Starmer’s government totally, and without any shadow of a doubt are complicit with Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Over the years, Blair, May, Cameron, Sunak, Truss, Johnson, Braverman, Badenoch, Farage, Starmer, Lammy, all of them, guilty of not standing up to Netanyahu over Gaza, and with that destroying Britain’s reputation on the world stage. It beggars belief they did this.
What they have done is nothing less than total betrayal, the subsequent attacks on the ICC were compounded by Trump’s sanctions against this bastion of International Law, all of it remains beyond sickening.
Sir Keir Starmer supporting a disgusting fascist Israeli government, which saw him confirming, and giving license to Israel their “right” to deny water, food, and electricity, as well as laying siege on Gaza.
Totally illegal under the Geneva Convention.
I’ve started reading Peter Obourne’s book COMPLICIT: Britains role in the destruction of Gaza, going on the YouTube talk between Owen Jones and Obourne, it is absolutely clear that the coordinated, and manufactured consensus to promote Zionism above all ethical adherence to International Humanitarian Law was and continues to be obscene.

Scenario - After the UK state becomes privatised by US Blackrock, Blackstone, Vanguard, PEEL Group, Pronomos Capital, via the plethora of deregulated free zones in England, Scotland, and Wales, authoritarianism will expand with surveillance capitalism as its primary digital linchpin. The ideological architecture behind what might otherwise look like technocratic policy are very real ‘exit strategies’ taking place immediately after Brexit.
What’s happening is a 25-year 'reconfiguration-of-the-UK' phase, where collective sovereignty is replaced in incremental steps with corporate sovereignty via free zones, port by port, zone by zone, region by region, patchworks of feudal enclaves and tax havens, all competing with one another in an unlevel market distorted playing field.
A private equity firm you should know of is Pronomos Capital, they are waiting in the wings. pronomos.vc/people

What You Can Do About UK Enterprise Zones

🧵 The UK’s enterprise zone network is expanding under Labour’s Industrial Strategy Zones. Here are concrete actions you can take to resist the corporate carve-up of Britain:

1/ **DEMAND TRANSPARENCY**
Ask your MP and local council: Which companies benefit from zone subsidies? What taxes do they avoid? What environmental damage do they cause? What IP are they acquiring? They’re using public money—you have a right to know.
1/12 2/ **CHALLENGE DEMOCRATIC DEFICITS** Enterprise zones bypass normal democratic oversight. Demand that all zones require local council approval, genuine public consultation with veto power, and annual performance reviews with revocation powers.

A Proposed Plan
Dismantle the deregulatory structure of all free zones, align them with the EU’s regulatory orbit. What must be demanded:
Immediate transparency: Full disclosure of which companies benefit from zone subsidies, what IP they acquire, what profits they extract, what taxes they avoid, and what environmental damage they cause.
Democratic accountability: All enterprise zones must operate under normal democratic oversight, including local council approval, genuine public consultation with veto power, and annual performance reviews with revocation powers.
Conditionality: Attach strings to all public subsidies—living wage guarantees, union recognition, profit-sharing with local communities, IP sharing requirements, environmental compliance, local hiring quotas.
Public ownership: Create genuinely public alternatives—community-owned food processing, publicly-run research facilities, municipal data centres, cooperative enterprise zones governed by workers and communities.
EU realignment: Rejoin EU regulatory frameworks that prevent state aid abuse and protect food standards, worker rights, environmental protections, and data privacy.
Labour organising: Unionise workers in all enterprise zones to resist exploitation and demand fair wages, secure contracts, and democratic workplace governance.
Legal challenges: Challenge the legality of Mayoral Development Orders, compulsory purchase orders, 25-year licenses that lock in corporate advantages, and “regulatory sandboxes” that suspend democratic protections.
Electoral pressure: Make enterprise zone accountability a voting issue in local and national elections. Demand candidates commit to zone reform or abolition.
International solidarity: Connect with communities globally fighting Special Economic Zones, Export Processing Zones, and corporate sovereignty—this is a worldwide phenomenon requiring worldwide resistance.
Alternative economic models: Build and demonstrate that democratic, cooperative, publicly-owned economic development delivers better outcomes than corporate welfare zones.
Media pressure: Force mainstream media to cover the zone network, 140+ zones affecting every aspect of national life deserve front-page investigation, not buried in business sections.
Parliamentary opposition: Demand MPs scrutinise ISZ governance, question the merger of Freeports and Investment Zones, challenge Defence and AI Growth Zone expansion, and investigate conflicts of interest in zone governance boards.
Community organising: Build coalitions between affected communities, farmers losing abattoirs, students in commercialised universities, workers in low-wage zone jobs, residents facing compulsory purchase, and communities losing democratic control.
The corporate carve-up of Britain is systematic, comprehensive, and intentional.
It has cross-party support and billions in sunk costs. But it’s also fragile.
These zones depend on:
Public money (which can be withdrawn)
Public legitimacy (which can be challenged)
Political protection (which can be voted out)
Legal frameworks (which can be challenged in courts)
Community acquiescence (which can be transformed into resistance)

