417 of 568 pages of the NHS Palantir contract were blanked out when The Good Law Project tried to examine them. 417.
And then the lawyers got involved.

The Good Law Project is funded solely by donation.
A great *mothers* day gift in my mind. What better way to say you care than help fund the fight to deny them free at the point of need, publically funded health care.

@wood5y don't do it! The Greens don't need the taint that comes with Labour baggage!

We, as a society, have to bully all people who wear those glasses. They have to be excluded form all social gatherings and we have to make fun of them everywhere they go.

But why THE FUCK are Meta workers watch the material? Ah, it's Meta. Of course, they're watching.

It doesn't help that the Equality Act is not enforced at all, and employers openly refuse to make any and all reasonable adjustments with zero consequences, preventing people with #disability from finding and staying in work

This is something that probably sounds obvious to some folks and unhinged to others, but I think it’s worth saying anyway: “workers who don’t adopt AI will get left behind” is right-wing propaganda. It’s more than just a surface-level advertising message. It makes the unstated assumption that workers are all in a state of conflict, racing against one another in competition for acceptable employment. This is the literal opposite of class consciousness! All workers should be aiming for a world where we don’t have to fight each other to earn a chance at a decent life.

Spent the morning getting caught up on all things #LinuxPhone as I thought I'd heard exciting things were on the way. They aren't. Everything is still awful and it doesn't look like it's getting any better in 2026 :-(

UK law, widely ignored, requires
a. A notice that recording is being done
b. Minimal retention time
c. Reasonable steps to limit image to own property and not into public space
d. No recording into other's property
Plus, I'd like to think that the law would protect my likeness being uploaded into the camera manufacturer's cloud or used for AI training or facial recognition.

Carrying a 1kW laser never seemed more appealing!

Not married to anything, though (not even the name etc). What do we think? Is this anything (or anything-adjacent)? Or does this seem like something that wouldn't be useful or valuable?

- Show up on the Parties' social media posts. Official posts almost never react to replies, which is unfortunate as there are often questions, asked in good faith, as to what the policy details or costings are.
