In 2023, the then-Conservative government awarded Palantir with a £330m contract to “build a new NHS data platform”. The move proved controversial because Palantir is a US spy tech firm and its co-founder Peter Thiel is a prominent Trump donor with links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, a trove of leaked emails have shone further light on Thiel’s connections.

Yeah I'm not surprised about the Thiel/Epstein thing, I'm more surprised that the NHS is considering any sort of private health data handling by PALANTIR of all companies.

    Somebody is going to be getting a Non-executive board membership or millionaire consulting "gig" from one of Tiel's companies or one from one of his friends...

    By this point in time in Britain that kind of I thing has been going on long enough to almost be tradition.
