The tide is turning – if not against Palantir entirely, then against the presumption that there’s no alternative to them.
The British people are saying no, and it’s working. Say no to Palantir in the NHS here: goodlaw.social/8ppt
ALT Headline from the Guardian reading “London mayor Sadiq Khan blocks £50m Met police deal with Palantir. Exclusive: Scotland Yard had been in talks to use Palantir’s AI technology to automate intelligence analysis”

🚨 Awkward moment Reform’s Jake Berry calls party’s by-election candidate by wrong name.
During an appearance on Newsnight on Tuesday, the former Conservative Party chairman had an embarrassing blunder when he said “Robert Jenkins” was Reform’s “brilliant candidate” in Makerfield.
The Reform member had to then be corrected by Victoria Derbyshire, who told him: “That’s not his name by the way.”

Palestine's national team played its first European match in a generation against the Basque Country, in a sold-out San Mamés stadium.
While the Basque players walked onto the pitch with children by their side...
The Palestinian players carried white roses instead.
Roses for the children they can no longer hold.
Roses for the thousands of innocent lives stolen in Israel's genocide.
They didn't come for victory on the scoreboard.
They came to remind the world: Palestine still breathes. Palestine still fights.
Palestine is not alone.
In the heart of the Basque people who know what it means to resist nearly 50,000 voices roared in solidarity.
Football is never just a game when your people are being erased.
This is more than a match.
This is memory.
This is defiance.
This is humanity refusing to look away.
Free Palestine.
From the river to the sea.

Biggest march against the far-right in British history.
📍 Happening now: Park Lane to Whitehall.
You won't want to miss it.

ALT An aerial news broadcast shot from Sky News showing a large crowd of protesters gathered in a public square in Central London. The crowd is densely packed between high-rise city buildings and a green park area. A red and white news banner at the bottom reads, "LONDON MARCH: Protesters set to march against the far right." Small colorful tents and banners are visible within the crowd.

Please retweet if you are absolutely furious at Elon Musk constantly forcing appalling racism in your face.

Let that be the end of the appalling "policewoman attacked with a sledgehammer" lie used by Yvette Cooper and Mark Rowley to justify the proscription of Palestine Action.
🚨 BREAKING: Filton 6 defendants have been given a "not guilty" verdict or "no verdict" by a jury on ALL charges.
Not a single defendant was convicted of any offence.
The jury also refused to convict Samuel Corner on the charge of committing GBH against a cop

IMPORTANT: As #Davos is back in the news, you should DEFINITELY watch and share this.
“It feels like I’m at a firefighters conference & no one is allowed to speak about water.”
“You’re counting the wrong things!”

Almost 400 billionaires and millionaires from 24 countries have signed an open letter urging leaders to increase taxes on the world's wealthiest people.
The letter released to coincide with the Davos economic summit has been signed by well known names including the actor Mark Ruffalo and the musician Brian Eno. They say that a "handful of global oligarchs with extreme wealth" have "cost everyone else everything else" and are driving society towards breakdown.

For years, the Post Office and Fujitsu covered up the bugs in their faulty Horizon computer software, blaming the subpostmasters using it.
Thousands had their lives ruined. Some took their own lives.
Now Channel 4 News has obtained a 2006 contract between the two companies - overlooked despite being uploaded to the Post Office Inquiry's website - which a forensic accountant who investigated the Horizon scandal has described as "dynamite".

“Teenagers being shot by Israeli soldiers.”
Nick Maynard is a British gastrointestinal surgeon, who is currently in Gaza, working at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
We began by asking him what he can tell us about the shootings near the aid distribution sites this morning.
