| Replacing one tiny contract, on what sound like performance criteria, is not close to kicking them out. |

| ▲ | sanjayjc 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Exactly. It wasn't obvious until I read the linked BBC article [1] that: "Millions of pounds have been saved by replacing a Palantir IT system which helps to find homes for Ukrainian refugees with one built by its own experts" It is noteworthy that a government department decided it could meet its requirements without a 3rd party provider. Could be the start of a trend but a wholesale move away from PLTR this isn't. [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2l2j1lxdk5o |

| The title makes it seem like they're personally escorting Alex Karp away from the UK to his Colorado monastery. |

| I mean it’s a big reach to use that title for the actual content, but a good find nevertheless |

| ▲ | fiftyacorn 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Id originally thought the nhs contract covered the whole UK, but the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales arent covered I honestly feel an English assembly covering NHS wouldnt of allowed it | | |
| ▲ | fmajid 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | For all practical purposes Westminster is also the English Assembly, so there is no reason to believe a putative devolved English Assembly would have decided otherwise. Now, a devolved Northern English Assembly, that would be far more interesting. | | |
| ▲ | fiftyacorn 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Sort of but then you have the west lothian question, about Scottish or Welsh MPs voting on English issues. For instance these MPs should never have voted on student loans |
