- Palantir hired 32 senior UK government and public sector officials since 2012, including from NHS, MoD, Home Office, and Downing Street.
- The company's UK government contracts with NHS, MoD, and police forces face scrutiny, and its services are used by US immigration enforcement and Israel's IDF, with allegations of 'profiting from genocide'.
- Transparency experts warn of 'acute risk' of corruption due to the 'revolving door' between government and Palantir, citing potential abuse of privileged information.
- Palantir defends the hires, noting some are ex-veterans and that claims of a 'revolving door strategy' are inappropriate and disservice to veterans.
