Dear BBC
You are under threat. You need support
Have you ANY idea how many people are furious with you because of @BBCNews & associated programs constant bias in favour of Israel?
We are NOT extremists. We are simply people with humanity and morals
There are MILLIONS of us

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?
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

JUSTICE for Brand's victims
BUT
NO JUSTICE for the victims of the rich & powerful men who raped girls and women supplied to them by Jeffrey Epstein

New headlines suggest Palantir is staying put in the NHS for a while longer. Here’s why that shouldn’t happen ❌
Invite your MP to an event that will expose the truth about the spy-tech firm 👇

Last year a woman was fined £150 for pouring a cup of coffee down a drain. Meanwhile, water companies are still pouring billions of litres of sewage into our rivers.

This is sort of akin to someone with appalling halitosis being given an extra strong mint, when really they need their rotten teeth pulled.

Our NHS belongs to patients, not Palantir.
Labour must put people before military tech companies and corporate profits.
ALT Green Party quote graphic featuring Zack Polanski, Leader of the Green Party, pictured on the right against a dark green background. Large white text on the left reads: “Labour is betraying us all by allowing the corporate capture of our most beloved institution - the NHS - by a genocide and Donald Trump supporting tech corporation.” The quote is attributed to Zack Polanski, Leader of the Green Party.
When are you going to open your ears and actually listen to the electorate @andyburnham? It's painfully obvious that you have zero interest in the welfare of the public, or what we want. You're a disgusting disgrace, and a shameful waste of political space.

Is the British judiciary deeply corrupted? It seems to be actively participating in & maintaining the criminal justice chaos that is one of the consequences of the indefensible proscription of Palestine Action

In 1998 Labour passed the Human Rights Act to enforce our rights to free speech and protest.
This week Burnham’s government told the Supreme Court a ban that made a 94-year-old human rights lawyer a terror suspect is lawful.
These are our hard-won rights. Labour now argues them away.

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.

In February the High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban unlawful. In June the Court of Appeal ruled it lawful.
Now the Supreme Court decides if it limits free speech too far. 4,000+ arrests. 1,200 charges. Lives on hold.
Burnham could end this today. He chose not to.

We do not need Andy Burnham’s permission to investigate Britain’s role in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
He refused an inquiry. 80,000 people answered him in thirteen days.
Truth does not need the Prime Minister’s signature. It needs 100,000 of ours.

🚨IMPORTANT🚨
Can I borrow you for a sec? This is important!
Did you know that in order just to repair buildings etc in the NHS in England that have been judged a “high risk” to patients and staff, they’d have to spend £3.7 billion?
Why is the media silent about this? Why aren’t the public being informed?🚨
Sound familiar?
In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. “Books cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column … Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, ‘Now at last you can read all the classics.’ … School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?”
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated “summaries” of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.
Good!
Big news! The High Court has just greenlit our legal challenge against Ofcom for letting TalkTV broadcast transphobic hate and misinformation.
We won't stop until this toxic far-right rhetoric is off our airwaves. Ofcom, we’ll see you back in court 👀
Help us stop this dangerous misinformation👇

Fantastic! So after an outlay of £44.2 billion, the line now runs from West London to... West London.
And the Labour regime are boasting about this.
In a big step forward, HS2 has now broken through at Old Oak Common, completing a 14km tunnel from West Ruislip.
This station will be one of the best-connected rail hubs in the country, bringing together HS2, the Elizabeth Line, Heathrow Express and GWR.
After years of mismanagement, we’re finally getting a grip and making progress.

Jeremy Corbyn: “Be one of the 100,000 who try to bring truth to something the government is trying to hide.”
70,000 signed in twelve days. Burnham refused an inquiry twice.
At 100,000, MPs must consider a debate on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The truth is 30,000 signatures away.

Over 100 groups in 15 countries are taking action this week to demand a halt to new AI data centres.
I fully oppose plans for a new AI data centre in Leeds and have tabled a Parliamentary Motion for a national moratorium.
