Sadiq Khan's office blocked Palantir's deal with the Met police, saying there had been a'clear and serious breach' of procurement rules. London mayor accused of'putting politics above public safety' for rejecting deal to use AI in intelligence analysis Fri 22 May 2026 09.45 EDTLast modified on Fri 22 May 2026 09.55 EDT Palantir has accused Sadiq Khan of "putting politics above public safety" after the London mayor blocked its £50m contract with the Metropolitan police in a move that has also led to tensions inside Labour over its involvement with the US tech company. Louis Mosley, who heads Palantir in the UK and Europe, accused Khan of politicising procurement after he rejected a two-year deal for Scotland Yard to use AI to process intelligence in criminal investigations, as first revealed by the Guardian. Mosley said: "What Londoners value is not being mugged, not being raped by a serving police officer." The Met had planned to hire Palantir, which was co-founded by the Trump-supporting tech billionaire Peter Thiel, to automate aspects of investigations.

'At a loss for words' - Destiny 2 fans react to news support is ending The makers of Destiny 2 will stop releasing content updates for the game, effectively drawing to a close one of the industry's longest-running live-service eras. Bungie said the influential online shooter - which has attracted millions of players - will be getting its final update on 9 June, though it will remain playable beyond that. It follows months of fan speculation on the game's future following delays, falling player numbers and the release of Bungie's new shooter, Marathon. UK-based Destiny content creator My name is Byf posted: Saying goodbye like this is more painful than I can fathom, adding: I can only hope the road doesn't end here for good. For fans, the announcement may not have come as a complete surprise, but it was still met with shock and sadness. It's been my entire adult life, said Destiny YouTuber Datto in an emotional video update after the news was released.

The Download: coding's future, the 'Steroid Olympics,' and AI-driven science
Plus: Trump has postponed an AI order due to overregulation fears. Anthropic's Code with Claude showed off coding's future--whether you like it or not At Anthropic's developer event in London this week, Code with Claude, attendees were asked if they'd shipped code written entirely by Claude. Almost half the room raised their hands. Many admitted they hadn't even read the code before pushing it live. As tools like Claude Code get better, more and more developers are happy to hand their work off to AI. Anthropic says it wants to push automation as far as it will go. But not everyone is convinced that's the right approach.
