Peter Thiel built ICE’s deportation machine. Now Palantir is processing 400M+ data points inside Iran—from satellite images to social media—for the nuclear deal. War with Iran wouldn’t just be catastrophic. It would mean billions in profits for Thiel and Palantir.

Don't let the Tories and the Reform Party Ltd claim credit for the announcement of an inquiry into grooming gangs. It's the recommendation by Louise Casey who carried out a review at the behest of Yvette Cooper. It's nothing to do with the Tories or Reform.

‘It’s the same claim he’s been making since at least 1992.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social runs through the times Netanyahu previously warned that Iran’s nuclear bomb was ‘imminent’.

Is this normal? Can you just be placed into a councillor role just becuase you believe people would vote for you..? It does sound like this lady has done a lot of good things, but surely there’s still due process? @reformwatch.bsky.social @reformexposed.bsky.social

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I feel like you need to give this some coverage. It’s kind of worrying that now crypto currency going into Deform won’t be traceable. BUT Remember the uproar there was when Starmer was given some suits though…? 🙄

A reminder: Farage couldn’t even be bothered to turn up for work this week. Instead he went on holiday. But, sure. He’s the guy with credibility according to the amoral loons who run this rag.

The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.
