This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts.
This is a sign of a democracy in decline.

Imagine trying to persuade the British public to trust your company with their data and deciding the best way to do it is - "Let's get Tom Watson to vouch for us."

Where it is today: get ready for more "tough decisions" and stock up on food and water just in case everything collapses.

🚨 This is getting seriously dangerous.
The @BBC is withdrawing educational material on climate change and migration following accusations of political bias.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION.
It's established science.
MIGRATION IS A FACT OF HUMAN HISTORY.
Its economic, social and cultural contributions are documented, as are the challenges it can create. Immigration policy is open to debate, but children deserve to understand the evidence, not have political uncomfortable facts filtered out.
Political impartiality must never mean treating established evidence as ideology.
Education should teach children to examine reality critically, not sanitise it to avoid political controversy.

Lula victory speech:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.
We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

If Lula wins, remember he will have won overcoming a very clear and organised campaign of voter suppression…

“I only need to talk to Jewish people about whether something is antisemitic.”
That sounds like a reasonable principle. So why do you think you can pronounce on what does and what doesn’t constitute anti-Palestinian racism without talking to a single Palestinian?
Last week I went on an amateur YouTube channel to discuss a number of issues , including Israel Palestine.
They kept making a big fuss, saying to me: “we don’t edit and always show the whole interview”.
Unfortunately that was very creative with the truth. They edited what on their own could be controversial comments - released them - and kept the full interview behind a paywall.
This sort of behaviour is a part of the problem.
To be clear: I only need to talk to Jewish people about whether something is antisemitic.
If you have the chance to watch the full interview (don’t pay, hopefully they will release it) you will see me repeatedly calling for peace, a two state solution and equality for all. And you will see why I have referred the Green Party to the EHRC - the motion itself is a part of that reason.

The repeated warnings to prepare for war in the UK aren't based on a serious assessment. It's a comms strategy. The govt know that shifting spending to arms during a collapse in living standards is unpopular. They justify it by creating a war fever. It's as simple as that.

It really is fascinating how we construct what facts you’re allowed to be ignorant of, and those you are not. It’s central I think to understanding the operation of the media, the curation of the public conversation.
“I didn't know that.”
After defending Zionism, @MikeTappTweets is challenged by @ShehabKhan on Jewish people abroad being able to obtain Israeli citizenship while displaced Palestinians cannot return.
His response: “That doesn't sound equal to me.”

In addition to the transphobia, the case of harassment against Dr Upton is also ableist.
They don't want her working in healthcare because she's trans. They also claim she's mentally ill and say she's a danger to patients because of it. 1/3

JUST IN: Google forced to halt work in Finland after illegally clearing 250,000 trees for a new data center, according to the Guardian.
Every tree that occupied the 815-acre site just a few months ago is now gone.
The Finnish Licensing and Supervision Authority (LVV) has ordered Google to stop work on the Muhos and Otanmäki sites after it cut down the trees before the environmental impact assessment was completed.
Google’s Finland manager, Antti Järvinen, has apologized but says they were acting on "the best understanding we had of the legislation at the time."
Muhos and Otanmäki are a $17 billion Google AI project.
President Trump has criticized Google for taking the projects overseas instead of investing in the United States.
