Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Wes Streeting wants us to believe this contract has nothing to with his friend, Palantir lobbyist 'Mandelson'.
OK—will we believe you think giving £240m and all our data to a company fronted by Oswald Mosley's grandson in the UK, and enabling child abduction in the US, is a good idea?
Which is it?

The website deleted all mentions of "transgender" and "queer" in its history of the Stonewall riots, and only referred to the riots' impact on lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
