blades, and it emits 26% less CO2 than a conventional concrete building.

Starmer never spells out what his vision for the country is in any way that inspires the optimism and hope we need/want to feel for ourselves, our children and grandchildren. We know high dreams constantly get challenged by external events. But we still need to hope.

Basically the POLITICAL LEADERSHIP of the UK is determined to pose fundamental and recurring threats to MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS and PATIENT SAFETY. These decisions are POLITICAL CHOICES and designed to undermine the VIABILITY and REPUTATION of the NHS, and make it collapse

One thing you won't hear on the News is that the Green Party got the 2nd highest number of votes in the Local Election.

Ahead of everyone but Reform, and the Green vote is still growing.

NHS PRAISED THIS HOSPITAL AS ITS BEST. THEN POLICE OPENED A MANSLAUGHTER INQUIRY INTO 90 DEATHS.

Dr Mansoor Foroughi was a consultant neurosurgeon at Royal Sussex County Hospital (@UHSussex). Between 2018 and 2021 he raised patient safety concerns 17 separate times. He compiled a 70-page document detailing 19 deaths and 23 cases of serious patient harm. He described a group of senior consultants he called "the gang" who he says were overlooking death rates that had no business being that high.

The Trust sacked him for acting in bad faith.

Then came Operation Bramber. Sussex Police (@sussex_police) launched a criminal investigation in June 2023 that eventually covered over 200 cases, including more than 90 suspected manslaughters. They brought in the National Crime Agency. They started calling bereaved families.

Here is the part that should make you put down your coffee.

Jeremy Hunt (@Jeremy_Hunt), when he was Health Secretary, held up this Trust as the best in the entire NHS. A showpiece. A model for others to follow. The same hospital where a doctor was raising the alarm on a near-weekly basis and getting nowhere.

The court documents that revealed the full scale of Dr Foroughi's allegations were suppressed for six months. The Trust fought a legal battle to keep them sealed. The Times and BBC Newsnight eventually got them anyway.

Dr Foroughi did everything the system tells you to do. He documented it. He escalated it. He went back 17 times. He was fired for it.

NHS does not have a whistleblower problem. It has a management problem. The whistleblowers are working fine.
