Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’.
Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts.

Derwent Lees' picture is of Arenig Fawr, a high mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales; he painted here soon after returning from the south of France and Spain. In some of these works, he painted Wales as if it were in the Mediterranean.

More seriously, Farage knows that without Trump, he'd be a nobody. He's far to scared to openly criticise Trump. Trump would denounce him, Musk would pull the rug from under him, and he'd be finished.
