Rowing back on the decision to block Palantir from the Met Police is the wrong move.
Palantir should have no place in the UK's digital systems, whether it’s policing, the NHS or defence.
We must completely break our dependency on US tech firms, especially a company powering ICE and war crimes in Gaza.
