Tom Watson’s move to Palantir is the latest sign of how far the rot has spread in UK politics. Like Blair, Cameron, Clegg, Mandelson, hired to open govt networks to companies and corporate capture of the state. They sell political capital built with public money. What do we get in return?

To be fair, the British still have a wee bit of that empire problem (witness meeting of the Celtic nations this past Monday). Still, Boris's support of Ukraine was his only redeeming feature.

Regardless of the side he professes to be on, which is that of a 'deal' that has nothing to do with making peace, his actions speak much louder. He has already betrayed Ukraine.
