Hi Tom,
NHS consultant here.
The NHS is supported by impressive, innovative and ground breaking technologies provided by a wide range of outstanding multinational corporations.
It is a false dichotomy to suggest to people that if we want good health care, we must align with genocide supporting organisations like Palantir.
Hope that helps.

Later today protesters will demand ‘No Palantir in our NHS’
While they protest, someone, somewhere will get an operation scheduled earlier, a cancer diagnosis quicker, a loved one home from hospital sooner - thanks to the software that those protesters would switch off.
Here is what you won’t hear. Trusts using the software have recorded:
• 117,000 additional operations
• 14.3 per cent reduction in discharge delays for long stay patients
• 5.6 per cent improvement in the number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis within 28 days
As a more articulate person once said: ‘certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.’

The UK is one of the richest countries in the world.
So, why are so many people struggling?
Simple: too much wealth is concentrated at the top. Here's how modest taxes, on those who can most afford it, could transform lives across the country. What would you spend it on?

The same lies still being pumped out
Loughborough uni did a study of media appearances by politicians campaigning for remain during the referendum campaign. Of Labour figures, Corbyn topped the list with 123 appearances. Alan Johnson (who ran Labs remain campaign) made just 19

Andy Burnham's speech today didn't even offer jam tomorrow. It was, at best, bread and dripping tomorrow and that's simply not good enough when the UK is world's fifth biggest economy.

We have a progressive tax system, right? 🤔
Mostly, yes. But at the very top, something strange happens..
Average tax rates paid:
💷 Top 10% → 39%
💷 Top 1% → 37%
💷 Top 0.1% → 34%
💷 Top 0.01% → 30%
And 1 in 4 of the ultra-rich pay 20% or less.

Jam tomorrow, but not today. Good things at some point in the future, but not today. Change which might happen after an election, or an inquiry, or some other event. But not today. Or this year. Or next year.
A new National Care Service. Greater public control of water, energy, and housing. A National Commission on Electoral Reform. Strengthening our relationship with Europe. Reforming the education and welfare system.
Today I set out a different path for Britain.
You may disagree with some or all of what I have said today. But I have given you what you often say is missing from politics.
Honesty, ideas and a clear direction for the country we all love.
If you agree with enough of what I have said, get behind this plan. And get behind each other.
It's time to draw a line.
To move beyond a decade of drift and division.
To bring a spirit of unity and positivity back to our country.
To unlock the working-class aspiration that is still there in every postcode.
To hope again.

Ending the triple lock, and using the savings to underwrite the AI companies
🚨 WATCH: Andy Burnham says he will create a "global code" for AI so Britain can "capture the benefits"
"We led the world's first industrial revolution from the Midlands and the North of England. So why can't we lead the next one? We can, and we will"

The level of cynicism here is quite breathtaking. By referring to ‘bombs and bullets’ specifically, he seeks to mislead people into believing we don’t supply weapons. But weapons involve a lot more than simple ‘bombs and bullets’. We *do* supply drone, plane & missile components.
'We don't supply bombs and bullets to Israel that contribute to the occupation.'
Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband opposes 'grannies and vicars' from Palestine Action being labelled as 'terrorists'.

Giving the top 1% of the population a sweetheart tax deal (so they pay lower rates than the rest of us), for hoarding nearly a quarter of the country’s wealth isn’t a clever way to run an economy.
Instead we should incentivise productive investment & tax wealth like work.

I was an Israeli soccer player (youth level) fan and sports writer. I’ve been to thousands of games and in each one I heard at least one racist chant at black players or Arab players. There is no such thing as a game without them. Israel is racist to the core.

Several months of politicians, pundits, and retired generals fanning out to say "fuck your schools, fuck your hospitals, and absolutely fuck your pensions into the sun, we've got a war to fight with Russia". A bit late for this smol bean "can't we focus on local issues" drivel.
BBC Host: "Zacks talked a lot about Gaza. Thats not a local issue is it. Thats not going to improve peoples lives there"
Saying that genocide is bad & we shouldn't be funding, arming or supporting the regime doing it. What a terrible person! How dare he, right?

Between September 5-8, Iran claimed hits on U.S. warships in several different engagements. CENTCOM denied any casualties, and claims to have successfully evaded all attacks.

The Man City judgement has possible consequences that are as wide ranging as when Armstrong was revealed to have won all his TdFs doped up. Also similar as suspect many others were doing similar shit.

It's weird that politicians who want to "encourage more people into work" never support abolishing landlords or 100% inheritance tax.

Iran’s UN Representative on Netanyahu:
The UN was founded to preserve peace and uphold justice, not to serve as a platform for war criminals.
How can a person who is currently facing proceedings before two international courts for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide be allowed to be present in this assembly?
Does he belong at this podium to justify his crimes or in the dock of a court of law to answer for genocide?
