Let's kick Trump/ICE supporting #Palantir out of the UK. Stop Starmer from providing personal health and military security data to a private company with no morals, no scruples and no integrity.

@nprofile…senk @nprofile…mvj2 Worth checking SURI toothbrushes. Still not cheap but they just work so well (ultrasonic) - no bells and whistles. Been using one for 3 years and wished they'd been around 20 years before. And they often have 15% off.

Time for serious questions on #Reform and #Russia

This needs to be hammered into the heads of all politicians....

A friend who worked in senior management in UK insurance told me 15 years ago that they were taking climate change very seriously because they were seeing the effects building up over the preceding years.
