The Revolving Door Spins Faster: Tom Watson's Move to Palantir The recent appointment of former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson as senior vice president at Palantir has raised concerns about the relationship between British politics and big tech.
This development is part of a disturbing trend where politicians and civil servants leave their posts to join companies with questionable ethics and significant influence in shaping public policy.
Watson's move to Palantir, co founded by Peter Thiel, a well known Trump supporter, and providing AI powered software to the Israeli military and ICE immigration crackdowns, is particularly concerning.
