This morning on BBC Cambs, I called out the unfair tax penalties on South Cambs families hosting Ukrainian refugees. The Govt must fix this—not leave them stuck in bureaucracy. I have already met with Ministers and will continue to push for action to be taken #HomesForUkraine #FairnessForHosts #scdc

BBC News have noticed MHCLG's blog post from early last month:

'Millions' of pounds saved by replacing Palantir tech in refugee system www.bbc.com/news/article...

Oh @edent.tel alerted them, that tracks

#HomesforUkraine #govtech #datasharing
Millions of pounds have been saved by replacing a Palantir IT system which helps to find homes for Ukrainian refugees with one built by its own experts, a government department has said. The Homes for Ukraine scheme matched people fleeing the conflict with offers of accommodation – a complex task Palantir initially supported for free but which grew to cost millions. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said its new system was "more flexible" and could meet "high standards" of security.

From emergency to sustainability: creating Share Homes for Ukraine data mhclgdigital.blog.gov.uk/2026/04/09/f... from MHCLG Digital

Not identified in MHCLG's posts (for some reason) but I gather the replaced system was Palantir's Foundry platform

#HomesforUkraine #datasharing #govtech #govcomms
The initial emergency response relied on an existing supplier-owned platform. However, longer term, we wanted to replace the platform with a more flexible technology solution, enabling the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to save significant support costs, control the system data and code, and ensure the service met high standards of security, resilience and usability. In the summer of 2024, we started building our own system for managing Homes for Ukraine data. We needed a system that would provide service continuity and secure data sharing between central government, local authorities and devolved administrations, with more sustainable running costs. We chose to build 'Share Homes for Ukraine data' (or 'Share' for short) in-house, giving MHCLG full ownership to adapt the system based on user needs and expand to further use cases.

Angus Council Apologises for Data Breach www.angus.gov.uk/news/angus_c... (Scotland)

#HomesforUkraine #localgov #dataprotection
Personal data from an Angus Council online test system has been released into the public domain via posts to two closed Homes for Ukraine themed Facebook groups. The council moved swiftly to disable the link once it had been made aware of the breach. It is as yet unclear how this happened and is currently part of the council’s investigation, which, if appropriate, will be reported to Police Scotland. While the full details are still under investigation, it is understood that the data released contained personal details of prospective Ukrainian guests and their Angus-based hosts. All were part of the Homes for Ukraine Resettlement programme. The data was contained within a system, not a file, so was not available to be digitally exported, although it could potentially have been copied.

No questions about #ux, other than final Q about why you might use other systems. Very wise.
20. If you use other systems for tasks that could be completed in Foundry, please give us your primary reasons for doing so

-> Circa 𝟰𝟴,𝟬𝟬𝟬 of the refugees are adult men.
-> UK Households were getting paid £𝟱𝟬𝟬 per month, but this has since dropped to £𝟯𝟱𝟬!