Apart from @TheCanaryUK has anyone seen a single left-wing media outlet investigate the duopoly's nationwide rollout of deregulated free zones?
The ongoing proliferation of free zones under Keir Starmer now includes AI Growth Zones, and Defence Growth Zones (the digital layer), while Labour published their paper, Industrial Strategy Zones Action Plan in June 2025. The paper states it will merge the Tories' Freeports and SEZs under the umbrella of Industrial Strategy Zones (ISZs)

It is patently clear that if the MSM gave as much attention to Palantir and Blackrock's incursions into the public sector, and the duopoly's nationwide rollout of deregulated free zones as much as they give to Nigel Farage and immigration, we would be seeing outrage directed at these actual seismic issues that are secretly changing Britain into an authoritarian state under a right-wing corporate political model.

Blackrock have 677 registered entities at Companies House UK, possibly more, many of the addresses are from the Cayman Islands. Blackrock has 80% ownership in 3 British Freeports, Felixtowe, Harwich, and Thamesport, they are moving into critical public infrastructure.
Blackrock also has 4.7% shares in Palantir.
Palantir have 24 contracts with key UK public institutions, the NHS, the Ministry of Defence, the polices forces, the Cabinet Office, the DLUHC, and Coventry City Council whose contract is the 24th and was arranged by Keir Starmer this year.

In June 2025, the Starmer government released the Industrial Strategy Zones Action Plan, which consolidates the Tories' 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs with Labour's new AI Growth Zones (200 applications to date), Defence Growth Zones, University and Food Enterprise Zones.
This represents a fundamental shift toward privatisation across the UK.
Areas outside these designated zones simply cannot compete as millions in public funding is lavished on free zone applicants.
Neither the public nor the Press were consulted about these details due to secondary legislation being embedded in the Tories free zone policy, which Labour lapped up behind the scenes while signing off on these carve-outs. Keir Starmer’s AI Growth Zones, layered atop 86 deregulated free zones (12 Freeports, 74 SEZs), are wiring the UK into a techno-feudal fiefdom, fueled by Bitcoin’s environmental carnage, automation, and corporate land grabs costing £19.78 billion, with £64 billion more pledged.
These dedicated AI Growth Zones (200 bids on sites so far) are designed to speed up planning permission and provide energy connections needed for AI infrastructure.

Bitcoin’s energy-guzzling mining, water-intensive infrastructure, and lithium extraction threaten landscapes like Dartmoor, while tech lords like BlackRock, Palantir, and libertarian ideologues, Peter Thiel, Nigel Farage, and Balaji Srinivasan, carve nations into corporate sovereignties. This is end-times fascism: billionaires bunkering down in deregulated enclaves, ravaging the planet, and dismantling governments.
The Public Knows Nothing, and The Stakes, Economic, Democratic, and Environmental, are Existential.

You need to see what Blackrock are doing with Global Infrastructure Partners in the US.
They are taking public companies that provide critical infrastructure such as water, electricity, data centres, food markets, logistics, land, schools and hospitals, and farmland.
Keir Starmer’s govt has partnered with Blackrock (and Blackstone) plus 700 more corporate lobbyists).
It means the commons is up for grabs and your bills will skyrocket, this is how corporations monopolize critical public infrastructure.
Blackrock in partnership with Keir Starmer’s changed Labour Party are going to privatise the UK.

Peter Thiel funded Próspera.
Próspera is currently suing the Honduran Govt for $11 billion via an ISDS mechanism because their ZEDE/charter city was shut down by the Honduran Supreme Court.
The ISDS mechanism allows foreign investors to bypass domestic courts and take disputes directly to international arbitration panels, which is exactly what Próspera is doing in this case. This has become a significant point of controversy, as critics argue it allows foreign companies to challenge sovereign democratic decisions through international tribunals.
The equivalent ISDS mechanism is the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), this is embedded in all UK free zones.

The Sovereign Corporation is being constructed in real time, this is what will turbocharge corporate fascism in the UK.
The deregulatory landscape was laid down by Brexit, Labour, and the Tories colluded to carve up the UK into 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs.
In January 2025, Keir Starmer launched AI Growth Zones, which have over 200 bids on sites in the bag, bids are to stay open indefinitely.
In June 2025, Labour published a policy paper titled Industrial Strategy Zones Action Plan, which aims to merge the 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs, and no doubt the digital layer of Starmer's AI Growth Zones as well.

