The entire issuing of Government contracts to Palentir in light of their links to Mandelson & Epstein should be reviewed. I raised the suitability of Palantir as an NHS provider to the Tory Govt in 2023 after constituents in West Derby contacted me with serious concerns.
My colleague Marty Weil is one of The Post’s last living ties to Watergate. He’s covered stories that range from local crime to the Sept. 11 attacks to whimsical weather musings. After 60 years, he was laid off yesterday by email. nytimes.com/2026/02/05/bus…
Still reeling that my four years covering the war in Ukraine for The Washington Post are up — right before the invasion anniversary. I plan to stay in Kyiv because this story is more important than ever. So please reach out with opportunities.
Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.
Along with so many talented colleagues, I was laid off by The Washington Post today. The Berlin bureau is closed. Reporting for The Post from Germany has been an absolute hono(u)r. I will miss you all. Herzlichen Dank an alle.
The Daily Express says Starmer wants to take away our Brexit freedoms? What Freedoms! Brexit robbed us of our European Freedom of Movement, and now it is pushing the UK to either become a vassal of the USA, or a follower of EU rules in which we have no say. Brexit is what a…
Water bills to rise again in England, well above the rate of inflation. 90% of water industry is foreign owned. Shareholders count the returns, have no contact with leaks, water shortages or sewage dumping. Customers fleeced. Privatisation is a scam. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Your water bills are going up, again. Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed. It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!
Needs urgent attention 🔴
Ofsted admits to using ‘some generic wording' after duplication was spotted in 12 of the new school inspection report cards tes.com/magazine/news/…
The marvellous @carolecadwalla has been warning us all of the dangers of linking up with Palantir and Peter Thiel, a man who wants to destroy the NHS. Here @donmcgowan gives us more detail. @10DowningStreet should be ashamed of its links with Palantir. donmcgowan333.substack.com/p/palantir-ent…
The ugliest thing about this war is that russians can do whatever they want and remain unpunished. Perhaps you’ve seen the news: russian drones hit a passenger train. As of now, five people were killed. Unpunished evil doesn’t stop.
This is shocking. New @jrf_uk report has found ‘very deep poverty’ in Britain has hit its worst level in 30 years. Why is this not on every UK news show this morning?
Poverty is deepening. 🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning. People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people. This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.
Sorry to hear about the death of Mark Tully. Anyone who worked in India for the BBC instantly became the beneficiary of his wisdom, kindness, humour and, above all, reputation. In India Mark Tully was the BBC. An absolute giant.
‘Russian peace plan’ = launch hundreds of drones and missiles at sleeping civilians
While “peace talks” continue in Abu Dhabi, between Russia, the US, and Ukraine, Russia launches an overnight combined strike on Ukraine, targeting mainly Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv. On the night of 24 January (from 6 p.m. on 23 January), Russia launched a…
Russia massively attacks Ukraine right after day 1 of talks in Abu Dhabi. Skies full of drones. 12 explosions in Kharkiv in 15 min. Swarms of drones heading towards Kyiv.
Dear world, Tonight a drone hit a chocolate factory in Kyiv A place that makes sweets. Chocolate. Things meant for children. For normal life. A 48-year-old woman was there She went to work And she was killed This is how civilian Ukrainians die Not on the battlefield But at…
If you can help, please help. If you can’t, share. Silence helps no one.
People in Ukraine are starving. They are freezing. They are dying. This isn’t a headline—it’s daily life. Families huddle in the dark with no heat. Parents skip meals so their kids can eat. Elderly neighbors burn scraps to survive the night. Missiles destroy power grids;…
Palantir’s stranglehold on our country depends on people not knowing who they are, what they do and what they believe in.
@ZackPolanski stood outside Palantir HQ to demand that the spy-tech firm - which has supported deadly ICE raids and enabled genocide in Gaza - gets out of our NHS Say no to Palantir in the NHS ❌👇 goodlaw.social/ac5995
Please note that I have not been contacted nor have I given permission for large parts of my original published work to be rewritten and included in this article. Much of this is taken directly from my book as complete sections alongside large parts being paraphrased.
While we were all focused on the hapless water white paper govt quietly dumped this out the back door, the Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment. It makes for utterly depressing reading. 👇
We have 71 important types of natural habitat in England. 97% of them are in poor health. Most are getting worse. There are no tangible prospects of improvement.
