Labour's annual conference has blocked a motion, put forward by the Socialist Health Association and three constituency parties, that urged the government to cancel a £330 million NHS contract with data analytics firm Palantir. The motion criticised the company over its links to the Israeli army. Party leadership control over conference business drew criticism from left-wing members.

Why now: Renewed anger over UK defence and commercial ties to Israel during the Gaza war and frustration at Labour leadership suppressing conference votes.
