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 Former Labour deputy leader sa

Tom Watson, former Labour deputy leader now working for US tech firm Palantir, has said 'mob rule' should not determine how government contracts are awarded. He also indicated Palantir would be willing to work with a prospective Reform UK government on immigration enforcement, drawing attention to the company's ambitions for UK public-sector deals and Watson's move from politics into the tech industry.

Why now: Watson's comments about working with Reform UK on immigration crackdowns are politically contentious at a time when Palantir is seeking UK government contracts.
