There is no limit to their stupidity…. Burnham set to ditch Palantir from NHS Left-wing critics have called for deal to be axed over US tech giant’s work with Israeli Defense Forces and US immigration Andy Burnham is set to ditch Palantir from the NHS, The Telegraph can reveal. The prime minister-in-waiting did not grant the US tech company any contracts during his nine years as Greater Manchester mayor, and is minded to take the same approach in No 10. Mr Burnham is reviewing the Government’s overall artificial intelligence strategy, and an aide said he believed “unfettered tech boosterism” was turning off voters. In his first keynote speech on Monday, he said he wanted to see social value play a larger part in contracts awarded by the Government. Mr Burnham is expected to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as soon as July 20, and will then have to decide whether to cut ties with Palantir two years into its seven-year, £330m NHS deal.
