NHS England has said that you cannot opt out of Palantir having your medical data and they refuse to review their policy. So if you live in England, Palantir, Donald Trump, Netanyahu and co have access to all your medical data. Nobody voted for this.

The BBC used to be a trusted source of unbiased information. We need it to be again. An independent and credible appointment system for the Board would be a good start. Political placements should have no part in the running of what is meant to be an independent institution.
