US spy-tech giant Palantir is moving into our NHS to handle patient data, the same company with a troubling record of surveillance and deportations.

Our Tech and Data Lead, Duncan, spoke at Hackney Town Hall as Homerton Hospital considers adopting Palantir software.

What do you think?

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Can’t get enough of this. @raskin.house.gov rubbing Nigel Farage’s nose in his self-confessed love of Putin as he’s forced to sit & watch is delicious beyond words
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

***Reunite Families UK wins legal costs in case against government***

If you want to live in the UK with your non-Brit partner the British/settled resident must earn a Minimum Income Requirement (MIR) of £29,000. 50% of the workforce don’t earn that. Not even some of the Home Office’s own staff 🧵

Absolutely agree. ID cards would solve so many problems.
I’ve never understood the irrational opposition to universal ID in this country so very happy to see this in my inbox today

“First he came for our steelworkers and car makers. Now Donald Trump is coming for our world leading British film industry.

Will the PM work with our allies and make clear to Trump that if he picks a fight with James Bond, Bridget Jones and Paddington Bear, he will lose?”

Farage told ITV News his first action on becoming PM if he won the next GE would be removing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights.
Millionaires like Farage have a safety net, health, bills, pension, roof over their heads for life!
Never vote ReFUK.
But, he’ll happily rob you of:

Very concerning
This quote from Streeting is going to age like fine milk. The macho posturing from some of Labour is both depressing and self-defeating.
The “speed at which they’ve operated” is down to ignoring or actively destroying laws and institutions. This is real “say what you will about Mussolini, but he made the trains run on time” territory. Very concerning that a leadership figure would consider this an appropriate thing to say in public.

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump.

One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

In happier news, today is National Black Women Physicians Day.

My fellow Black women physicians and I proudly stand on the shoulders of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831–1895), who, in 1864, became the first Black woman to earn a medical degree in the United States.
