US accused of meddling in #British politics with $500,000 grant for public #education

Documents published on #US embassy’s website prompt claims of attempt to export #Maga #propaganda to #UK

Using language that the pro-Trump Maga movement has sought to appropriate, a funding notice identifies a goal of fostering a “national conversation” about “shared civilizational values” underpinning US-UK ties. Priority will go to applicants aiming to celebrate “freedom of speech” and “limited government”.

UK: Palantir break clause

Cross party committee of MPs has just officially recommended that the government trigger the break clause in #Palantir's #NHS contract. The report states:

⚠️"Palantir’s increasing presence across the public sector represents an unacceptable point of weakness"

⚠️"The government's digital transformation ambitions could be derailed at any time by a decision taken outside our shores based on the narrow interests of a foreign commercial or state actor"

⚠️"Palantir will follow their #commercial self-interests in attempting to burrow so deep into the NHS that they cannot be #migrated away from"

⚠️"Of the small number of technology providers that the UK public sector relies upon, Palantir concerns us most"
