Original: Palantir’s Tom Watson says ‘mob rule’ must not dictate awarding of government contracts
Tom Watson, Palantir's UK head and former Labour deputy leader, said 'mob rule' should not determine how government contracts are awarded. He also confirmed the data analytics firm would be willing to work with a future Reform UK government on immigration crackdowns. The comments come amid controversy over Palantir's public sector deals, and are likely to fuel debate about the firm's political ties and the influence of public pressure on procurement.
