Trump’s EPA is moving to scrap a landmark emissions policy as part of its deregulatory agenda, a shift that would also gut a key legal foundation for combating global warming.

Israel is moving forward with its plans for mass execution of Palestinian prisoners without appeal or even a fair trial. Canada, France, UK, etc will all tut when they hang doctors for the crime of not abandoning their patients, and then move on to signing their next free trade agreement with Israel

Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

£240m. With no tender. Palantir.

I wrote to Wes Streeting last week demanding answers.

Every day without any transparency deepens the scandal.

Palantir out.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

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.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail.

The footage of Australian police acting like ICE agents is pretty shocking, but the media broadly stepping up to downplay, deny and mis-describe their violence in ambiguous terms is completely unsurprising.

It's an industry fundamentally incapable of ever assigning any blame to the police: ever

A foretaste of Reform in government: huge savings will be announced for projects that were never going to happen. As people get poorer and lose what remains of the state safety net, they’ll be told it’s all in their imagination. The Party has spoken.
