And now, Leicestershire Police is finally pulling the plug on Palantir. This is a seismic blow to Palantir’s ambitions. But not the end.

Reportedly: £30k of party-linked polling, foreign money, trying to disguise a £500k funding source, and Farage filmed celebrating it all.

Yet just weeks into his premiership, at least 10 military flights have left British bases for Israel. If Britain has nothing to hide, then there is one simple thing to do: explain.
