When Andy Burnham served as the Manchester regional mayor, he did so in the only region of England that refused Palantir access to its data. Now, as British prime minister, Palantir could be his first major test in office.

Andy Burnham once kept Palantir out of Greater Manchester. His first test as prime minister is whether to cut the company’s £330 million NHS contract—and risk a rupture with Big Tech and Washington.
