Thames Water paid £1m-plus to corporate spooks firm part-owned by Starmer adviser Exclusive: Hakluyt – formerly run by Varun Chandra – has been advising utilities company as it tries to avoid renationalisation

Revolving doors.

Thames Water paid £1m+ to corporate lobbyists part-owned by Starmer adviser.

The aim is to reach policymakers, keep TW private.

TW pays £200m a year to various advisers, cost borne by customers.

Public ownership would end this chicanery. No need to pay dividends, lobbyists.

Hi, I’m good thanks, how are you? Just followed back, thanks for the follow.

Our state has become a guarantor of corporate profits Equitable distribution of income and wealth would go a long way towards stimulating domestic demand and investment...

Neoliberal destruction of the NHS

UK has 2.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people
Germany 7.6
