A senior NHS official privately urged colleagues to add more patient data into a Palantir-built platform at the same time as he was being paid to advise the US technology company. Matthew Swindells has been joint chair of four major hospital trusts in north-west London since April 2022 and has also since then acted as an adviser to Palantir through the now-defunct lobbying firm Global Counsel, which was co-founded by Lord Peter Mandelson.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform while also advising company www.ft.com/content/6c54... (£)

No conflict of interest? #Lobbying

After all, you were in the strategy department of Commission President J-C Juncker (2016–2020).

Then (2020–2023) you worked in the private sector at #Meta as director of public policy and head of the EU department.

Now you're back at the #EUP

High rates of GOP retirements aren't about 'politics.' They're about the lucrative revolving door from Congress to K Street. Public service becoming a resume builder for private gain. #RevolvingDoor #USPolitics

Lord Mandelson's 'shadow' looms over UK defense contracts. Another denial, same pattern: former officials, huge deals, zero transparency. How many times will we fall for the 'no role' line? #RevolvingDoor #Palantir #UKPolitics

In 2024, it's 'spy sheikhs' + crypto. In 2018, it was Flynn + Turkey. The method of influence shifts, but the revolving door for former officials remains wide open. #ForeignInfluence #RevolvingDoor

How should we think about revolving doors in government and the private sector?

A new article shows that not all revolving doors should be treated the same. There are big implications!

Sainsbury's, Budgens and Sports Direct are among the high-street businesses that have signed up to Facewatch, a cloud-based facial recognition security system that scans faces as they enter a store. Those images are then compared to a database of known offenders and, if a match is found, an alert is set off to warn the business that a shoplifter has entered the premises.