@jasonhickel is fantastic, and I'm glad @novaramedia interviewed him.
The richest countries in the world cannot guarantee food security for their own citizens; something is seriously wrong with the 'economic growth' policies of the centrist right.
The degrowth movement is a global socio-economic and ecological philosophy and activist framework that advocates for a deliberate reduction in economic growth, particularly in wealthy nations, as a means to achieve sustainability, social equity, and human well-being.
Degrowth emphasises redistributing wealth and resources through policies like universal basic income (UBI), shorter working hours, and universal public services. We can no longer prioritise corporate profit over community well-being, which has proven completely unsustainable as the last 45+ years have shown.
youtube.com/watch?v=bjlqWH… Growth is the obsession of the capitalist class.
Under socialism you can scale up and scale down sectors.
Socialists should care about human needs and well-being, while decreasing production of harmful and unnecessary things.
So let's all question what exactly entails Labour's 'economic growth' plans more publicly.
Read about Degrowth.
Keir Stamer is a buffoon.

⚠️WARNING⚠️
The head of the UK branch of Palantir is Louis Mosley, who is the grandson of the renowned British fascist Oswold Mosley.
Louis Mosley is quoted as saying that Palantir's strategy for entry into the British health industry was to "Buy our way in" by acquiring smaller rival companies with existing relationships with the NHS in order to "take a lot of ground and take down a lot of political resistance"
The fact that Palantir has 24 contracts with UK public institutions including the NHS, the Ministry of Defence, the police force, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC should be ringing alarm bells.
Quotes from Peter Thiel "The NHS makes people sick" and "I no longer believe freedom and democracy are compatible"
It was the Tories who arranged 23 of the Palantir contracts, the most recent contract given to Palantir was to Coventry City Council by Keir Starmer in April 2025.
Keir Starmer will continue handing out Palantir contracts to councils, as one by one, councils are collapsing due to insufficient funding and poor management. This is part and parcel of how predatory corporations are making serious incursions into the public sector.
Palantir is a key component of the mass privatisation of infrastructure currently accelerating at pace post-Brexit.Image Lack of Transparency in Procurement
Many contracts were awarded without competition, with some being "handed over in secret" until transparency organisations forced publication.
Even now, the UK government is withholding details of Palantir contracts, making it difficult for the public to understand the full scope.

Hi @zarahsultana
Coventry City Council (your constituency) has just signed a £500k AI contract with Palantir (running 2025–2030), and was set up by Keir Starmer's Govt in June 2025.
Given Palantir’s record (surveillance, ICE, Gaza), many of us in Coventry & beyond are really worried. I know you’ve always stood up for human rights, and that’s why I support the new party you’re building with Jeremy Corbyn.
Your constituents' personal data, including yours, will be in Palantir's hands.
This feels like exactly the kind of issue where your voice could make a real difference, holding power to account locally while connecting it to the global struggle for justice.
Palantir isn’t just another tech supplier: it builds surveillance platforms, powers ICE deportations, and provides software used in drone targeting systems linked to civilian deaths in Gaza.
This deal follows 23 Tory-awarded Palantir contracts, and now Starmer’s government is continuing down the same path, embedding a company with a deeply troubling human rights record into UK public institutions (NHS, police, MoD… and now Coventry City Council).
Given your long record of speaking out for Palestine, against surveillance, and for democratic accountability, and now your call for public involvement in shaping a new party with Jeremy Corbyn, will you commit to challenging Palantir’s presence in Coventry?
Residents deserve to know:
How was this contract awarded?
Why Palantir, despite its record?
What safeguards (if any) exist to stop our data being used for harmful ends?
This is exactly the kind of issue, local, global, and moral that could show how your movement offers a genuine alternative. Palantir's mass surveillance tools & human rights risks Palantir’s systems are widely used across military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies. Privacy advocates warn its platforms enable broad, unchecked surveillance, raising concerns about civil liberties and misuse of data.

When Keir Starmer’s government announced its AI Growth Zones in January 2025, I saw zero press coverage of what this actually entailed, just the usual MSM puff pieces parroting Labour's “jobs”, “innovation”, and “future-proofing Britain” bullshit.
But the real story was hidden in plain sight: this wasn’t just about AI, and it wasn’t just about technology. It was about hardwiring a corporate-first model of anti-governance into Britain’s economic geography by stealth.
europeanpowell.substack.com/p/industrial-s… They arrive silently, no fanfare, no public debate, no parliamentary scrutiny. But across Birmingham, Cornwall, Dorset, Norfolk, Suffolk, and beyond, a corporate takeover is underway.

