Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services arenโt for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.
Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.
Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.
Tell the government to end the contract!

Yet, the government pushed ahead with enforcing the rollout of Palantirโs technology.

I'm going to London on Monday. As a post menopausal woman, I am always tired and going to a funeral I will not look happy. Let's hope I don't bump into Zahawi. Though I might be tempted to give him a piece of my mind. Which will leave him feeling very tired by the end of it.

NHS deal with AI firm Palantir called into question after officialsโ concerns revealed
Exclusive: in 2025 briefing to Wes Streeting, officials warned reputation of tech firm behind US ICE operations would hinder rollout of data system in UK
Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said:
โThis looks like another example of a hugely wasteful IT contract, and the lack of public trust will make it unworkable. They ought to end the contract or not renew it and accept that the public is very concerned...โ

NSUN responds to the โsocial media banโ
Young people deserve protection from Big Tech, and it is only young people who can tell us how to do that.
At NSUN we welcome conversations about how social media companies exploit and harm young people. Big Tech must be responsible for the harms it profits from, but we do not believe a blanket social media ban will achieve the effects it claims.

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.
But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.
