Greater Manchester Patients Not Passports

Borders in the NHS. Immigration detention. Two egregious breaches of rights; different expressions of the same system of dehumanisation. Dismantling one is a great stride towards dismantling the other 👇

We stand together. We act together. We win together. Because a win in one campaign is a win for us all, and winning rests on knowledge sharing, solidarity building and collective action. Proud to support the National Week of Solidarity to End Immigration Detention. ✊

We and 120+ organisations across Europe are calling on our governments to cut ties with Palantir for good! @corporateeurope.org @epsu.bsky.social

In Albert Square for the People vs Palantir Day of Action ✊ Our Campaigner @cameronboyle95.bsky.social drew the links between Palantir and the Hostile Environment: Both are “hostile forces that violate the right to health, violate health and data sovereignty and facilitate state violence.”

It’s time to build power. ✊ See you at 7pm.

Omisha was just 10 months old when she was diagnosed with liver cancer. She received a liver transplant a few months later. Then, her parents received a £76,000 bill for her treatment. Join us at @levyoldlibrary.bsky.social tomorrow for the launch of our ‘Resisting NHS Charging’ exhibition. 7pm.

We have just published our 2026 report that shares the impact we have had on the lives of the people we have supported across the year🫂 The report also captures our achievements from another year of pushing for a fairer and more compassionate immigration and asylum system: gmiau.org/storage/asse...

🚨 Manchester people! TOMORROW, the Council will vote on a motion saying #NoPalantirInTheNHS. Both Manchester-based NHS Trusts currently use Palantir's Federated Data Platform (FDP). Let's ensure that changes. Ask your Councillor to back the motion 👇 www.emailyourmp.com/palantir.htm

GP practices are cutting ties with the NHS Federated Data Platform built by Palantir, the US firm arming ICE with patient health data. Sharing patient data with immigration enforcement keeps sick people from doctors. Palantir poisons the whole system. Good on them for drawing the line.

The UK government is making upwards of £4.9bn in profit from visa fees, citizenship fees & the immigration health surcharge. Meanwhile, people are getting into thousands of pounds of debt or going without food just to afford to these immigration fees. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

📢 NO Palantir in our NHS - join the action on Thu 1 Oct Palantir's controversial NHS contract is up for renewal. We're demanding the govt ends this deal for good. Part of a global #PeopleVsPalantir week of action. Find your local protest: www.amnesty.org.uk/issues/inter...

I am MC'ing this exciting event - who'd want to miss that? 🎤

'Women who have experienced immigration detention have been telling us for years that detention deepens trauma, damages mental health, and separates them from the people they love' @4refugeewomen.bsky.social @aviddetention.bsky.social @sdvisitors.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2026/07/immi...

If you keep the NHS's budget the same but DOUBLE how much it pays for drugs, there is only one result: Patients suffer, and many die. Andy Burnham must rip up the US-UK pharma deal. Sign the petition: vist.ly/5be3y

The government is under pressure. There’s still time to stop “earned settlement”. Write to your MP today to ask them to speak up for our communities. To find out how to use this digital postcard or write to your MP another way, read our blog: gmiau.org/write-to-you...

🚨 ANOTHER parliamentary committee has urged the government to trigger the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract! Committee chair @laylamoran.bsky.social said: "Little by little, the government’s arguments for sticking with the FDP has unravelled" 👀 Get them out!

🚨The UK-US pharma deal with Trump will cost 229,000 lives in England. The deal is so bad that the editor of the British Medical Journal says it suggests "We’ll kill our poor people to make your rich companies richer”. Dear Andy Burnham, tear up this deal as Prime Minister. Thank you.

Along with @justtreatment.org & 17 other health related orgs and unions as part of the SOS NHS Coalition, we have written to prospective PM @andyburnham.bsky.social to ask him to meet us, and to urgently change course on the NHS. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

🚨 BREAKING: We've joined with 18 other health campaign groups and unions to write to @andyburnham.bsky.social, urging him to invest in the NHS and protect our health service from profit-making corporations - including ditching the dangerous US-UK pharma deal. ⬇️

Our hard work in Greater Manchester paying off at the national level. Andy, we'll be watching to ensure you see this through. #NoPalantirInTheNHS ✊

🚨Burnham set to ditch Palantir from NHS We hope that this is true but we need to see concrete commitment and until we have that we won't stop fighting to get Palantir out of the NHS. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

In our latest blog post, our team share reading recommendations that have impacted and informed their organising. From novels and short stories to essay collections and poetry, we hope you learn as much from these reads as we did. Read here: actbuildchange.com/stories/ener... #ReadingRecs

Great to see a mention of our and @justtreatment.org's work in Parliament as MPs called for gov to come clean on the true costs of the US-UK medicines deal. This deal with Trump could cost BILLIONS, and hundreds of thousands of lives - yet has not been subject to a democratic vote.

Get Palantir out of our NHS. A secretive US spy tech firm with deep Trump ties has no business holding our health data. Add your name: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

Did you see our big news? 🎉 Earlier this month,our CEO Zrinka Bralo won the prestigious Long Term Achievement Award with @smkcampaigners.bsky.social The courage of refugees is silenced in mainstream narratives, so this award is incredibly powerful for all of us More ➡️ smk.org.uk/awards_nomin...

Go Sheff! #NoPalantirInTheNHS 🩺✊

An incredible few days of collective learning and activism at our youth summer school last week! We loved speaking, organizing and strategizing for the future together ✊🏽 Get involved in our youth network: www.globaljustice.org.uk/get-involved...

We're honoured to share 'Fragments of Existence': a free resource bringing together powerful testimonies from families and young people living under No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF). These stories demand to be heard. nrpfintheshadows.com/learn-more/#... #NRPF #MigrantRights #SocialJustice

Outside the NHS ConfedExpo this morning, taking a stand against Palantir’s involvement in the NHS! 🇵🇸✊ (Yes, this is what June in Manchester looks like 🌧️🙃)

🚨 Last week MPs from across the political spectrum demanded Palantir be kicked out of the NHS. This only happened because thousands of us have pressured MPs & 65,000+ have written to their NHS trust demanding they ditch Palantir. Join us: notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...

Remove Palantir from our NHS. Get Palantir out of our country. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

The Palantir debate is TOMORROW. This evil spy-tech firm should be dismantled, let alone be paid millions to handle our health data. Email your MP now 👇 www.amnesty.org.uk/get-involved...

2 in 5 international health workers are considering leaving the UK - many because they no longer feel welcome amid hostile rhetoric. New findings from @unison.org.uk show settlement changes would be a disaster for patients, staff & the British public alike. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Write to your MP and let them know how you feel about a foreign data mining company holding your sensitive NHS data. A company that has let ICE use data held on US citizens to deport or detain. That the Swiss army refused to use. That works with the IDF in Israel. #NoPalantir in our NHS

We were never consulted on Palantir gaining access to our health data. But we've since made our views known. And in just 4️⃣ DAYS, MPs will debate activating the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. Tell you MP to do the right thing 👇 www.amnesty.org.uk/get-involved...

Palantir, the controversial US company linked to Trump’s ICE agency and the Israeli military has secured major NHS contracts involving our health data. 38d.gs/sitl

Good to see this from children's charities among many others: earned settlement reforms likely to have especially negative impact on children and families on low income including by punishing families for accessing much needed benefits www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
