News Summary
- Palantir currently holds contracts worth around £670m in the public sector.
- The largest is a £330m contract to manage healthcare data on the NHS Federated Data Platform.
- Campaigners are pushing for Burnham to use a break clause in Palantir’s contract with the NHS, which would see the deal end in 2027.

Another MP known to oppose the company is Clive Lewis, a vocal supporter of Burnhams ascension to Downing Street.
