Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior VP at Palantir UK, wrote to me defending their public contracts. Instead of trading letters, I’ve challenged him to an open, public debate. He can defend Palantir’s ethos; I’ll argue for public accountability. Will you accept, Tom?
Formal letter from Clive Lewis MP, Member of Parliament for Norwich South, to Lord Thomas Watson of Wyre Forest, Senior Vice President of Palantir Technologies UK Limited, dated 7 October 2026. In the letter, Lewis challenges Watson to a public debate regarding Palantir's role in government contracts and public institutions. Lewis rejects Watson's claim that criticisms malign software engineers, stressing that elected officials must scrutinize corporate power, democratic control, and public accountability. He proposes a debate with an impartial chair, equal time, and audience questions.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

I cannot stand Farage but there’s something so deeply repellent about Jenrick, I struggle to express how much he disgusts me. But this is an excellent summary of his repulsiveness…. His downfall will be tremendous. And it is coming.
At any given moment you could ask yourself:
What's the most cynical, self-interested, irresponsible and yet also incredibly basic thing you could do now, and that's precisely what he'll do - whether it's making anti-immigration videos or joining Reform. And yet, despite the obviousness of the action itself, he will always pursue it with this look of deep seriousness, as if he were Napoleon devising the Italian campaign.

Extremely good sketch by @mrjohncrace.bsky.social from yesterday's PMQs, particularly this bit. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
That just left Nige to make political capital out of a young man’s death. Everything is just material for Nige. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything but himself. He is devoid of empathy, unable to see beyond his own vanity.

His imagined glories. King of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. “It’s now clear there is two-tier policing for different ethnic groups,” he began. Though he had no evidence to support this. Other than that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor would never have been arrested if he had been black. But Nige has never let the facts get in the way of his bigotry. And he has never needed his bigotry more than now.

Farage was not finished. There was anger spilling out on the streets of Southampton. Anger that he had done his best to stir up. He sounded disappointed that more people hadn’t been involved. He had asked for “pure cold rage”. But somehow the rage had not felt pure enough. Nor cold enough. Why couldn’t people even channel undiluted fury any more?

Starmer’s response was withering. He had the whole house, apart from the six Reform MPs, right behind him. He was disgusted with Farage’s comments. How dare he pretend to respect the wishes of Henry’s family. What he had done was unforgivable. The least anyone could do was keep quiet when asked. But Nige had, in a way, done us all a service. He had shown himself for who he really was. The whole country could now see through him.

It was as if we were watching the end of something. For 18 months, it has felt as if Reform is on an unstoppable roll. One triumph after another, as Labour and the Tories competed to be more useless than each other. But over the past six weeks, the shine has come off. They are the emperor with no clothes. Just another bunch of loudmouths with no answers. Just grievance.
