Having awarded a major contract to (controversial) data firm Palantir, a growing number of NHS staff are refusing to work with the firm's tools for ethical reasons, with wider passive resistance to its deployment. One manger said: 'People are saying, β€˜I refuse to work on this software. You have to find something else for me to do’... They’re calling it a workplace adjustment. [as] if you were disabled & needed a different desk, they’re literally treating it like that'!  #NHS #Palantir h/t FT

Analysis Summary
This is real and well-sourced: NHS staff are indeed resisting Palantir's deployment through workplace refusal and formal union opposition. The British Medical Association voted to oppose the rollout, and fewer than 25% of hospital trusts are actively using the platform despite management mandates. The post accurately captures both the scale of resistance and the creative framing staff use (treating refusal as a 'workplace adjustment'). The quote about people refusing to work on the software reflects documented staff sentiment, though the specific manager quote isn't sourced hereβ€”the underlying reality of organized resistance is verified.
