    Well, Palantir have abandoned their legal case against Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London) for obstructing their potential contract with the Metropolitan Police now that the Mayor's office has 'clarified' that the decision was not based on the firm's 'values of ethics'.... they're now able to compete for future contracts.

    However, with the un-flattering efficacy data coming out of the NHS, actually it may be pyrrhic victory as Palantir look less & less competitive now....

    @ChrisMayLA6 I worked on an NHS project that had another American company as a supplier. It became apparent that they were very ill equipped to handle UK health projects because the way a universal healthcare system works was completely alien to them.

    @ChrisMayLA6 At least there’s some hope that the usual idiots will not be writing the future tender requests. And can put something more legally bulletproof in the evaluations than “Are you Palantir, go away”.
