Former Labour deputy Tom Watson joins Palantir as £330M NHS deal nears break point

Former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, Baron Watson of Wyre Forest, has joined Palantir as a senior vice president. Watson announced the appointment on X, describing Palantir as the most interesting company on the planet due to its work helping Britain and allies defend themselves and police protect citizens. This move occurs as the US spy-tech firm's £330M NHS deal nears a break clause, though Palantir insists Watson is there to build things, not open doors.
