Is now the right time to remind people that it was #Mandelson who recommended #Palantir to #Starmer and #Streeting and those contracts on defence and NHS systems were made in a very non-standard executive heavy way…basically no procurement process.

@JugglingWithEggs I assume there is a scandal of PPI-esque proportions but with much longer term consequences waiting to break here.

‘On 27/02/25, #mandelson – then UK Ambassador to the US – accompanied Keir #Starmer on a visit to the Washington headquarters of #Palantir.
No official record has been published: no minutes, no transcript.
At the time, Palantir was a client of Global Counsel, the lobbying firm Mandelson founded.Since then, Palantir has signed a £240 million deal with the Ministry of Defence, on top of its £480 million contract to manage sensitive NHS patient data’

This was the Good Law Project’s executive director, Jo Maugham in April 2025:
“We don’t understand, at all, why Keir #Starmer and Wes #Streeting are banging the drum for this dangerous spytech firm”
“But Peter #Mandelson has a clear conflict of interest – and the failure to keep a minute of the meeting he arranged for the PM shows a kind of contempt for the public interest.”

“#palantir ‘s vice-like grip on our Government, and the role played by disgraced Peter #mandelson in brokering it, must be investigated urgently. All government contracts with this #Trump supporting spy tech company suspended immediately.
“The PM has questions to answer about how this military surveillance outfit, with clear ties to Mandelson’s own lobbying firm, has been handed record-breaking multi million pound contracts from public money without competition.”

@JugglingWithEggs a lot of governments describe themselves as Palantir clients and also as democracies. both are true at once.

Just a final visual reminder from #TheNerve of exactly where #Palantir ‘s tentacles extend to within #Starmer’s government…
Fun fact I didn’t realise until just now but Louis Mosley (Executive vice-president, UK and Europe) is the former research assistant for ex-Tory MP Rory Stewart (Rest is Politics podcast host)…and grandson of British fascist, Oswald Mosley.
Revealed: Palantir deals with UK government amount to at least £670m – including £15m contract with nuclear weapons agency
Exclusive: Nerve investigation finds Trump ally Peter Thiel's surveillance firm has won at least 34 contracts, including management services for Britain's nuclear deterrent, with MPs warning of 'gaping vulnerability' as US president threatens Nato allies. Carole Cadwalladr reports
