The NHS data given to Palantir hasn't been anonymised so actually the USA/Israeli spy company has every single person's Medical Records. And they have even been paid £330m to steal them. AND the deal has been shown to have no measurable improvement on the NHS.

Dear BBC News, Showing a video of an easily definable war crime (Russia in Ukraine) with the phrase "which Ukraine have said is a war crime" is the same mealy mouthed BS you do every time a war crime is committed in Gaza "according to the Hamas-run health ministry". If it's a war crime just say it.

Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

The President of the United States is a liar and has been convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Might be helpful to read today's column in conjunction with this one, from January, as they point to the same root cause: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot

There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Great post from Otti Vogt about leadership responses to the #Ceuta crisis. www.linkedin.com/posts/ottivo...

#leadership | Otti Vogt | 35 comments

GRACIAS PEDRO! Europe’s Last True Prime Minister Last week, Ceuta was not merely a border emergency. It was a moral X-ray of Western politics. In forty-eight hours, 72,000 people entered the enclave...

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Every decent voter must do everything possible to stop this lying, division causing, grifter from becoming Prime Minister. He is a man paid for & backed by incredibly shady billionaires and convicted fraudsters. Nigel Farage & Reform do not care about Britain, just the cha ching of money.

Fact for those arguing with grandad/ma. "Our research illustrates this vividly. When we recreated the atmospheric conditions of the 1976 UK heatwave under today’s climate, peak temperatures were around 3-4°C higher. The weather pattern was the same; the climate in which it occurred had changed."

‘Was this heatwave caused by climate change?’ – we’re asking the wrong question

Instead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.

Perimeters, not parameters. An excursion, not an incursion. Six genders, not cisgender. Insane asylums, not asylum. Transgender mice, not transgenic mice. The IQ of a potato.

And they couldn't resist BRAGGING about it

He's planning to do it AGAIN.

72 more people killed in a scheme masterminded by Israel. When will Europe stop funding and supporting the terrorist network that is Israel?

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

It just keeps on coming… Farage struck deal to return as leader long before Sunak called surprise 2024 vote, so his claim that he wasn’t involved in politics when he got his £5million “gift” is, of course, another grubby lie. The man is garbage. Grifting, lying, cheating garbage. (Sunday Times)

Once again, I think we can all agree that the real story here is Kemi Badenoch’s miraculous resurrecting of Tory fortunes.

Like so many other things, it was a deranged lie from a sick, twisted, demented scumbag who uses narcissists and unqualified hacks to do his dirty work because, besides being a soulless windbag devoid of normal human emotions and morality, fundamentally he’s a coward.

This is not ‘rogue AI’, this is AI run by rogues.

"Dear Diary, had an enjoyable day stirring up my ignorant base by pretending that migrants on a Spanish territory in North Africa will somehow be arriving in Dover any time now"

Just one half-witted military age fascist shit stirring about a non issue in Africa.

Let's think about this sudden "50 000 migrants invading Spain/Europe" event. Why now? Who benefits? What is happening and how it is being used? Good points made here.

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Grest read from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Successive govts in UK have succumbed to a global campaign to cancel our fundamental freedoms, a campaign led by oligarchs & corporations, the media they own & the junktanks they fund. A campaign that has become definitional for the second Trump presidency

Think our basic rights are safe? In the age of oligarchs and corporate lobbying, think again | George Monbiot

The global assault on our freedoms is coming ever closer to home. Just look at the sinister prosecution of UK lawyer Rajiv Menon, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

For those who don't believe climate change is real: open your eyes. Droughts, heatwaves, severe weather, flooding. The climate crisis is claiming lives right now. We must urgently speed up the transition to net zero. There’s still time to save our planet, but that time is running out fast.🌍

More than half of England in drought, Environment Agency declares

The drought declarations follow an exceptionally hot and dry period, which has hit rivers, crops and nature.

Sorry, but I think this is absolutely 100% America. This IS who America is. It’s what the U.S. has always been. They had nice words of light on a hill and hope; but that’s all they were…words. The U.S. is the Devil. It spilt blood into the soil form day one. Let’s stop pretending.

Burnham urgently needs to engage on this. Retaining Mahmood as Home Secretary is a disastrous start. Let's hope he sees sense. Nothing is safe from the billionaire assault on humanity. None of our rights, however ancient & familiar, are impregnable. Fight for them now or lose them, perhaps for ever.

At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
