Well, it didn’t do Mad Nad’s career too much harm (well not as much as it would have done to her reputation if she’d had one worth a toss). And let’s face it, Hancock’s career is already over.

One should never speak to the people your policies harm. You speak about them.

Holy fuck!
What the fuck is a Labour MP doing supporting Turning Point (the US arseholes, not the British charity that existed years before them)?

I object to the idea that it is a US culture war. We have had our own home grown fascists for years, and they have always been more than willing to pull this kind of shit. Other than that, I’m in agreement with the Good Law Project.

Billionaires are international. Cambridge Analytical was in the UK - targeted US elections - but was funded by the Mercers.

This is true. It is also true that those people have been funded and supported by US bigots and their money for years. They would have been fascist bigots without US money and encouragement but the particular voices that get amplified benefit a lot from that money and support.

UK government set to extract hospital data to Palantir system without patient consent
The UK government is set to extract patient-identifiable data from NHS hospital systems and share this with its data platform based on technology from Palantir, a move that seems set to provoke another legal challenge.
Without consulting patients or giving them the choice of opting out, NHS England and NHS Improvement — the non-departmental government body which runs the NHS in England — has instructed NHS Digital to gather the data for the purpose of understanding and reducing the crisis in treatment waiting times resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instead, Labour offered up @AnnelieseDodds and two Labour officials.
The Anneliese Dodds who tries to be on both sides of the transgender ‘debate’ at once, yet seems to always lean towards the TERS when it matters? The Anneliese Dodds who is my MP but I don’t think I can vote for in the next election, leaving me with real concerns that I won’t be able to vote for anyone who cares about my safety? That Anneliese Dodds?
I recognise a “Fuck You!” dogwhistle when I hear it. I’m glad I’m not a member of their shitshow anymore.
