Meanwhile, the UK has signed contracts worth over £800 million with Palantir for NHS and Ministry of Defence systems. British MPs are now asking awkward questions about why their due diligence has reached such a different conclusion.

- Potential loss of national sovereignty
- Dependence upon foreign specialists in crisis situations
