Not too late. Palantir are a threat to all of us
Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.
Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.
Tell the government to end the contract!

This is why Green Party policy is to openly campaign to rejoin the EU - the strongest ties, not just a strengthening of ties
The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage".
Bullshit. It would expose Farage.
It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.

There are some things I don’t 💯 agree with on policy. This isn’t one of them. Being straight with the electorate is usually beneficial 👏👏👏
Quite striking how the argument the Green Party have been making for some time now - and getting called all sorts of silly names for by the Labour Government - is the most popular position with the British public.
Funny the things you can just say when you've not been bought and paid for....

Strikingly even current conservative voters are most likely to say it’s best for UK national security to align with the EU - along with majorities of Lib Dem, Labour and Green voters while Reform voters are more likely to say it’s safer with the Commonwealth/CANZUK or the US

Palantir now sits at the heart of UK defence data, NHS systems, and intelligence infrastructure. MPs are starting to ask a simple question: what happens if one foreign firm becomes indispensable?
