Thames Water has paid over £1 million to Hakluyt, a corporate intelligence firm partly owned by a key adviser to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as it seeks to avoid renationalisation.
Editor’s Note: This situation raises concerns about the influence of corporate interests in government and the potential implications for public utilities. The involvement of a prime minister's adviser in such dealings could lead to questions about transparency and accountability in the management of public resources.
