The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking.
The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.
I’d like to say ‘I don’t have words’ but I do . Debased , vile , cruel , inhuman , regressive and incalculably selfish . They will stop at nothing in a race to the bottom . https://t.co/QSptpXXLIJ
Of course he did. Palantir hired Tom Watson to schmooze his old pals. And he did.
There is no world in which Palantir helps boost "the UK's tech sovereignty". We need to know exactly how @YvetteCooperMP made this decision, based on what evidence & what data?
When Brand hid in plain sight he posed as a left wing liberal "thinker"
When the left started outing him for what he was he quickly ran to the far right for protection under 'conservative Christianity'
Now the far right either paint him as a persecuted martyr or blame the left
The left worshipped Brand for several years. Guardian columnists fawned over him. The New Statesman let him edit an edition. Ed Miliband appeared in a video with him. This is discoverable from a simple Google search.
Times reports govt renewing NHS-Palantir contract over fear of patient disruption..proving*exactly* what critics have been saying. That we’re in a technofascist trap.

Palantir’s Tom Watson, ex-Labour MP, wrote to Yvette Cooper last month saying the controversial US company could help boost the UK’s tech sovereignty, letters show. Weeks later, sources say the UK is extending its NHS contract for two more years

@SammiePressdee@_aimzzz_ Why is it "infuriating"?
Have you asked every man if that's how they'd feel (I wouldn't, for example)
You're excusing men for being angry at being told no, whilst simultaneously blaming women for that anger.
You are not the spokesperson for all women, or men.
RB is a rapist!
LBC ‘s Ben Kentish says @zeteouk is “quickly becoming what many suspected it would.” Oh, yeah, Ben, what’s that then? You’ve switched off your replies so guess we’ll never know. BTW Kentish your “evidence” of ( one assumes antisemitism) is *you* slating a Jewish woman for interviewing a Jewish man about… antisemitism 🙄
@mehdirhasan@rivkahbrown@BenKentish
@PeterOuld@catman28898 Ah, the good old biblical gaslighting.
I asked you 2 questions. Not mentioned whether I've prayed for the victims, & you made assumptions.
I know I most likely hold more Christian values than you do, & understand the scripture you blaspheme better than you do.
@PeterOuld@catman28898 Would biblical justice not have seen him stoned, or is that just saved for women speaking out, according to your book?
Would it not be the Christian thing to pray for the victims of Brand's violent abuse, before praying for Brand's redemption?
gfy.
The Bank of England has raised interest rates to 4%, supposedly to tackle inflation.
There is just one problem with this decision. The Bank knows that much of the inflation we are suffering is being driven by rising oil and energy prices, largely resulting from conflict in the Middle East.
It also knows that raising interest rates cannot reduce those prices.
So why is it doing this?
The answer is that the Bank believes it must suppress demand elsewhere in the economy to compensate for rising energy costs.
In other words, it is deliberately making mortgages more expensive, increasing business borrowing costs, discouraging investment and reducing household spending power.
And all this when people are already struggling with higher energy bills. That is problem number one.
There is, however, another problem. Higher interest rates increase costs for businesses, which can then feed through into higher prices. They can, in that case, add to inflation rather than reduce it.
The Bank is imposing economic pain to address a problem its chosen policy cannot directly solve.
That is not sound economic management. It is the consequence of an economic dogma that refuses to recognise the difference between inflation caused by excessive demand and inflation caused by supply shocks.
When will we learn?
It takes a certain type of brain rot and/or flagrant dishonesty to argue that a Jewish lawyer being interviewed by a Jewish journalist and praised by another Jewish journalist constitutes a campaign against Jewish children – but that's Ben Kentish for you!
