Health Secretary Wes Streeting is under pressure to scrap the NHSs deal with Palantir due to the companys US ties, but a leaked memo from NHS Englands top data boss praises Palantir for improving diagnoses, referrals, and treatments. Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski and left-wing doctors groups oppose the deal, citing Palantirs links to the US army and immigration enforcement. Critics like Polanski face backlash, with sources mocking his past claims of using hypnosis to enhance womens breast sizes.

Palantirs CEO Alex Karps anti-woke stance and support for the American military and efforts in Ukraine and Israel add to the pressure on Streeting to decide between sticking with the tech thats fixing the NHS or caving to political noise.
