Foxglove

The Government must reveal all details of Peter Mandelson’s links to Palantir - Foxglove

Sign the petition for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm?

@kathimmel I don't disagree with the intent, but surely an actual government petition would have more impact?

Like, on https://petition.parliament.uk/

The Lords should strip Mandelson of his peerage.

@huntingdon yes, but that's highly unlikely, eh? 1917 was a hell of a year.

1916 was pretty bad, though, non?

@huntingdon i only meant that 1917 was the most recent introduction of an act to remove peerages.

While Palantir steered clear of the ID card contract, another firm with ties to Thiel, Persona, is being used for age-verification measures mandated by the UK's Online Safety Act.

@MissConstrue but palantir is still plenty involved in the UK through the MoD & elsewhere, so it's scary shit.
