Last night, hundreds of NHS patients, health workers and activists gathered outside Palantir’s HQ to demand that the government cut Palantir’s £330m contract with the NHS. Palantir - the international spytech company working with ICE and the IDF - has no place in our NHS ❌

In light of all the Telegraph-based rumours buzzing around about whether Andy Burnham (predicted to be next PM) will or will not roll back on Palantir’s £330m contract with the NHS, here are some pics from our protest as a reminder of what community resistance to Big Tech looks like in action.

Why are people so worried about the future when we have coppers like PC Comics travelling a few light years to protect it?! That's one easy way to eliminate crime altogether - get 'em before they do it! Makes sense, right? #police #themet #facialrecognition #palantir #technology

The NHS have signed a £50m contract with the spy-tech company Palantir. BUT in February 2027 there is a break clause in the contract. That’s why we’re protesting on June 11th, outside the NHS’ biggest conference of the year, to ensure that this break clause is put to good use. Link in bio! 🔗

The government is trying to sidestep residents' concerns by tweaking the law to designate key projects as having critical national importance, and therefore preventing these constructions from being subject to judicial review. Is this what democracy looks like?
