Hello Lord Watson of Palantir. Here are some more "inadmissible facts" you have conveniently ignored.
According to NHS England itself, on precisely the figures you quote: āWe cannot therefore draw conclusions about cause and effect as other variables have not been controlled for.ā NHS England confirmed that these figures do NOT provide causal evidence that your employer's software created the improvements youāre claiming england.nhs.uk/digitaltechnoā¦
In July, the statistics regulator warned that NHS England would need to "include clear information about causality" in relation to these figures. Another inadmissible fact osr.statisticsauthority.gov.ā¦
When the Health Foundation compared hospitals using Palantirās discharge tool OPTICA with those that were not, its findings went against your purported figures. They "found no meaningful difference in delayed discharge performance in trusts that have adopted OPTICA compared to those that have not... We found no noticeable improvement in discharge performance among trusts using OPTICA." Worse, they also "found a marked deterioration in performance at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust after the adoption of OPTICA." osr.statisticsauthority.gov.ā¦
Days into your new role, and already publishing disinformation.

Iām taking action to stop Reformās corruption of our politics. Iāve written to Angela Rayner calling for a cap on donations from any individual to be included in the Representation of the Bill as it goes through the House of Lords.
Reform is a billionaire-backed project to dismantle the public realm, shred regulatory protections and hand what remains of state power to capital.
The recent multimillion pound donations they received must be seen as a chilling threat to our democracy. When the super-rich are permitted to influence political parties like this, it highlights a fundamental weak spot in our constitutional protections. Itās clear we need a stronger firewall around our democracy.
I know some are worried that donation caps could inadvertently hit trade unions as well. But targeting individual donors means that union donations ā made up of thousands of working people who can voluntarily decide whether their dues will contribute to political funds ā would not be included.
The real working class ā individual union members ā do not have millions of pounds they can so easily give away, unlike Reformās billionaire backers.

"Public ownership of water industry could save Ā£22billion, MPs are told."
Oh look, you were lied to, nationalising the water industry isn't going to cost you billions, it could in fact save you Ā£22 billion.

UKHSA report shows 2,877 excess deaths caused by May and June 2026 heatwaves, up from 1,500 last year.
Need a fundamental rethink about design of infrastructure, homes, shops, workplaces.

Whether it is or isnāt a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup

It's officially the hottest June day ever.

Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth:
That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.
Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

The UK govt is Palantirās 2nd biggest customer.
Why? Or, more to the point, how?
Our latest @thenerve_news investigation reveals a web of cronyism into the highest levels of govt.
But Palantir also has a spin machine that uses political journalists to launder its PR
