There’s an infection in the NHS. And it’s called Palantir 🦠
Palantir is a US spy-tech company with a background in policing, surveillance, immigration enforcement and the military. And now it's got our most sensitive NHS health records.
The government has three months to decide whether to cancel its £330m NHS contract.
We want Palantir out, join us 👇

I think @CountBinface should start a party, called Refuse.

“We are liquidating the Earth’s natural capital. We are tearing down the biological library before we have even read the books. No amount of economic growth can compensate for the loss of a self-sustaining biosphere.”

On this day in history, 32 years ago…
John Smith, the Labour Party leader, was 55 years old when he died from a heart attack on May 12, 1994.
He once said:
“People in Britain today are angry: not just disappointed, not just disillusioned, but angry. They are angry at the state of Britain; angry at the total absence of leadership; angry at the absence of vision; angry at the hypocrisy and double standards; and they are angry at the incessant incompetence of a Government they no longer respect and increasingly despise.”
And tragically, his words of wisdom (aimed against the Tory government) could equally apply to Keir Starmer’s government of today.

How we prompt AI is very different in 2026 than 2022 when ChatGPT came out.
I'm teaching a new course, AI Prompting for Everyone, to help you become an AI power user — whatever your current skill level.
It covers skills that apply across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI tools. How to use deep research mode for well-researched reports on complex questions. How to give AI the right context, including more documents and images than most people realize you can provide. When to ask AI to think hard for several minutes on important decisions like what car to buy, what to study, or what job to take. And how to use AI to generate images, analyze data, and build simple games and websites.
I also cover intuitions about how these models work under the hood, so you know when to trust an answer and when not to.
Along the way, you'll see flying squirrels, a creativity test, some of my old family photos, and fireworks.
