Watson warns ministers on Palantir deals to follow rules, not pressure

Tom Watson warned UK ministers risk 'a lot of trouble' if pressure — what he called 'mob rule' — decides Palantir contracts. The former Labour deputy leader, now Palantir senior vice-president, told BBC's Political Thinking with Nick Robinson that procurement rules for buying must be followed. Whether that defence will ease scrutiny of Palantir's NHS and defence work remains unclear.
