Watson accused of threatening Lewis over Palantir criticism

Left-wing sites Skwawkbox and The Canary report that former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson allegedly threatened Clive Lewis after the MP criticised Palantir, the US data and surveillance firm that has hired a former UK parliamentary figure through what they call a revolving door. The story is circulating among UK politics and Labour-focused readers, many of whom are sharply critical of Palantir's growing role in British public services.
Why now: Claims of a senior Labour figure defending a controversial surveillance company have reignited anger over Palantir's influence in UK politics.
