#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.”

Last week, the Nerve revealed that people working at MoD consider the US spy-tech giant is posing “a national #security #threat to the UK”
Senior systems engineer told said ministers are “missing the realities of data scraping, of aggregation, & the fact that Palantir is building its own rich picture of our nation that they can use for their own ends”

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".

Number of people in very deep poverty in UK hits record high

Blackpool – Kicking the Poorest People into the Gutter
Improving the lives of people "entrenched in poverty" would be praiseworthy if this project did that but gentrification removes poverty from an area by forceable displacement of the current poverty stricken residents. The council fails to clarify how the lives of the evicted are being improved. Hundreds of families in one of England’s poorest neighbourhoods will be evicted under a £90m plan described by critics as a “mass dispersion” of vulnerable people. 400 homes in Blackpool will […]https://activitypub.writeworks.uk/2026/01/blackpool-kicking-the-poorest-people-into-the-gutter/
