The amazing @carolecadwalla on the Russia Brexit interference.

Finally @andyburnham admits it was true, and I still want to know why the other 5 PMs didn't admit it.

NEW: The big new Aaron Sorkin film The Social Reckoning opens tomorrow with a plot centred on Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen....but we need to talk about *another* Facebook whistleblower, Sarah Wynn-Williams. And why Zuck is gunning for her..

It’s dishonest & embarrassing to pretend I don’t exist & that Banks didn’t sue me as a result of this work. It contributes to the ongoing silence that’s accompanied this story for a decade. But most of all, it insults the readers.

What does "legitimate" even mean here? The Electoral Commission found massive breaches of electoral laws. It was the biggest case of electoral fraud in at least a century. And that's *before* considering question of Russian interference.

Of all the people who could cast some light on this subject, BBC Newsnight chose…Putin’s former spokesman?

It is extraordinary to see two #Palantir shills *attack a respected clinician* holding the Office of National Data Guardian, purely because they don't like her opinion.

Every clinician in the country should be outraged.

For interested readers, I highly recommend this great resource by @olizilla on the problems of the NHS FDP.

Not all of them are about the supplier.

In other news related to being creepy, ITcrowd Tom has learnt chatGPT, which is why his analysis is empty waffle - “AI 100%”

This is the sort of AI-generated drivel you get if you ask Claude to "disagree with this NDG letter in not less than 500 words"

It's also surprisingly similar to the letter @tom_watson wrote. Almost like they're both being fed by the same comms agency.

[Tom Bartlett @tom_nhs]

The National Data Guardian says public trust must weigh in the FDP decision. The evidence she used to measure it has the anti-Palantir campaign's fingerprints on every page. Palantir called it capture. Are they right?

[Marcus Baw @marcus_baw]

(It's only a matter of time before he blocks me, as he has done on LinkedIn)

[Marcus Baw @marcus_baw]

"Led the team that built the NHS FDP" but is strangely adamant that nobody except Palantir could build a replacement.

There's a contradiction there - he either "built it" - in which case he'd know how to build another one, in-house, open-source, and owned by the NHS.

[Tom Bartlett @tom_nhs]

I led the team that built the NHS Federated Data Platform. I've left NHS England and written down what I think the debate is getting wrong.

[Tom Watson @tom_watson]

Last week the National Data Guardian wrote to health minister James Frith. The concern is that her advice rested on evidence materially weaker than the confidence of her recommendations suggested.

[Dr David Nicholl @djnicholl]

@tom_watson @JamesFrith “Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits dead, there’s something wrong”

#Palantir I could go on, but you’re embarrassing yourself

[Marcus Baw @marcus_baw]

@tom_watson @JamesFrith Any argument including opt-outs is deliberately misleading, @tom_watson. Weak.

Opt-outs DO NOT APPLY TO DIRECT CARE.

FDP has quietly scope-drifted into Direct care over the life of the project, and so opt-outs have been pointless since *2023*.
