Ministers are refusing to publish vital briefings which contain significant material related to Palantir’s NHS software. As the deadline looms to renew the spy-tech firm’s £330m contract, they’re keeping us in the dark. We can't let them 👇 https://goodlaw.social/t8tf

I lost my career after refusing to keep quiet about the risks that Palantir poses to our NHS https://goodlawproject.org/forced-out-of-a-job-in-the-nhs-for-speaking-out-on-palantir/
I have just signed, my trust signed up but hasn't started using it yet but many have. 88,117 supporters have emailed. Let's get to 100,000
We have less than 2 months. This is the last push Tell your NHS Trust: Say no to Palantir! https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/
I've just found out my blood, taken at my GP surgery, is processed by Boa Vida health which is parented in the US. Maybe there is less to spend on patients cos we are now out sourcing services the #NHS once did to private US healthcare @andyburnham.bsky.social kick private equity out the #NHS 🙏
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social why was #ChrisMason #BBCNews at 6 report a bit light on discussing how Reform's donation by 2 people who could control the country through Farage and also more emphasis needs to be made about this 👇 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Is this ringing alarm bells for anyone else? 🚨🚨🚨 I have things to say about this and will be writing about it: jujuliagrace.substack.com www.cityam.com/how-the-nhs-...
@andyburnham.bsky.social please read 🙏
Who is really profiting from NHS waiting lists? Our latest report exposes how the reliance on insourcing is expanding as patients face delays. Instead of long-term investment in the NHS, private equity companies are making a profit from the queue. Read: everydoctor.org.uk/reports/prof...
This is sickening and would be on the news if it happened at any other political conference - common assault. Any other political leader would have condemned it... @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @vicderbyshire.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social
Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.
@andyburnham.bsky.social please get rid of all PFIs from our public services. Everything has gone wrong since the private sector got involved with the NHS, they have to make a profit for shareholders making money from people's fear and misery. Dentistry, opticians & mental health help included
Private equity firms are making money off NHS waiting lists. Our new report exposes how public NHS funding is being siphoned off for private profit through insourcing companies. Healthcare should be based on need, not profit margins. Read the full report: everydoctor.org.uk/reports/prof...

Private equity choking UK health and social care. Taking over mental health, elective care insourcing, patient transport, social care. Control of GP surgeries, IT systems gives PE access to patient records. PE devours everything. Profiteering leaves less for frontline services.

The Jason Arday story is by no means the biggest scandal at Cambridge University. I'm sure the media is going to pick this up and run with it in just the same way ... Or is the exaggerated CV of one Black professor somehow more important than this?

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*. It's utterly mad, and has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Interesting - it is almost like Gove's educational reforms and having to get in massive debt to go to Uni where critical thinking is encouraged (not a problem for the wealthy) had a purpose! Well practiced in the US too. natcen.ac.uk/news/educati... #education #rightwing #byelection

Private equity controls large parts of UK economy & public services. It is opaque, lacks transparency and accountability. PE conceals ownership, uses complex structures, financial engineering: shifts profits offshore, engages in tax abuse Little information Company law is not fit-for-purpose.

@andyburnham.bsky.social you probably have your own ideas but what @russincheshire.bsky.social suggests here is brilliant and would make our politics and our society work for all not the few, it would be fairer and would reintroduce standards & reduce public service being used to line pockets 🙏
If anybody cares (you shouldn't): what I'd do to revitalise Britain: 1. Randomly selected people's assemblies of 299 people (like a jury) to decide media regulation/complaints. They hear expert witnesses, and then decide. Depoliticise it, and abolish Ofcom (too open to abuse and political pressure)

Deeply alarming reports that Ministers overruled official advice on council reorganisation. Oxfordshire should be worried. Labour must not carve up our county to deliver Oxford City Council’s Greater Oxford dream. One Oxfordshire is the fairest, strongest option. www.thetimes.com/article/8c8a...

Still no apology from Brexiteers who fed us a pack of lies "These estimates suggest by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time.

Emails sent, thank you for all of your work on this @goodlawproject.org
The UK is starting to reject Palantir. Be part of the movement and email your local NHS Trust https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/
When you debate this today please be aware that not all of us are happy about this and if you choose Palantir to be the data handler you have to give patients the right to opt out #NHS @houseofcommons.parliament.uk @jamesmurrayldn.bsky.social BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
