At the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, the Conference Arrangements Committee (CAC) blocked an emergency motion that would have forced a debate and vote on the government's contract with the data analytics firm Palantir. The motion was submitted by the Socialist Health Association and several local constituency parties.

The primary objective of the proposed motion was to compel the government to terminate the £330 million agreement, which involves Palantir processing sensitive NHS patient data. Proponents of the motion cited concerns regarding Palantir’s reported links to the Israeli military as the basis for their opposition to the partnership. By blocking the motion, the CAC effectively prevented the issue from reaching the conference floor, meaning party delegates were unable to formally express their stance on the contract during the event.

While the motion highlighted the potential for ethical conflicts regarding the company's military associations, the Labour leadership has generally maintained that the contract is essential for improving NHS efficiency and reducing patient waiting lists. The decision to block the motion reflects the party's internal tension between grassroots activists concerned with foreign policy and human rights, and a leadership team focused on public service delivery and private-sector partnerships. As of now, the contract remains in effect, and the party has not provided a public explanation for the specific procedural grounds used to block the motion from the agenda.
