The fact that we have 'cloud support' for our nukes is concerning in itself.

The UK CEO being the grandson of Oswald Mosley and having a penchant for black shirts isn't exactly comforting either.

Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’.

Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts.

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.

It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯

Nothing less than I would expect from dreadful Starmer

But still, 50 UK families have wealth of nearly £2/3 trillion between them

And are left untouched

Despicable and playing right into the hands of Reform

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics…

And you can help.

I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public

Imagine if this went though

And this is where we need your help…

Bravo @ben-cooke.bsky.social. Brilliant scoop, and hard to imagine a more important one.

“This government is hiding the true danger of climate change from the people”. Spooks don’t mess about when they leak.
