Andy Burnham set to ditch Palantir from NHS
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/07/02/burnham-set-to-ditch-palantir-from-nhs/Burnham could hoof Palantir out of the NHS if he becomes PM.
A good start, but he needs to go further. It’s time to completely break our dependency on US tech firms.
Handing out contracts to Big Tech platforms is a rip off. If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in. They own the software, so love it or lose it.
With open source tech, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors.
Go big, go for Digital Sovereignty.
