Exactly. It wasn't obvious until I read the linked BBC article [1] that:
"Millions of pounds have been saved by replacing a Palantir IT system which helps to find homes for Ukrainian refugees with one built by its own experts"
It is noteworthy that a government department decided it could meet its requirements without a 3rd party provider. Could be the start of a trend but a wholesale move away from PLTR this isn't.
For all practical purposes Westminster is also the English Assembly, so there is no reason to believe a putative devolved English Assembly would have decided otherwise. Now, a devolved Northern English Assembly, that would be far more interesting.
Sort of but then you have the west lothian question, about Scottish or Welsh MPs voting on English issues. For instance these MPs should never have voted on student loans

The title makes it seem like they're personally escorting Alex Karp away from the UK to his Colorado monastery.
UK Government Kicks Out Palantir*
*in one specific contract
Good, now let's drop the Palantir's contract with NHS.
This is what I thought this post was about originally
I mean it’s a big reach to use that title for the actual content, but a good find nevertheless
Id originally thought the nhs contract covered the whole UK, but the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales arent covered
I honestly feel an English assembly covering NHS wouldnt of allowed it
