The true face of ReformUK!😡 It’s not looking out to defend the safety interests of 🇬🇧!
Farage courts support from Trump & Musk. He takes every opportunity to divide & devalue communities!
The party has now become the new nursing home for failed, sacked & incompetent Tories!

Anyone know if King Charles is going to get a sick note to avoid kissing the Trump ring again at the US independence celebrations…
or is he just straight up gonna say he is just not playing Trump’s games any more.

Indeed. A party invite for public officials, to be held in Mayfair no less, by a company that has recently been awarded a £240m public contract.
The competition would be livid - had there been any.
Not a good look as the govt resets itself. Palantir hosts party for MOD and others to celebrate its new defence contract promoted by Mandelson’s PR company. www.thetimes.com/article/2ecb...

I thought her father stole all the journalists’ pension funds, then he fell off his yacht. How come she got so much? Did the journalists get their pensions?

Check out my conversation with @joannacoles.bsky.social of The Daily Beast, where we discuss Donald Trump’s monomaniacal urge to name the nation after himself and pin down the long reckoning coming for Trump’s cabinet, enablers, and allies.

Maybe Simons’ singling out of “UK journalists” is intentional.

One of those targeted, Paul Holden, is South African. Another APCO report said his work for an outlet funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundation “represented a significant leverage point”.

Peter Mandelson is telling the truth on one thing: the idea he was bought for a $4k “bursary” or a $75k gift is ridiculous

The real incentive was a post-government payday - one so big he *rejected* a $3–5m-a-year offer

And Epstein enabled that payday

Here’s the evidence. 🧵

The case I made on @BBCr4today at 0720 was this. The disclosure of all documents and messages relating to the Mandelson appointment is vital. But the ISC requirement here goes much wider and (perhaps inadvertently) risks collateral damage to UK diplomacy. isc.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/u...

This tactic of an introductory free offer works extremely well to make tech firms indispensable because they are already embedded
In 2019, Palantir lobbied heavily for Brexit border management work, offering "free trials" of their Foundry software before securing a much larger £27 million border and customs data processing contract in 2020.

Know that #Palantir knows more than you know
What We Don't Know:

Unfortunately, the specific technical details about what the analytical platform was used for, what data it processed, or what intelligence services were provided have not been publicly disclosed.

I have reached out to former U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman to ask for his comment about the discrepancy of dates announcing Jeffrey Epstein's death. Berman's press release announced the death of Epstein the DAY BEFORE Epstein's official date of death, according to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Pls read whole piece. Neither Mandelson or Mosley were asked about Mandelson’s role in fixing Starmer’s visit to Palantir & subsequent £240m deal. It finally made headlines on Weds when a q was asked in Parliament.

But honestly, BBC also has qs to answer

I, for one, want to hear more about the economics & geopolitics of the world in 2036, where Xi Jinping & Vladimir Putin are dead, 🇷🇺 & 🇨🇳 are mired in domestic political unrest & economic crisis, & 🇺🇸, where, for all its many faults, the fascists lost & we implemented extensive democracy reforms.
As a long term optimist I hope that by the 2030s the US-EU partnership will be on a more stable footing as Trumpism self-sabotages through delusional hubris

As a short term pessimist I worry over how uselessly paralysed the US could get in late 2020s as Trumpism burns it all down before it falls

I always wondered why there was never any official Labour presence at the Anti-Brexit marches. It always seemed weird that Labour uncritically accepted the Brexit vote was the Will of the People when it was patently the Will of Putin.
