🏮REVEALED: Peter Thiel’s spyware firm Palantir have over £630m in UK Government contracts. They’re laced through the NHS, the Home Office, and the military: including our nuclear weapons. By @carolecadwalladr, Max Colbert and myself for @thenerve_news

Looks like Mandelson tried to connect Starmer and Peter Thiel last July — no record of the meeting actually taking place (which doesn’t necessarily mean it didn’t happen, ofc)

Reform seem to have removed their draft Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill from their website. I wonder if that is so that people don't make a connection between their only draft legislation, and the £5m Farage received from a crypto billionaire the year before.

And today the Guardian picked it & linked back to the FT. But there is way more important detail in @CharlieNotOld & @LuciaOC_’s reporting that neither newspaper, or any other, has picked up yet 2/

President Donald Trump bought shares of Palantir, the artificial intelligence software company and defense contractor, weeks before publicly praising the stock by name and ticker symbol on Truth Social. According to the filings, Trump bought between $247,008 and $630,000 in Palantir shares during the first quarter of the year. In March alone, he reportedly made at least seven separate Palantir purchases, worth up to $530,000 combined. The records also show thousands of transactions across the first quarter, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, with each trade disclosed only as a broad dollar-value range by the US Office of Government Ethics.

"Intensely private" Chris Harborne, who gave Reform more than £20m so far, in the middle of a MAGA crowd at the Coachella Trump rally, 2024. Around that time WSJ reported that Howard Lutnick, now Trump secretary, personally negotiated a 5% stake on Tether for Cantor Fitzgerald.

NEW: Palantir’s revolving door. A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption. 1/ Link ⬇️

We can reveal the true cost of the UK-US pharma deal is nearly £64bn, not the £1bn the government claims! Researchers predict 330,000 excess NHS deaths by 2036. More than the first 2 years of Covid. Parliament hasn't seen the deal. FOI requests refuse.🧵thebureauinvestigates.com/st…

The lopsided balance of power between capital and labour: the workers have no ability to refuse to wear the cameras which are training systems which will eventually replace the workers themselves

As @declassifiedUK's @markcurtis30 has reported - this 2020 military agreement between the UK and Israel, negotiated under Nick Carter, remains fully in force despite Israel’s war in Gaza and mounting allegations of genocide. As he reports, successive British governments have refused to disclose its contents, but it extends to training, intelligence support and high level military engagement. Ministers have repeatedly blocked parliamentary scrutiny, even as Israeli actions have drawn condemnation from bodies such as the International Criminal Court and the United Nations.

Britain: Here’s Palantir - the company that handles all your most intimate health data - being praised by President Trump for its ‘great war’ Bit it’s ok, he’s probably just trying to manipulate the stock price
