Andy Burnham reportedly considers banning Palantir from NHS, sparking right-wing backlash
Summary
Andy Burnham is reportedly considering banning Palantir from the NHS if he becomes prime minister, as part of a review of the government's AI strategy. An aide indicated Burnham believes "unfettered tech boosterism" is alienating voters. The move has sparked backlash from right-wing figures who have rushed to defend the US tech company, which holds contracts with the Israeli military and ICE. During his tenure as Manchester Mayor, Burnham did not grant Palantir any contracts.
