Green activists, led by Zack Polanski, are putting pressure on the National Health Service (NHS) to stop using software from US tech giant Palantir. Despite evidence that Palantir's software has helped reduce waiting lists and speed up cancer diagnoses, the Greens are targeting it due to its work with Donald Trump's immigration authorities and the Israeli military. The company has won a total of £600 million in public-sector contracts, including a £330 million seven-year contract with the NHS that could be terminated by the end of this year if a break clause is exercised by Prime Minister Andy Burnham. Local councils such as Sheffield, Rotherham, and East Hertfordshire have passed motions opposing Palantir's software, citing concerns over its past work with contentious organizations. The pressure on the NHS to stop using Palantir's software has been joined by Labour, Liberal Democrats, and Left-wing groups such as Amnesty International.
