Palantir's integration with the UK's National Health Service through a £330 million contract has sparked political and financial concerns. One of Andy Burnham's early tests as incoming Prime Minister will be handling the 'scariest company' in the world. The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee has recommended the government terminate the deal due to a 'clear mismatch with UK values.' However, former Conservative advisor Camilla Cavendish has defended Palantir, arguing that 'what works matters.' The company has backing from The Times and The Telegraph, raising questions about how US tech firms influence global politics.
