  1. Submission statement: Sadiq Khan being the last Progressive prominent Labour politician pushing back against xenophobia and transphobia (unlike the rest of Labour) and working hard to block Palantir. Either way, this is an example of the backlash against Palantir leading to Palantir being restricted from parts of the public sector. Part of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s reasoning is “concerns about using public money to support firms who act contrary to London’s values”.

  2. Similarly, Palantir recently lost a contract it had for some IT work on refugee housing because the government ended up saving a ton of money by bringing it in-house.

  3. >Scotland Yard said the trial was a success, and that it resulted in police officers being investigated for misdemeanours, including making money by abusing the computerised roster system, falsely claiming they were in the office, ***and failing to declare they were Freemasons.***

    *Freemasons?*
