  "title": "NHS Health Data Contract Awarded to US Surveillance Company",
  "summary": "NHS England awarded Palantir a £240 million contract for health data infrastructure, giving a US surveillance company that works with CIA, NSA, and FBI access to UK citizens' medical records. Peter Mandelson, through Global Counsel, provides UK lobbying services with connections to Palantir's UK operations. This represents foreign surveillance technology being embedded in UK public health systems with minimal public scrutiny, despite the company's extensive intelligence community relationships.",
