If Palantir’s technology is so useful that the NHS, the MOD, the Met and other depts need it, shouldn’t the British state just build its own version of it? Why would we put something so vital to our national security and our democracy in the hands of a private US company? This makes no sense.

We were definitely sold a pup by Thatcher. The experiment hasn't improved the water industry, only the profits of the companies that now own them. It needs to be brought back into public ownership now. With increased global warming, water security will become increasingly more important.
