ACTIVISTS are set to disrupt a cosy Ministry of Defence (MoD) party in central London tonight, celebrating a new contract with CIA-linked US surveillance firm Palantir.

Demands for contracts with the firm, founded by far-right tech tycoon Peter Thiel, to be reviewed have escalated following revelations that it won a controversial contract to handle NHS data while a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm Global Counsel.

Mr Mandelson’s office had also arranged a direct meeting between the firm’s CEO Alex Karp and British chief Louis Mosley, the grandson of fascist Oswald Mosley, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer last year.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) activists plan to hold a noisy demonstration outside the private party in a building where the Baftas are held in Mayfair, celebrating the MoD’s decision to award a £240 million contract this evening.

They will chant against the celebration of the controversial contract, as Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership remains under threat due to his appointment of the disgraced politician and friend of the late financier, paedophile and notorious human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as ambassador to Washington.

Speaking at the rally, PSC deputy director Ryvka Barnard will point to the tech company’s “active involvement in Israel’s genocide against” Gaza.

He will tell the crowd of demonstrators: “[This] should automatically disqualify it from playing any role in our public services and political life.

“It is disgraceful that the British government is awarding contracts to a company that has been so widely condemned for its involvement in war crimes, along with the privacy and other human rights concerns that have been raised against Palantir for years.

“As a signatory to the Genocide Convention, the British government should be taking steps to end its own support for Israel’s genocide by imposing a two-way arms embargo in Israel, and by holding companies like Palantir to account over their complicity.”

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has joined calls for an inquiry into government contracts with the tech firm again this week, pointing to involvement in US Ice immigration raids and Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

He called for Palantir to be excluded from British public services, including the NHS with which it also has a contract to manage patient data.

In the Commons on Tuesday, Mr Corbyn said: “Do we really want to be involved with a company like that?

“Cannot we just distance ourselves from Palantir altogether and have some ethical procurement policy across government. Not just in the Department of Defence but in other departments as well?”
