Bad To The Bone

According to the General Osteopathic Council, “Reinaldo Avila da Silva did not graduate from an osteopathy course and has never been registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC). Therefore, he is not able to practise osteopathy in accordance with the law within the UK.” So what was that money really for?

Moving the Humble Address yesterday, Alex Burghart placed on record that, “On 27 February 2025, the Prime Minister, while in Washington, visited the American data and AI company Palantir at its headquarters. The meeting did not appear in the Prime Minister’s register of visits; it only came to light later. Palantir, we should remind ourselves, was a client of Global Counsel, the company in which Peter Mandelson had a commanding share. Later that year, Palantir received from this Government a £240 million deal. That deal was granted by direct award. Given the allegations now coming to light about Mandelson’s conduct, will the Minister assure the House that the Cabinet Secretary will review the circumstances around the award of that contract, and assure himself that there are no other such contracts, no other undisclosed meetings, and that the Government will go through all communications and messages that Mandelson sent out while he was ambassador, some of which we must assume, were sent to old business contacts, a potential few business contacts, and so on?”

In the United States, the Department of Health and Human Services feeds its data to Palantir, which feeds them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In Britain, as well as that military contract, Palantir provides the NHS Federated Data Platform, meaning that it would be able to do for Shabana Mahmood’s or any future Home Secretary’s National Police Service what it was already doing for ICE. Palantir also supplies military technology to the IDF, and it delivers Mahmood’s facial recognition technology. Join the dots. Neither Mahmood, nor Wes Streeting, must ever become Prime Minister, or should even remain another day in office.
