Our colleagues over at Pod Save America have been reporting from Minnesota, and the protesters who are spending hours in sub-zero temperatures are absolutely incredible.

That woman is wearing, for the benefit of people listening to the podcast, a jacket that says, Grannies Against Ice.

It's extraordinary.

Oh, fuck off.

Like, I just, like, every time that man opens his mouth, just absolute nonsense.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned recently that we might see a UK ICE operating here if reform wins the next election.

We obviously already have a border force which does carry out raids and deportations.

Zoe, you're a political journalist, you're an expert in political messaging.

So what the fuck is happening here?

Coming back to ICE and immigration controversies, in some ways, ICE's tentacles are bizarrely already in Britain because concerns are mounting over links between ICE and Palantir.

That's a US tech firm founded by Peter Thiel, which has a seven-year contract to link and manage NHS patient data.

Last year, the BMA passed a formal resolution calling for the Palantir NHS contract to be cancelled, saying it, quote, threatens to undermine public trust in NHS data systems.

It's unclear how sensitive patient data would be processed.

Not only that, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights identified Palantir as complicit in war crimes and, quotes, profiting from genocide in Gaza.

In January 2024, Palantir signed a deal with the IDF to increase what it called its advanced technology provision.

After the break, are all the Tory MPs jumping ship to reform, really making it more electable?

And what will the King of the North do next?

Picture this, it's midnight and you're lying in bed, scrolling through this new website you found, hitting the add to cart button on that item you've been looking for.

After 15 minutes, you decide you've spent enough money and you just want to check out.

And then you remember that your wallet or your bank card is in the living room and you don't want to get out of bed to get it.
