Protect Our NHS Bath & NE Somerset is a community group campaigning for full funding of the NHS & social care & against healthcare privatisation (curated by Paula, retired NHS worker, ongoing NHS supporter)
@protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialI don't think people like me, who've worked in the #NHS for decades & protested peacefully outside hospitals while talking to interested passers-by about #Palantir 's FDP & concerns about safety & confidentiality of patient medical data, can be called a 'mob'!

@protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialExcellent report & analysis of the drawbacks of Palantir's FDP for the NHS, thank you - good to read the statements from NHS trusts on how Palantir's software doesn't offer advantage over existing NHS management tools for waiting lists
@henrymance.ft.comReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialMore than 20 NHS trusts in England have stopped using Palantir’s waiting list tools, according to FT analysis that casts doubt on widely cited claims about the success of the controversial data project led by the US software giant. as.ft.com/r/6c8844ae-e...
@justtreatment.orgReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialYesterday, people at 40+ hospitals across England said: no Palantir in the NHS. Palantir works with the Israeli military and ICE, and holds a £330m contract for NHS patient data. It can be scrapped within weeks. Share this and tell the government: back the break clause.
@protectournhsbanes.bsky.social'No Palantir in our NHS' protest today outside Bristol Royal Infirmary - lots of good chats with local people about the issues & info given out!

@petergeoghegan.bsky.socialReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.social🔴 Protests against Palantir across England today.
In July, we published this deep dive into Palantir, its lobbying in Britain and the myriad problems NHS staff have had with its software.
@taxjusticeuk.bsky.socialReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialThe UK is one of the richest countries in the world. So, why are so many people struggling? Simple: too much wealth is concentrated at the top. Here's how modest taxes, on those who can most afford it, could transform lives across the country. What would you spend it on?
@justtreatment.orgReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.social🚨British doctor who worked in Gaza on why Palantir has to be kicked out of our NHS.
Join the London Rally outside Palantir's HQ on Thursday 1 October, 6pm.
And across England, protests will take place at 20+ locations - find your nearest one: www.amnesty.org.uk/issues/inter...

@rebeccasear.bsky.socialReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialDemography is a fascinating subject and definitely deserves plentiful public discussion but *please* Radio 4 consult an actual demographer occasionally

@weownit.org.ukReposted by @protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialYour regular reminder that almost all of us reject NHS privatisation - no matter who we vote for
@protectournhsbanes.bsky.socialAgree, why do people with more money than they'll ever need complain about/avoid paying taxes for the good of the country & its citizens? ... & in the case of taxing the fossil fuel corps, why criticise taxation that addresses only a fraction of the harms caused to our ecosystem?
