Andy Burnham to drop spy-tech firm Palantir from NHS, reports say
Andy Burnham, expected to become UK prime minister, is set to remove Palantir from the NHS despite the company's £330m contract. Palantir faces criticism for its ties to the Israeli military and potential involvement in unlawful actions in Palestine. The firm also has defense contracts in the UK and is under investigation for its AI system's role in a deadly missile strike.
