"Every council that campaigned on tax cuts has in fact raised them, some to the maximum or above. When confronted by this, he evaded, denied, and then refused to take responsibility for it."
So, 'Now you, Reform UK Ltd, have now discovered that central gov is actually UNDERfunding local gov, change your policies to campaign for better deals for local authority financing? And will you follow the implications regarding natioral approaches to government funding? Might you even admit that private finance and outsourcing are a much more likely target for cutting 'flab' from governmental budgets?"

"Renewable energy could protect us from fossil fuel price changes more than ever before – but it can’t be built overnight.
However, taxing oil and gas giants IS something the Chancellor could do overnight. And th profits could be used to build more homegrown renewable energy, protecting our energy bills and the climate.
The polluters must pay. We’re calling for permanent taxes on their profits to protect households from rising energy costs by investing in homegrown, fair renewable energy. And to support people around the world facing the worst impacts of climate change."

Tax polluters' profits now!

The war in the Middle East is taking hundreds of lives while also causing oil and gas prices to surge – and fossil fuel companies are cashing in, while families struggle with rising bills. The richest countries must tax these polluters' profits now! Let’s make them pay!

Novara Media | Palantir Has Been Awarded yet Another UK Government Contract by Sophia Sheera

The controversial US spytech firm Palantir has been awarded a contract to analyse highly sensitive government data, despite loud opposition from campaigners decrying the firm’s role in abetting the Gaza genocide and the immigration crackdown in the US.

Palantir will be paid £30,000 per month to analyse highly sensitive data from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), raising questions about what the firm would do with that data – and why Palantir is ever more embedded in the British state. 

The Miami-based firm already boasts contracts with the UK government worth over £500m, with its technology implanted in the NHS, the police and the military.

bing news | MPs urge UK government to halt contract giving Palantir FCA data access by undefined

MPs have urged the UK government to halt a new contract that gives US data‑analytics firm Palantir access to the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) internal intelligence. The FCA intends to use Palantir’s AI to analyse two years of sensitive regulatory data in a 12‑week trial aimed at combating financial crime. Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper and Green Party MP Siân Berry warned that awarding such a contract to a firm closely tied to billionaire Peter Thiel and former President Donald Trump could be a “huge error of judgment” and pose a national‑security risk.

Critics stress that Palantir would act only as a “data processor”, with the FCA retaining exclusive control over encryption keys and UK‑based storage, and that all data must be destroyed after the trial. However, insiders say details on how the “obvious risks” will be mitigated are sparse, and there are fears that the company could inadvertently gain access to investigations involving high‑profile figures such as former banker Jes Staley and hedge‑fund boss Crispin Odey. The contract also raises concerns about creating a “single behemoth” that could lock the public sector into a US‑owned platform, limiting domestic competition.

Palantir’s European chief Louis Mosley has sought meetings with MPs to dispel “misconceptions”, insisting the firm cannot use customer data for its own purposes and that the software will only process data under the FCA’s strict instructions. The FCA maintains that the trial will not include trading records, that data cannot be commercialised, and that the controls in place will prevent any “lock‑in”. Nonetheless, watchdogs and opposition parties continue to call for an immediate investigation and for the contract to be stopped before it proceeds.
