You shared my Palantir post 600+ times. Good. Because this follow-up is even bigger. Read it. Share it. 🧵 🧵 PALANTIR. MANDELSON. STARMER. Follow the money. February 2025: Keir Starmer and Peter Mandelson visit Palantir's Washington HQ. Tour of facilities. Meeting with CEO Alex Karp. What Starmer didn't tell you: Palantir was a client of Mandelson's lobbying firm, Global Counsel. 4 months later: Palantir's UK CEO Louis Mosley joins the MoD's Industrial Joint Council — the government's own "main strategic mechanism for defence sector engagement." August 2025: Barnaby Kistruck leaves his role as MoD Director of Industrial Strategy. He helped write the UK's Strategic Defence Review. Nine days later, he joins Palantir as Senior Counsellor. He was their 4th ex-MoD hire that year. December 2025: Palantir awarded a £240.6 million MoD contract. No competitive tender. No open process. Direct award. Three times larger than any previous MoD deal with Palantir. 10 February 2026: MPs asked in the Commons whether Starmer knew Palantir was a Global Counsel client when he visited with Mandelson. The Defence Minister refused to answer. "That is a matter for Downing Street." The pattern: £1 COVID trial contract → £330m NHS contract (no tender) → £240m MoD contract (no tender) → Total: £570m+ to one US firm Mandelson's firm. Starmer's meeting. No competition. Taxpayers' money. Who exactly was this deal for?

No shock really hey. Only matters when they have brown skin

So over the past week we’ve had: Russell Brand being charged with more sex offences. A load of politicians/businessmen being involved with Epstein. David Walliams being sacked & dropped for inappropriate behaviour towards women… Yet none of the Reform lot are protesting?

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from Father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early, you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too. Saw this & thought I'd repost.

The mob is out in force. The more I see of this cruel “activism,” the more convinced I am that I do not want them anywhere near me or my music, however that may affect my career. I won’t be held to ransom—no more blackmail. What I see more than anything is a spoiled and entitled childishness. I am not interested in being their “mother” or “queen”; these babies need to grow up and allow artists like myself the dignity of opinion and the space and freedom to create. Or let them have AI pop star avatars that never question them. Let the music industry do its worst; let it continue to infantilize and exploit them. Let them have a hologram, perfectly designed for an insular, echo-chamber culture. Perhaps I’ve lived through the last moments of the best period in popular music and, in fact, it’s over—or at least it is at the beginning of the end. If that is so, I have nothing to lose. Just for the record, I have zero hate toward trans people; I do not deny anyone’s existence. The post that has caused such frantic panic among the trans activist mob is a graph that shows a steep decline in trans and non-binary identity in young people over the past few years in the USA. My declaration “it was never real” refers to the contagion that was undoubtedly aided by the submission of the media, captured medical institutions, and social media derangement. Recently, this wilfully blind and irresponsible behavior has been curtailed to some degree, as more and more people affected by it stand up and demand a long-needed audit of trans ideology, which continues to stamp its boot across anyone who decries its negative consequences. Children, families, women, and gay people have all been adversely affected by the insane belief that one can change sex—the core hallucination of this destructive and insidious movement—while bad faith actors have lined their pockets. The arts as a whole are a shadow of their former free and inclusive selves. I’ve had the most free and fun time possible making the music I believe in over the past 30 years. If being a compassionate artist is to be my downfall now, then so be it. I know in my heart that one day, I will be remembered as a brave person, both morally and artistically uncompromising. In the long run, that will be my legacy.

Abubaker Abed was in Parliament today saying “Palestine will resist. We will resist until the liberation.” On October 7 he posted that he hoped the “unprecedented reaction of Al-Qassam Brigades” would bring the “long-awaited liberation”. What on earth was he doing there?

I need everyone to understand how absolute batshit crazy this is

Our colleague and comrade Ellie Waple, who is a candidate for the UNISON NEC, has come under attack by some in the press for being a trans woman, standing for a woman’s seat on the NEC. Our branch stands in solidarity with Ellie 🏳️‍⚧️

CAMBORNE: David Roland Joseph, 47, caught with 3,000 child s*xual abuse images & videos incl. 1YO babies, has walked free. Defence said due to his autism, Joseph needs help in the community as he'd be 'vulnerable in prison'. More likely due to being a n0nce... 25 days 'rehab'

This is Birmingham, UK. A father protecting his family got stabbed in the neck by three “youths” who recorded the whole thing and mocked him as he bled out on the street.
