Lest we forget: Streeting accepted £15k from a donor with huge interests in privatised health care. The Electoral Commission register shows he received the donation from John Armitage, a hedge fund founder & manager who has given >£3mil to the Tories. He is an unprincipled #Quisling!

Le gouvernement veut faire payer les étudiants
Les étudiants coutent trop cher. Ils doivent payer la privatisation de l’université. Il faut plus de sélection. Il faut moins de bourses, poursuivre la fusion des bourses et des APL et donc à terme terminer de liquider les CROUS. Voilà ce que dit un rapport du Sénat datant du 25 octob

Retour à la poste ou j'explique que juste c'est pas possible, quand je parle à des machines, c'est mon métier, c'est pas pour qu'elle fassent semblant, que je me sens insulté.

"Ah ben envoyez un mail…"

Pas étonnant qu'on ferme des bureaux de poste si quand on y va ils servent à rien.

Duncan McCann: Palantir puts surveillance at the heart of the NHS

Wes Streeting insists that NHS health records are not for sale. But handing them to a company like Palantir shatters any chance of public trust, warns data lead Duncan McCann.

There's a lot of wisdom in this piece about the AI bubble:

Unfortunately, here in the UK, our Prime Minister has already approved huge data centre building projects that will burn through local water and energy supplies:

Given that tech giants pay as little tax as possible, this will be another example of government handing national resources to private interests virtually free of charge.

So what is the difference between PPPs and private management of public hospitals and a ‘perfumed turd’? Somewhere between very, very little and none at all.

The turd is what it is (unable to be shined); the perfume is the rhetoric used by Serco and other aspiring private profiteers to provide the rationalisation for ideological predisposed governments.

@ChrisMayLA6 The insurance hazards of AI remind me of tangles with UK nuclear power.

In the late 1980s, as the Thatcher govt moved towards #privatisation of electricity generation, they planned to include nuclear in the package. Greenpeace employed insurance and investment specialists to do an assessment of the value of the electricity sector with nuclear included or excluded. The report reckoned tens of billions without nuclear, or zero with the risks and cleanup of nuclear included.
