As an EU citizen, I watched the entire #WWDC2026 keynote just to find out in the last 2 minutes that most of it isn't coming to the EU.

Gemini DOES NOT power Siri

Apple foundational models power Siri

Those models are based on Gemini technology.

It is not Gemini.

Apple and Google have been clear about this since January.

There’s a lot I’d take exception to here, but
I’ll highlight two:

(1) the misinformation

Palantir does not own NHS data. We cannot use it, sell it, or move it. It stays inside each NHS trust, under NHS control, and the contract is the NHS’s to end whenever it likes. You may be right about NHS data being a goldmine, but it is not one Palantir can monetise, or would want to.

(1) the double standard

Your chief concern seems to be that Palantir’s contract with NHS is akin to letting “a foreign, state-adjacent company into critical national infrastructure.” You should apply this concern consistently then.

Yesterday, NHS England announced that 505,000 staff will get Microsoft 365 Copilot. The NHS also runs on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google. All are US firms. All have the same “deep roots in US defence and immigration enforcement” you mention with regards to Palantir. If US ownership, and having certain US government clients, are disqualifying tests, then surely these should apply equally to every such company?

Either US technology in the NHS is a sovereignty problem (in which case maybe the relevant news today is the 505,000-seat deal signed with Microsoft). Or it isn’t, in which case perhaps singling out Palantir isn’t really about sovereignty at all?

STOP PRESS: 43,126 drop in mainstream independent school pupils after VAT introduction, DfE figures reveal

New data from the Department for Education show that pupil numbers in mainstream independent schools, in England, have fallen by 43,126 since the introduction of VAT on school fees - in England.

The decline now exceeds the Government’s projected impact for the whole period to 2031.

This is significantly worse than the figures published this week by the ISC, which, as we noted at the time, did not cover the entire independent school sector.

These figures raise serious questions about the assumptions underpinning the policy and its impact on pupils, families, and schools. When actual losses have already surpassed long-term forecasts, the Government should urgently review both the policy and the evidence on which it was based.

As parents and schools warned, the Government’s forecasts were based on faulty assumptions that did not hold true. It’s time to end this tax. We all want great schools, but this is not the way to achieve that.

@BellaWallerstei The number of teachers at state schools has also declined. Where did the VAT money go?

[Laura Trott MP @LauraTrottMP]

Labour promised 6,500 new teachers. Today we learned that there are 1,900 FEWER teachers. It turns out Keir Starmer’s approach to promises is the same as he does with his messages - auto delete.

Wowser.

After my report on Monday showed that more large private schools were collapsing than ever before, now the ISC census data shows that overall private school pupil numbers are indeed hurtling downwards following the introduction of VAT on fees.
