British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has devised a 10-year plan to "end neoliberalism" in the UK, which involves hiring an American consulting group with a controversial past. Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a major management consultancy known for having former employees such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Burnham's Chief of Staff James Purnell, has been enlisted to assist in drafting the proposed plan.
BCG has faced criticism for its alleged involvement in war crimes and genocide, specifically in connection with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) that the consultancy helped establish. GHF's security company was implicated in the killing of over 2,600 Palestinians in Gaza, as well as the injury of thousands more. The group managed four aid distribution sites in Gaza, where Palestinians seeking assistance were deliberately targeted by Israeli soldiers or US security contractors employed by the organization.
