Palantir is involved in the Ministry of Defence and handling sensitive NHS data
Palantir is founded by Peter Thiel (who has his own very right wing views) and is linked to J D Vance
Palantir is also linked to lobbying firm set up by Peter Mandelson, now UK Ambassador to the United States of America
‘Palantir gained a foothold in the NHS via emergency Covid-19 contracts awarded without normal competition or transparency. It has been working in the UK since at least 2014, enabling the Ministry of Defence to execute its digital defence strategy, and surveilling UK borders with the Home Office. Palantir’s UK branch is headed by Louis Mosley, grandson of British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley. Mosley has played a critical role in Palantir’s expansion from defence work to the UK public healthcare sector. The company’s reputation and relationships have been aided by Global Counsel, a consultancy and lobbying firm set up by Peter Mandelson. Palantir’s path to power has been facilitated by cultivating close relationships with senior NHS staff and government officials, and funding think tanks such as Policy Exchange and Institute for Government.’
