Calls for action as trio of ex-defence ministers take up lucrative private sector jobs, including with US spy tech firm that’s helping Trump deport migrants
Former ministers working for businesses that rely on government contracts is at best a soft form of corruption that corrodes democracy. At very least everything they do should be under a spotlight. Thanks Peter.
That Peter Thiel is involved does not surprise me in the least. If he is using his money and influence to change politics for a cash for information and introduction to the whole democratic worlds leaders should scare us! This guy and his company Palantir are trying their best to upend every democracy and there's alway going to be somebody who'll take their dollars for information to help his cause. I don't care if it's Labour, Conservatives or Liberals, he'll always find their price. It disgusts me no end! J D Vance got his job as second in command to the President of the the super power of the world, don't be surprised if he has him installed as the next president, either if trump dies while in office or during the next election in 2028. I'm thoroughly disheartened that this form of PAY TO PLAY politics has come to the UK. I feel that it's not worth voting anymore as the game IS DEFINITELY RIGGED. I can't believe how low we've sunk.
Hi Belinda. I'm British and returned to the UK after spending 43 years in Canada. Thx for liking my piece on Thiel. This guy is, along with all the people like him ruining countries world wide but nothing seems to come back to these rich dudes. It makes my blood boil. If it wasn't for trump these guys would have been consigned to oblivion. I don't care that he's rich I care that the rich think they can rule the world just - BECAUSE!

Please don’t overlook the use of Palantir in our NHS and, up to now, 2 police forces. Thiel is aligned with Musk and others of that ilk.
By 'our NHS' you mean NHS England. Interesting to note that the SNP-led Scottish Government has not employed Palantir in NHS Scotland.

"Inside Job" won an Oscar for showing how horrible the revolving doors are in the US.
That was FOURTEEN YEARS AGO. Why is the UK still operating in such a corrupt way at the highest levels?
