“For too long, the UK has been content to be a digital colony of Silicon Valley. We are ceding both economic value and strategic autonomy because we lack a coherent plan to stand on our own two feet.” 🗣️ Victoria Collins MP on the cross-party warning over the UK's dependence on US tech. They call for the risks to be disclosed and recognised in the National Risk Register.

#UKPolitics #GreenParty #GPEW We had an exchange here recently where i connected with so many fellow #GreenParty people and now I can’t remember anyone’s usernames, just very few! Should have made a list. Will try to build some kind of #GPEW network here @Talia@mstdn.social @greenpartyni@mastodon.ie

The UK isn’t a vassal state of America. Yet Trump wants to punish us over a digital services tax. This can be resolved by ditching US Big Tech from our digital infrastructure. We should invest in open source to promote economic growth through greater innovation and a more competitive tech sector. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/24/trump-tariff-uk-digital-services-tax-warning #digitalsovereignty #trump #digitalservices #tech #bigtech #opensource #ukpolitics #ukpol #tarrif

The poor and middle pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers – and the ultra-rich pay politicians. The more money billionaires accumulate, the greater their control of the political system – which means they pay less tax, which means they accumulate more, which means their control intensifies #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ReformUK #farage #nigelfarage #immigration #farageisalyingsackshit #ReformAreUseless #farageisaracist #farageisatraitor #richardtice #TaxTheRich #trump #DonaldTrump #MAGA #uspol #uspolitics #billionaires #taxes

Did Palantir say the quiet bit out loud? Maybe not when clue's in the name that they're the bad guys trying to spy on everyone. But still, erm, bold to set out their sinister megalomania in a 22-point manifesto. They make the case for ditching Big Tech in favour of UK Digital Sovereignty for us tbh. https://cybernews.com/editorial/palantir-manifesto-britain-tech-dependence/ #palantir #DigitalSovereignty #opensource #bigtech #tech #ukpolitics #ukpol

The problem with our dependency on Big Tech is evident in Palantir's NHS contract. Signing up to a 'subscription service' for one company's exclusive software leaves us with nothing when we end the contract. With open source, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/20/palantir_nhs_break_clause/ #BigTech #palantir #nhs #DigitalSovereignty #opensource #UnplugBigTech #ukpolitics #ukpol

Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off. If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in. They own the software, so love it or lose it. We call for UK Digital Sovereignty to turn the tide.

The UK is in a toxic relationship. Hooking up our digital infrastructure to the proprietary systems of a few tech companies based abroad has left us over-charged and vulnerable to external threats. ORG calls on the government to put in place a UK Digital Sovereignty strategy based on open source.

If you think everyone involved with A.I. companies are evil Bond villain types, here’s Palantir CEO Alex Karp dismissing the tens of thousands killed and displaced in Gaza as “useful idiots” and “mostly terrorists” to change your mind… #brexit #tory #tories #toryscum #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #ReformUK #farage #nigelfarage #immigration #farageisalyingsackshit #ReformAreUseless #farageisaracist #farageisatraitor #palantir
