@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialWith Palantir lobbyist Lord Watson on the airwaves again today, here's Foxglove's @marthadark.bsky.social explaining why the firm was so keen to hire a new Labour peer - following the disgrace of Lord Mandelson: www.techpolicy.press/palantirs-ne...

@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialThe public should not be paying for the social and environmental costs of Big Tech's data centres.
Join our call on Andy Burnham to stop the construction of data centres that will harm the climate or the local community:

@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialEncouraging news: UK Govt is reportedly considering alternatives to Palantir in the NHS:
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialWhy aren't US tech giants providing communities with the information they need on proposed data centres?
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialThis is happening tonight - still time to get (free) tickets: hear from the people working to challenge Zuckerberg's appallingly harmful business model
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialIs Palantir hoping that Lord Watson can provide the Labour connections they previously relied on Lord Mandelson for?

@marthadark.bsky.socialReposted by @foxglovelegal.bsky.socialThank you @faisalislam.bsky.social for including @foxglovelegal.bsky.social's Woodlands win in your great piece about data centre backlash. Much more in the works..
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialAs the Scottish Parliament debates a data centre moratorium, a reminder that Foxglove's research found those in the planning system could consume 75% of the country's current electricity demand. Govts need to act to ensure the public don't bear the cost, while Big Tech walks away with the profit.
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialDevelopers in the UK want to build Elon Musk-style, gas-powered data centres, which will come with vast climate emissions. Join our call on Andy Burnham to rule these out: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialICYMI: together with Housing Assembly, we're challenging a US data centre giant's attempts to build a new facility in Cape Town - without providing even the most basic info about its impact on power, water, the environment or local communities:
@marthadark.bsky.socialReposted by @foxglovelegal.bsky.socialNew case alert 🚨 together with our friends at Housing Assembly and represented by Legal Resource Centre we’ve filed a new legal case challenging plans for a hyperscale data centre in Cape Town. @foxglovelegal.bsky.social. More here
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialYet more evidence that claims about the benefits Palantir provides to the NHS just don't hold water. A former minister who once defended them has now called for a review.
Important investigation from @lbc.co.uk
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialThe FDP contract says Palantir must present an exit plan to the NHS by the end of this month and must provide up to two years’ transitional support while an alternative is found.
In other words – the NHS is actually in a great place to ditch Palantir: www.digitalhealth.net/2026/09/nhs-...
@dncampbell.bsky.socialReposted by @foxglovelegal.bsky.socialImportant research from @meadwaj.bsky.social showing jobs claims around data centres are hugely overblown: "vast new datacentres arrive at significant real costs to local communities and even our climate ambitions, and their use case has to be made by the government and industry".
@foxglovelegal.bsky.socialA proposed data centre in Scotland is seeking a connection to the gas grid - raising questions about its use of polluting fossil gas power:
