Palantir has been paying Tom Watson since November 2024. He kept voting in the House of Lords the whole time: 30 votes on the Crime and Policing Bill while Palantir was chasing a £50m Met Police contract, 8 on the Border Security Bill, 5 on the Data Bill.In March he took leave of absence. In May the Lords replaced his register of interests with one line: "On leave of absence; exempt from registration." On 18 September Palantir made him its UK senior vice president.Palantir's £330m NHS contract has a break clause in February 2027. The government decides by December. Two Commons committees and more than 100 NHS data specialists have said use it. Watson's job is to make sure that doesn't happen.Over 2,000 letters sent so far. Three more take one click: your MP, the Lords Conduct Committee and the Commons inquiry into propriety and ethics.Act now in the @newscord_org action hub.Full editorial by @nima_akram_
