Report: Palantir Targets UK MPs With ‘Intimidating’ Letters

"British MPs who criticised Palantir in parliament received 'intimidating' letters from the US spytech firm".

Eg, Palantir warned Clive Lewis that it "was surveilling his activities relating to Palantir last month", a letter that Lewis described as “very Big Brother” & an “implicit threat”.

Last week, just forced Sadiq Khan to back down after the London Mayor tried to block the US spytech giant's contract with the Met Police.

Khan dared to say public money should go to companies that share London's values, and Palantir hauled him to the High Court. And after that, Khan's office released a statement praising the company - and Palantir is back in the running for the £50 million Met Police contract.

My question is ...

If Palantir can force the Mayor of London to back down, what will it do to ministers deciding the future of our NHS data?
