"Sadiq Khan's office stated that the mayor would have concerns about using public money to support firms who act contrary to London's values, emphasizing the need for scrutiny in procurement processes."
"Palantir has held discussions with the Metropolitan police regarding a contract that could be worth tens of millions of pounds, raising significant public concern and opposition."
"More than 330,000 people in the UK have signed petitions calling for Palantir to be blocked or dropped from government contracts, reflecting widespread public sentiment against the company."
Sadiq Khan has expressed opposition to the Metropolitan police potentially using Palantir's AI systems for processing criminal intelligence. His concerns stem from the use of public funds to support companies that contradict London's values. Palantir has been involved in controversial projects, including work with ICE and the Israeli military. Over 330,000 UK citizens have petitioned against Palantir's involvement in government contracts. Khan's office will scrutinize any procurement above £500,000, prioritizing the security and data protection of Londoners.
