I just emailed my MP asking them to attend Monday's briefing on Palantir and the NHS contracts.

If you are in the UK, please ask your MP to attend.

Email your MP about Mandelson, Palantir, and the dangerous influence of US Big Tech

The Mandelson scandal has lifted the lid on something Foxglove has been warning about for years: the UK government's dangerously cosy relationship with US Big Tech.

I have had an MP reply back saying he thought it was justified to proscribe #PalestineAction because they smashed windows.!!!!

Fuck me backwards!!

"Palestine Action has also committed violent acts against business and other institutions including the smashing of windows. Although I fully support protest and disruptive action, I must be clear I do not support violence and threatening behaviour"

@Pamela1960

Wholeheartedly agree. I know that it's not a gravy train for all and that there are good and selfless MPs, but there are far too many prepared to grasp at whatever is going, to the detriment of UK politics as a whole. #TheyWorkForUs

I know that it's asking a lot, but I wish that we held politicians and the parties they espouse to a code of honesty, competence, and to minimum standards of work for us and for their constituents. That we insisted that they took no second (or third or fourth or fifth...) jobs. That any lobbying was transparent and out in the open. And that "donations" are outlawed except for trivial items like pens and desk pads. #TheyWorkForUs

@brewdog1950 Obvious to me as it should now be to others, that for the past 13 years the Government has at every occassion and at every opportunity, including the tragedy of Covid, they have transferred as much public money to public hands as they thought they could get away with.

#theyworkforus that's a no

@PacMan

Rats in a sack. #theyworkforus

If the government were to make a fiscal budget and stick to it like a lot of businesses do, our economy would be so much better off.

Get rid of things that the private sector can (and SHOULD) handle. Trim the fat on many programs. Make education valuable again.

This is just unbelievable. How do MPs *always* get away with this behaviour?

If I wad drunk at work and shouting racist abuse I would be sacked, vilified and I doubt anyone would ever hire me again.
