@andyburnham must terminate their £330m NHS contract signed in 2023
If the goal is a population-wide genomic data grab, the UK will be Palantir’s Petri dish

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.

Message d'inquiétude transmis depuis Téhéran par un contact régulier: "On a peur d'une attaque lourde américaine et israélienne contre la région de Natanz. On redoute une frappe seminucléaire, le risque est pris au sérieux par de nombreux Iraniens. L'Iran ripostera contre les région, peut-être contre Diego Garcia et ailleurs. Pendant les récentes négociations au Qatar, l'Iran a demandé des garanties chinoises et russes pour éviter ce scénario. Mohsen Rezaï a parlé à Poutine, le vice-ministre des Affaires étrangères Bagheri-Kani est à Pékin. La diplomatie s'active. Le président de la République, Massoud Pezeskhian, a obtenu des pouvoirs supplémentaires du guide suprême. Je redoute une attaque américaine le jour de l'anniversaire de la prise d'otages des diplomates américains le 4 novembre 1979 à Téhéran".

BREAKING: Peaceful protestors are being arrested AGAIN.
The arrests of grandparents, teenagers and everyone in between for peacefully holding signs are a truly SHAMEFUL attack on our freedom of speech.
Peaceful protests are one of the best ways we have to make the government reign Secretary has said that the government never meant to treat elderly people, vicars and grandmothers as criminals. Even the Home Secretary has said that some of these arrests make her uncomfortable.

👉🏿 I was born under a dictatorship and have spent a great deal of my adult life denouncing authoritarian regimes. I am deeply shocked to read the threatening statement issued by the @metpoliceuk . Threatening to arrest people for providing "logistical support" to peaceful demonstrators is the kind of threatening statement we are used to getting from the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship in Nicaragua. This is not what I expect from PM Andy Burnham’s Government. The UK is supposed to be a democracy, where freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Churchill’s words remind us that a true civilisation relies entirely on these liberties to maintain democratic accountability. Criminalising and proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a shameful authoritarian overreach.
