The UKRIO Deception: How Westminster Enabled Palantir Approvals on the Public's Behalf

The UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO) — the UK's national advisory body for research integrity — has Dr Gareth Conway, Head of Science and Technology Ethics at the MoD's Dstl, sitting on its Board of Trustees. Its website is maintained by Henson IT Solutions, the same vendor that built Anonyvoter, a compromised voting platform procured without tender by Labour. A structural conflict of interest: the body meant to ensure research independence is overseen by defence personnel, while the government it should scrutinise awarded over £670 million in Palantir contracts without genuine independent oversight.

Anonyvoter: How a Voting Platform Enabled Democratic Capture

In 2020, the UK Labour Party procured a voting platform called Anonyvoter without tender, without audit, and without basic security controls. A source code analysis revealed 8 critical vulnerabilities and 6 structural deficiencies — a system designed to allow vote rigging with no logging, no oversight, and no way to verify outcomes.