This is insane, look at this!
DEFRA is pre-empting a barrage of FOI requests on their Land Use Consultation paper.
The Defra Land Use Consultation paper (February 2025) contains an unusual confidentiality clause that raises serious concerns about transparency.
While framed as procedural, the notice effectively pre-empts a wave of Freedom of Information (FOI) and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) requests. Stakeholders are invited to mark their submissions as confidential, but the government warns it "cannot provide an assurance that confidentiality can be maintained in all circumstances", a line that appears crafted to discourage disclosures rather than protect openness.
In the context of rising public concern over the financialisation of nature, and amid reports of BlackRock and other private asset managers eyeing "natural capital" as a portfolio class, the clause reads as a defensive legal posture. It suggests the government expects scrutiny around who is influencing land use policy, how "nature's assets" are being defined, and whether financial firms are shaping frameworks behind closed doors.
Such pre-emptive language undermines public trust and transparency, especially as environmental commons face unprecedented commodification.
consult.defra.gov.uk/land-use-frame…Image I reviewed the UK Government’s February 2025 Land Use Consultation and its Analytical Annex, and there is no mention of BlackRock or any specific financial institutions in either document, despite both paper’s foundational emphasis on natural capital and nature markets, which BlackRock explicitly lists among its strategic investment priorities.
As the government simultaneously pursues a partnership with BlackRock and encourages asset-like valuation of environmental resources, the omission of any corporate stakeholders appears less accidental than strategic.

It is not mentioned in the @guardian article, but it is extremely important to know that on 13 January 2025 Keir Starmer’s government announced the creation of deregulated AI Growth Zones.
Both the US and the UK refused to sign for the EU’s proposed AI regulatory framework at the Paris AI Safety Summit earlier this year.
The UK and US Position: - US Vice President JD Vance emphasised concerns about excessive regulation stifling innovation, warning that stringent regulations could “kill a transformative industry” and criticised European regulatory frameworks for imposing “massive regulations” and creating “endless legal compliance costs”
- A UK spokesperson said “the declaration didn’t provide enough practical clarity on global governance and didn’t sufficiently address harder questions around national security”
The Regulatory Divergence: The contrast is stark when considering that the European Union has already enacted the most comprehensive, broad, overarching law on the use and development of artificial intelligence of any area in the world through the EU AI Act, while the US and UK are pursuing what Vance called a “hands-off” approach to regulation.
My point is about Trump and Starmer are both enabling “impacts prohibited under EU law”. The EU AI Act includes specific prohibitions and risk-based restrictions that wouldn’t apply to AI development and deployment in the UK and US.
This regulatory arbitrage will allow practices that the EU has deemed too risky or ethically problematic.
Starmer's Labour Party are dragging the UK into a big tech deregulated dystopia where zoning carves up Britain into competing corporate feudal enclaves with laws and regulations different from the host country.
Palantir has 24 contracts with UK public institutions, the NHS, the Ministry of Defence, the Police force, the Cabinet Office, and the Department of Levelling Up and Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
Keir Starmer awarded a new contract to Palantir with Coventry City Council this year.
Palantir and the IDF
The Israeli military has developed AI systems like “Lavender”, “Gospel” and “Where’s Daddy?” to process data and generate lists of targets, reshaping modern warfare and illustrating AI’s dual-use nature.
Palantir Technology Inc., whose tech collaboration with Israel long predates October 2023, expanded its support to the Israeli military post-October 2023.
There are reasonable grounds to believe Palantir has provided automatic predictive policing technology, core defence infrastructure for rapid and scaled-up construction and deployment of military software, and its Artificial Intelligence Platform, which allows real-time battlefield data integration for automated decision-making.

It is no coincidence that Starmer is more than willing to allow US Palantir unlimited access to the UK’s public infrastructure.
It is no coincidence that US Palantir are using its tech to massacre Palestinians in Gaza.
It is no coincidence that Blackrock, Palantir, and 58 more of the most powerful corporations in the world are currently prepping Gaza for Trump, Netanyahu, and the Tony Blair Institute's plans for a luxury Gaza Riviera replete with SEZs, while simultaneously building a 'Humanitarian City' (a concentration camp) for all remaining Palestinians.

The role of corporate entities in sustaining Israel’s illegal occupation and ongoing genocidal campaign in Gaza is the subject of this investigation, which focuses on how corporate interests underpin Israeli settler-colonial the twofold logic of displacement and replacement aimed at dispossessing and erasing Palestinians from their lands. It discusses corporate entities in various sectors: arms manufacturers, tech firms, building and construction companies, extractive and service industries, banks, pension funds, insurers, universities and charities.
These entities enable the denial of self-determination and other structural violations in the occupied Palestinian territory, including occupation, annexation and crimes of apartheid and genocide, as well as a long list of ancillary crimes and human rights violations, from discrimination, wanton destruction, forced displacement and pillage, to extrajudicial killing and starvation.Image
