Palantir’s defenders like to fall back on the importance of improving the NHS’s data systems. We agree – and that’s why the solution doesn’t lie with an American spy-tech firm, but with infrastructure built on public trust, staff buy-in and data sovereignty: https://bit.ly/4fqV6rL

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.
