Leaked emails reveal that the tech giant Palantir has hired public relations company Topham Guerin to pay influencers to attack Good Law Project on social media – but the source of the money is to be kept “confidential.”
Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation that uses the law for a better world. “We know that the law, in the right hands, can be a fair and decent force for good. It is a practical tool for positive change and can make amazing things happen,” they say.
The following was published by Good Law Project on 22 December 2023.

PR firm that works for the Tories and Palantir offers to pay for attacks on us
Emails and a secret briefing document reveal a paid-for campaign to attack the Good Law Project on social media. Influencers are asked what their “fee expectations” are for agreeing to send two tweets, one a video and the other a follow-up written tweet. Those who accept the offer – which bears the branding of Topham Guerin – are told they must “keep the brand confidential and not tag Palantir.”
The document is explicit that the Good Law Project alone is the target:
“They are a not-for-profit campaign organisation and have been extremely critical of the contract being awarded to Palantir. They’re spreading fear that as a result of this contract being awarded, private patient data across the United Kingdom may be at risk.”
Good Law Project has, indeed, been raising concerns about the £330 million deal between Palantir and the UK government to process millions of NHS patient records. The company’s founder, Peter Thiel, has supported Donald Trump and has said that the NHS “makes people sick.” And Palantir has worked with the CIA and helped the US Immigration Enforcement agency implement Trump’s punitive deportation policies back in 2017.
We have announced that we are launching legal action – working with a boutique law firm specialising in digital rights – concerning what we believe to be a lack of safeguards in the way NHS England uses patient data. We want you to be able to set firm limits on what can be shared, including within Palantir’s Federated Data Platform as it is fully implemented.
And we are not the only ones who have raised questions over Palantir’s contract. NHS patients, cross-party Members of Parliament, civil liberties groups and many other organisations like the British Medical Association have all done the same.
The email and briefing papers also reveal that Palantir has teamed up with Topham Guerin, a controversial PR company which worked for the Conservative Party. During the 2019 General Election, for example, the company rebranded the party’s Twitter profile as a fact-checking account and set up a website linking to a fake Labour Party manifesto.
Good Law Project, described by the New York Times as a “British governance watchdog,” and its founder, Jolyon Maugham, face frequent attacks from senior Tory figures and the Conservative Party’s interests in the press. In 2022, Jolyon Maugham was mentioned ten times in a press release sent out by Rishi Sunak – and branded “Public Enemy Number One” in the Express newspaper. Maugham and Good Law Project are also subject to frequent attacks in the Daily Mail, The Times and the state-backed BBC.
The briefing document discloses that Topham Guerin is prepared to pay for covert hits on its clients’ enemies, and raises obvious questions about the motivation behind other attacks on Good Law Project. The email goes on to say, “We are on a tight timeline for this one and would require a response as soon as possible with content going live before the new year.”
With our wide body of work that holds power to account, including exposing the PPE scandal, we’re used to the dangers of punching upwards. We can and will withstand these attacks. But the forces behind them and the dark money that fuels them must be brought out into the light.
In a follow up article, Good Law Project explained How Palantir and Topham Guerin’s plan to discredit them unravelled. Read more HERE.
Note: Good Law Project is attacked because of the work it does – and the threat it poses to the likes of Palantir and the Government. They can only do this because of donations. If you can, please support their work.

“They’re spreading fear that as a result of this contract being awarded, private patient data across the United Kingdom may be at risk.”
Important typo in that statement, sure Palantir meant spreading truth, putting our private data at risk is what they’re paid to do.
My hubby and i were daft enough to register with a practice when we first moved here, however, haven’t darkened their doorstep even once. Still receive texts to fill in questionnaires online, go for umpteen check-ups etc, which we just delete without taking any further action.
Really good pick again Rhoda, so important people know what it’s really about, which definitely isn’t their well-being.
I cannot abide either Palantir or the GMC. However, for the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the Good Law Project is threatening the GMC with legal action for failing to sanction doctors like Aseem Malhotra who speak out against the Covid vaccines.
WHAT A CROCK OF B.S.
Would know this kind of ‘Nut Job’ propaganda would run rampant about Trump when the Nazi Tories and Nazi Treasonous in the U.S. are now more terrified than ever before. Should the ‘Imperialist Nazi’s’ loss this Psy-Op Warfare towards their One/New World Nazi Order that’s really REGRESSION INTO A SLAVERY PAST UNDER SOCIO/PSYCHOPATHIC KINGS/DICTATORS…They know they will die.
Palatir is actually Establishment exactly as the Tories and this whole report is total and utter B.S. FREUDIAN PROJECTION of those guilty painting the opposition to be as they already are.
