      Nothing says “sane” like allowing a company full of actual fascists access to the country.

      We can’t keep blaming all this on the Tories… Since taking office Labour has kept things moving in the same direction overseeing new and extended Palantir contracts rather than pulling back. The £330m NHS Federated Data Platform deal has stayed in place and continued to be embedded across the health service, while a £240m Ministry of Defence contract was pushed through in 2025 without competition ([hansard.parliament.uk](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-02-10/debates/FECED111-4FA8-4343-BFAF-18D6C13808D0/MinistryOfDefencePalantirContracts)). On top of that we have Palantir expanding further into the state under Labour, including new work with regulators like the FCA… Labour’s pro AI stance has effectively meant these deals aren’t just being maintained, but extended.

      If you are registered with ourfuturehealth.org.uk, Palantir are partners. I didn’t realise this so I have requested all my data and samples to be destroyed.
      EDIT: to be clear it’s not a direct link, they are partnered with partners. I can only presume the data will flow but we’ll never know.

      Just the start of the takeover I guess. Sheeple are letting the govnt do this. But the UK citizen has honestly been under big brothers eyes for years. I’ve never in my life seen a place with more CCTV than the UK. Hell, if you say the wrong thing you can be arrested!

      What the hell is happening. Why is this parasitic company being allowed to waltz in and take our data

      Id love to know what sort of back handers are going on here as it’s supremely obvious that’s what is occuring.

      We really shouldn’t be giving contracts to this company and I’m really disappointed in Labour for doing so.

      Honestly, the really embarassing bit is going to be if our government is selling out to Palantir and our politicians *aren’t* getting big juicy undeclared “gifts” from rich tech oligarchs, and are just doing this because they’re fucking stupid and/or completely evil.

      Is Palantir the only company with the capability to provide this kind of service to the standard required?

      This data control shit is by far my biggest bugbear with labour. Stop it FFS! I’d be happy with the id cards and the internet controls if I had one ounce of faith that the data was secure and wasn’t getting sold to devil-nazis.

      I wonder how our security services rate these billionaires in terms of the Uk’s general security and way of life? I’d certainly have him on the top 10 risks board…

      My “favourite” fact I learned about Palantir the other day is the UK CEO is Louis Mosley, the grandson of THAT Oswald Mosley.

      And you’ll notice he has a liking for wearing black shirts – if you know about Oswald Mosley and BUF- you’ll realise why that’s quite the eye-opener
