In 2023, the then-Conservative government awarded Palantir with a £330m contract to “build a new NHS data platform”. The move proved controversial because Palantir is a US spy tech firm and its co-founder Peter Thiel is a prominent Trump donor with links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, a trove of leaked emails have shone further light on Thiel’s connections.

    The most evil and corrupt person is linked to the most evil and disgusting person? Say it ain’t so I’m clutching my pearls over here.

      This isn’t even the first time Thiel has been linked to Epstein, but we never really hear about it for some reason. This isn’t even the first time he’s been linked this summer.

      Ever since that gawker lawsuit, it kinda seems like bad press about Peter Thiel gets buried almost as soon as it’s published.
