The New Dark Age

It’s been a pretty bad few weeks for US spy tech company Palantir… 👀

A Parliamentary Committee of MPs has launched a major new report, warning that UK contracts with Palantir put citizens’ data at risk.

They’ve also urged the government to trigger the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract.

This is huge. And it’s just the latest in a series of developments that cast major doubts over Palantir’s role in our public services ⬇️

• Last month, leaked documents showed senior NHS leaders were told that Palantir’s technology is eight to ten times slower at analysing data than the current NHS tool.
• Then, London Mayor Sadiq Khan intervened to block a £50m Metropolitan police deal with Palantir, having cited concerns about the company’s “values”.
• And just last week, we learned that disgraced US ambassador and friend of Epstein Peter Mandelson personally lobbied to secure a £750m Palantir contract with the Ministry of Defence, describing this as “his personal pride and joy”.

Every day, the pressure is growing to kick Palantir out of our NHS for good – so we need to keep the momentum up ✊

In case you haven’t seen it, we’ve put out a new video
summarising the latest Palantir news and calling on the government to
trigger the break clause in their NHS contract – help us spread the word by sharing!

We’ve also been speaking out in the press about why the British public do not want Palantir anywhere near our health data – click here to read my recent piece in LabourList.

The government is rapidly running out of excuses and
justifications as to why this dangerous company has been placed at the
heart of our health service. Our movement will keep speaking out and
campaigning until Palantir are kicked out of our NHS for good!

William, we rely on donations from people like you to fund this work – so if you can, please consider chipping in today.

Thanks so much for your support, and more actions to come very soon!
