Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t 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.

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services.

Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you.

Please do keep sharing!
