Wow.. I was trying to create a new word to describe journalists who well .. just don’t carry out their position in the tradition sense and with public expectations. I made up the word ‘Germalism’ and then found out someone got there before me 🤣
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.
Once again, Tony Blair is wrong and advocates to make ordinary people worse off.
Britain has one of the lowest effective state pension entitlements in the whole of Europe.

In 2019, I warned that the NHS was being sold off to private U.S companies.
The media's response? I was peddling Russian propaganda.
One of those companies is Palantir, a company that has enabled genocide in Gaza. We were right then — and we are right now: Kick Palantir out.
John McDonnell, "What we've seen is No 10 overriding, interfering, pressurising civil servants, we can't go on like this"
"Keir Starmer's office controls everything, he wasn't listening to any of us"
"As soon as Mandelson's name came into the frame I told Keir Starmer if you appoint this person, people will think you've lost all sense of judgment"
"Keir Starmer never listened, what happened McSweeney took control"
"No leader should allow that to happen"
This is how you handle the ‘liar’ word without calling anyone a ‘liar’.
She’s the Mother of the House for a reason.
MPs who have been MPs for ages should know how to handle this.
I gathered from Robbins' testiomony that Mandelson's friendship with Epstein - if I got this right - wasn't an issue. (Wot??? Did these nice polite men in suits just ignore the fact that the future ambassador to the US was a buddy with the world's worst pedophile? )
@Edwina_Currie So sorry that your parents choose the wrong school! I loved school dinners they gave us proper dinners with deserts. There is even a Facebook page sharing the recipes. When pasta, burgers and chips took over it was a big mistake!
@gaoblai@SocialistNIRE @DemSocsYP @Tom_Gann People have been waiting for years for Jeremy to set up a new party. Those that did this are the same people & other parties in Labour that didn’t like Jeremy and so trashed the development of CLPs under his leadership. They like the policies but not him. Totally selfish.
@tontytrains@DemocraticBloc@Jen4TruroAndFal It was on the official website. Not sure about the unofficial membership portal I can’t remember seeing it there. I joined both however I received a refund from the unofficial one after I wrote a letter to them with support from my bank who Rtn the DD.
For those who need reminding what the vote around Dual Membership at our founding conference actually stated:
'Option A — Dual Membership with aligned allied parties
Members shall be permitted to hold membership in other national political parties where they have been approved by the CEC as aligning with the Party’s values, to include those with whom the Party cooperates electorally. The approved list shall be subject to ongoing CEC review and annual ratification by National Conference.'
This is not about individuals feelings or what certain people want others to believe. This is about what the actual wording says. This is about democracy not distortion.
Some individuals, whether through malicious intent or sheer ignorance, need to recognise the damage they are doing by spreading a false narrative around the vote. Dual membership was voted on but it clearly stipulates that the CEC must approve and ratify organisations.
The CEC did exactly that yesterday, agreeing by majority, including my submitted amendment to allow for TUSC to be an approved organisation.
Please don’t allow those who are not fully committed to our Party to cause further unnecessary damage and division. I remain optimistic. This was a crucial step to allow branches to form without further delay or the likelihood of infiltration.
We must root every single bit of privatisation out of our NHS, ensure fair pay for all staff and expand universal healthcare.
Patients over Palantir’s profits.
