#Scottish #Labour would let controversial tech giant #Palantir “gain control of our #health #data”, an MP has told The National
“But people must be under no illusions; if Labour were in Government in #Scotland, Palantir would gain control of our health data and Scottish patients would become beholden to their services as they further entrench their #monopoly on #NHS data management.”

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.

Richest biggest winners from #ReformUK's £2bn #Scottish tax cuts
Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warned the cash needed to fund Reform’s proposed Scottish income tax cuts – around £4 billion – would be impossible to find without cutting back #PublicServices
#Reform would initially bring #Scotland’s 6 income #tax bands into line with Westminster’s 3 which would cost most taxpayers more & the public purse £1.2 billion.

I’m so ashamed …
This week, the UK Home Secretary proposed shocking #asylum reforms that could seize the possessions and jewellery of people seeking #safety, cut off their support and tear apart #families who have built their lives here.
This is performative cruelty reminiscent of #Nazi Germany.
Sign and share this urgent letter to stop the #UK government punishing #innocent families fleeing #war.
