Palantir's Tom Watson says 'mob rule' must not dictate government contracts
Original: Palantir’s Tom Watson says ‘mob rule’ must not dictate awarding of government contracts
Tom Watson, the former Labour deputy leader who now works for tech firm Palantir, said 'mob rule' should not determine how government contracts are awarded. Speaking amid criticism of Palantir's public-sector work, he also said the company would be willing to work with a Reform UK government on immigration crackdowns. His comments have drawn attention to the firm's growing role in UK government and its political flexibility.
Why now: A prominent former politician now lobbying for Palantir is defending the company against public backlash while signalling willingness to work with Reform UK.
