Palantir was a warning sign.

Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.

All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Does the UK military have forces embedded on the US carrier strike group that illegally attacked Venezuela?

It's been reported they do. But government refuses to say.

Because in the UK political system, there's no right to know. Why should we tolerate this?

Maduro wasn't a corrupt dictator.

Saudi Arabia has a corrupt murderous dictator.
Israel has a corrupt genocidal dictator.

The USA which also has a corrupt genocidal dictator loves those countries.

It is that Venezuela wasn't a US puppet.
