Palantir sued Sadiq.

Monday, 20 July 2026 — 38 Degrees

A major investigation just exposed how Palantir’s NHS data platform, which cost £330 million, is a GIANT waste of money – with swathes of NHS staff barely using it because it’s so rubbish. [1] What’s more, the evidence used to ‘prove’ its benefit is apparently totally flawed and full of errors. 🤦 [2]

Yet this controversial company still has access to our patient data. [3]

The good news is that there are rumours Andy Burnham wants to kick out Palantir from our NHS. [4] But you can bet Palantir’s army of lobbyists won’t give up without a fight – like when they sued the Mayor of London for blocking their £50 million Met Police deal. [5] That’s why Burnham needs to know the public is behind him.

By launching a massive, undeniable wave of public pressure right now, we can show the incoming PM exactly where the country stands on Palantir, and give him the backing to kick Palantir out of our NHS – and our police – for good.

So William, will you sign the petition demanding our new PM kills this disastrous contract with Palantir?
Palantir isn’t just another tech company. It was co-founded by
billionaire Trump mega-donor Peter Thiel and has been widely criticised
for supplying tracking software to Trump’s ICE immigration agency and AI targeting technology to the Israeli military. [6]

The company also reportedly hired disgraced Lord Mandelson’s lobbying firm to cosy up to politicians as they tried to secure its massive NHS contract. [7]

William, our NHS should answer to patients, not billionaires and
corporate lobbyists. Will you sign the petition to tell the incoming PM
to kick Palantir out of our NHS and police?

Thanks for being involved,

Olivia, Tom, Matt and the 38 Degrees team

2026 is a make-or-break year. And we need you.

Our country is facing serious crises –
from Donald Trump suing the BBC for $10 billion, to billionaires trying
to interfere with our democracy, to our NHS at risk of privatisation. If
we’re going to rise to this, it’ll take all of us chipping in where we
can.

William, if you don’t already do so, will you start a monthly
gift today? You’ll give us the stability to plan ahead, hire dedicated
staff, upgrade our activist tech, and keep campaigning for a better
country in this crucial year ahead:
