(For even more on the clear and present danger of Palantir, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, the US Department of War and the future of Europe, see the excellent Authoritarian Stack, here)

Palantir wants to weave itself into the heart of the British State. If they do, we could end up as an extension of the US Department of War. That’s not a special relationship. It's something else entirely: the invasion of the bodysnatchers

This is Louis Mosley (Executive VP of Palantir for the UK and Europe): Mosley is a former Conservative Party councillor, used to work as a research associate for Rory Stewart and is the grandson of Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists (and wears black shirts for his interviews)

This is Peter Thiel (Palantir Co-founder and Chairman): the libertarian billionaire; Mentor, former employer and mega-donor to J D Vance; Thiel has donated to Trump personally, and is described by some as the Kingmaker of the modern MAGA movement

This is Alex Karp (Palantir CEO): Author of The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief and the Future of the West (2025). Karp has a PhD in Neoclassical Social Theory and titled his dissertation “Aggression in the Life-World” (trans.)

Like Palantir, The Ministry of Defence say our data is safe. But experts call this “woefully naïve”, even “deliberately misleading.” US legislation could give the Trump administration access UK citizens’ data. Not much has escaped Palantir’s reach

Our revelations come in a month of geopolitical “rupture”, Trump said “sometimes you need a dictator”, and the UK signed a £240m Strategic Partnership with Palantir – just as Palantir-enabled ICE agents murdered Reneé Good and Alex Pretti. Some sobering quotes from our piece:

Now Palantir, full-on boosters of the Trump project home and abroad, are weaving themselves deep into the British State. History shows that once Palantir is in, they’re like knot-weed. You must dig them out by the root, before it spreads too far

Palantir is the company supercharging ICE with spyware and data mining. They have a deep relationship with the IDF's genocide in Gaza. They’re deep in DOGE, and their history’s littered with dark experiments like predictive policing

Other deals include back-end software for ALL public sector bodies, the Government Digital Service, DEFRA, software for post-Brexit Borders, AI platforms for councils, the Homes for Ukraine platform, and more. These stretch back to 2012 at least
