Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior VP at Palantir UK, wrote to me defending their public contracts. Instead of trading letters, I’ve challenged him to an open, public debate. He can defend Palantir’s ethos; I’ll argue for public accountability. Will you accept, Tom?

Members of the Patriotic Alliance are stopping cars with non-white people in them and harassing them like this. This is a hate crime, arrest these people.

My partner was looking at radiators on line last night. This morning, Facebook has been giving me adverts for radiators. Separate devices, same Wi-Fi lan. How does that happen?

A protester was struck over the head with a walking stick at Reform UK’s conference. Lee Anderson joked about a “quick whip-round” for the man whose stick was damaged. The bigger issue is what political leaders legitimise when they laugh at violence against protesters.

The thug with a stick is Stephen Cooling. He is a Reform member who previously stood as a UKIP candidate in Erdington. He needs to be arrested for assault. This is happening whilst Nigel Farage jokes about it from the podium. #corruptfarage#reformthugs#reformfascists

This AI Chatbot Pushes Conversion Therapy on Trans Users It claims to give users the ability to “talk to 60,000+ detransitioners” but it’s actually built on 2,700 posts from ‘gender critical’ transphobes on a detrans subreddit! The AI bot is also promoted by anti-trans lobby group ‘Genspect’! 😖

So for people outside Northern ireland, the DUP are blocking an employment rights bill because they don't want unions to have access to workplaces. What this means in practice is that N.Ireland remains a bastion of terrible working conditions - including exploitation through zero hours contracts.

Cofnas is a member of the community that Hope Not Hate went undercover to expose last year, as shown on C4. They all contribute to Aporia, a legacy of The Pioneer Fund. You’d think this would be common knowledge among journalists.

Can we change the law so that Labour Party members aren’t allowed to use toilets and changing rooms? And Jk Rowling gets to fund legal cases against anyone pro Labour.

“The wand chooses the wizard.” 🪄 And in this case, it chose Oxford Street. Congratulations to Warner Bros on the UK’s largest Harry Potter shop. Another brilliant new destination for the West End, and proof that Oxford Street is well and truly on the up.

Driving back from London…. Three phones started screeching simultaneously. Suspect similar stuff going on in every car near us. Amazed there wasn’t a crash which could have started a wild fire.
