A grassroots campaign against US data firm Palantir's NHS contract has gathered more than 200,000 signatures across multiple petitions, organisers confirmed this week. Campaigners want the government to terminate the £330 million Federated Data Platform deal, which gives Palantir access to NHS, police, military and council data. Ministers have already sought legal advice on triggering a break clause, with Palantir's UK boss accusing critics of being "ideologically motivated".
