Just wait for it, will probably make headlines soon:
---
Parlantir awarded another contract for £75m to run NHS England.
Ex NHSX's Indra Joshi to be in charge of operations.
---
This followed by a completely unintelligible speech by no. 10's actual tennant attempting to explain that which has no logical explanation.
Along the lines of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuJHmBW_bgU

Re: I have met her several times
If someone chooses to work for Palantir I do not want to work with them or in any sort of close proximity to them. Scum, the lot of them. Don't give me everyone needs to work, if Palantir will hire you then you shouldn't have any issue getting a similar job elsewhere.

The silence of the MPs
-> US surveillance-tech supplier Palantir
Not a single word from 'our' MPs about everything and everyone being under surveillance from a foreign intelligence company, when that company is American. That should tell you how much the entire political establishment has been subverted.

Re: The silence of the MPs
If your MP's are cut from the same cloth as American Politicians, then they will probably be tech illiterate lawyers who need help desk to set up zoom for them. So they will not know who or what palantair is, who peter thiel is. Hell they probably don't even know the lord of the rings reference.

'Best and Brightest'
"Palantir hires the best and brightest people from public and private sector organisations around the world."
So claims everyone else. OTOH, they are hardly likely to claim "We hire whoever is available, and scrape the bottoms of the barrels when necessary".
Was she a success at NHSX, or does Palantir just want the connections?

Re: 'Best and Brightest'
No one was a success at NHSX. That’s why it was closed down.
I would be surprised if she is still employed once the ink is dry on the NHSE contract.
I was watching the NHS Palantir platform in action yesterday and was surprised how clunky and slow it is, however it works and that puts it several leagues ahead of anything anyone from NHSX has touched.
