I wonder what level of interest Tom Watson has in Palantir. I just assume Financial now or in the future. So depressing when so many politicians appear to be bought & paid for

To repeat, the penetration of Palantir into the UK's Govt & public sector is now alarming. This odious activity by political chameleon Tom Watson surely shames the Labour Party?

"Rather than defeat Reform in a battle of ideas, the political and media class wants them defeated through the law." You see, I quite like "we should not allow dark money to infect our politics and corrode our democracy" as an idea. But that includes the Koch brothers funding pretend-journalism.

What is happening to Reform UK right now, from a legal perspective, is alarming. Reform is the breakout party of the moment. A party that has come from nothing to threaten the exhausted duopoly that has long dominated UK politics. Now, rather than defeat Reform in a battle of ideas, it appears that there is a solid constituency within the political and media class that wants them defeated through the law.
