I'm glad the British Epstein Scandal is growing to encompass Palatnir and Peter Thiel, all thanks to Peter Mandelson

@ChrisMayLA6 This is inhumane treatment of NHS patients and staff by our govt! Subjected to substandard healthcare by replacement of doctors by non-medics. Pls sign/share widely. #MedicalTorture #TakeBackOurHealthcare #NHS #AskForADoctor #StopReplacingOurDoctors https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/dhsc-stop-replacing-our-doctors-implement-the-leng-review?share=f73bbc5a-3119-4191-aff4-f914d1be8dc7&source=&utm_source=
On a turnout of 53%, 93% of Resident Doctors have voted to continue their campaign of industrial action for another six months.... suggesting the absence of trust in Wes Streeting continues.
The Q. will now be whether the BMA can continue to (broadly) win the public argument on doctors pay - having navigated through the 'winter crisis' they may be able to keep people on side... but equally may have undermined the perception of their importance to the NHS?

Say no to Palantir in the NHS - No to Palantir
In 2023 the Govt handed £330m #NHS data contract to #Palantir – spy-tech firm with links to #WarCrimes in #Gaza, mass deportations in #US and a founder who thinks the NHS makes people sick
This software is rolling out across #England. But Palantir can’t be trusted with our health. We’re fighting back and demanding that #OurNHS stops using Palantir’s #toxic tech.

UK Politics, NHS, Palantir
The Green Party have told Pantir to "pack its bags and get the hell out of the NHS"
"my letter today to Palantir makes clear we will use every method at our disposal to force them out. Doctors have made clear they do not trust Palantir with patients’ private data, and with its appalling track record, I am with the doctors”.

Zack Polanski tells defence surveillance corporation Palantir to ‘pack its bags and get the hell out of the NHS’
The Green Party leader has today delivered a notice of contract termination to Palantir which has a seven year £330m contract with the NHS to build FDP, the ‘NHS Federated Data Platform’ to link and manage patient data.
Green Party leader Zack Polanski said:
I have today handed a letter to Palantir serving it notice to pack its bags and get the hell out of the NHS.
This Trump supporting military surveillance outfit has no place in Britain’s most important institution. The NHS cares for patients and brings our country together. Palantir’s most recent history is to actively aid and abet genocide in Gaza and to provide surveillance data for Trump’s paramilitary ICE squads, currently causing death and mayhem on the streets of America.
When Wes Streeting can take some time out from meeting his private health donors, he should cancel this contract right now. If he doesn’t, my letter today to Palantir makes clear we will use every method at our disposal to force them out. Doctors have made clear they do not trust Palantir with patients’ private data, and with its appalling track record, I am with the doctors.
There will be a review of the contract in 2027, with the UK government’s Contracts Finder database showing a formal contract end date of 15 February 2027 – so the government could end it then.
The contract was awarded by NHS England in 2023 by the Conservative Government. Palantir is also known to have close links to the Labour government, and it has been reported that the corporation hired Peter Mandelson to lobby the Labour Government to help them win more government contracts.
Palantir is an American technology company that specialises in artificial intelligence powered military and surveillance technology and data analytics and was founded by the Trump donor Peter Thiel.
The BMA last year passed a formal resolution calling for the Palantir NHS contract to be cancelled saying it, “threatens to undermine public trust in NHS data systems” and is unclear how the sensitive patient data would be processed by Palantir, citing the firm’s track record of creating discriminatory policing software in the US” and its “close links to a US government which shows little regard for international law”.
The Government has mandated providers and Integrated Care Boards to Palantir’s Federated Data Platform (FDP) to ‘start making use of core products, data capabilities and population health management tools by 2028/29, according to the Medium Term Planning Framework published by the Department of Health.
The Green Party objects to the use of Palantir on three main grounds:However, according to NHS figures, fewer than a quarter of England’s 215 hospital trusts were actively using FDP by the end of 2024. Some Trust’s are on record as questioning its functionality and purpose.
We do not trust Palantir and the Labour Government with the use of people’s health data. Aside from Palantir’s own disgraceful role in the genocide in Gaza, we also note the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood recently told the Tony Blair Institute that she wanted to use AI and surveillance data so that ‘the eyes of the state can be on you at all times’. The Labour Government is persistently pursing authoritarian policies, including prescribing Palestine Action, abolishing jury trials and attempting to introduce digital ID.
Palantir has aided the genocide in Gaza. In January 2024, Palantir signed a deal with the IDF to increase its “advanced technology provision” to Israel in support of war related missions. Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp says he is “exceedingly proud” of Palantir’s involvement in what he calls “operationally crucial operations in Israel.” The UN special rapporteur on human rights identified Palantir as complicit in war crimes and “profiting from genocide” in Gaza.
It has been reported in the past two days that Palantir is working on a tool for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. We believe ICE is acting like a personalised paramilitary police force to Donald Trump, and it recently shot Renee Good dead in cold blood.
