Health Secretary Wes Streeting's links to private health and technology companies are under scrutiny after private reports to Peter Mandelson were released. Mandelson, a former Labor ambassador and longtime friend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, wrote to Streeting in June about meetings with US tech companies. No specific company was named. The release of the news comes at a time of concern over US tech giant Palantir's involvement in the NHS. In addition to the meetings, financial donations that Streeting received from donors are also questioned. Financial donations to politicians are common in the UK, but raise questions about influence and transparency.
