Issue #001 covers three live UK policy decisions where a missing sovereignty framework is producing concrete procurement risk, right now, not in theory.
First: the £330M Palantir Federated Data Platform break-clause debate that reached Westminster Hall on 16 April 2026. Fewer than a third of 215 NHS trusts are actively using the FDP; the BMA has publicly called for rejection; the break clause is under ministerial consideration.
Second: the £500M Sovereign AI Fund launch, the first funded British programme title to contain the word sovereign. A policy signal, a spending category, and a vocabulary shift all at once.
Third: the Neighbourhood Health Framework (HCWS1411, 17 March 2026). Ten mandatory steps through 2026/27 across 43 pioneer sites. Every one of them will make data-sharing and contracting decisions that are sovereignty-relevant, whether the sites recognise that framing or not.
The spotlight: how the FDP crisis makes the sovereign-compute question operationally visible for NHS trusts, not just philosophically interesting.
