One of the other founders of Incisive Health was an adviser to Jon Trickett and their client list is the usual mix of pharma companies plus the General Medical Council, health charities like Alzheimers Research UK and 38Degrees. They'll take anyone's money in the healthcare sector.
Not a hill anyone should be arsed to die on but it doesn't necesarily mean he'll be lobbying on behalf of private healthcare from within the leader's office, although I'd worry how many of them will have his phone number already. TBH I'd be OK if he stuck to what PR guys are supposed to do rather than the modern version which appears to be to control every aspect of policy despite being completely unelected.
I'd be more worried about the fact that he worked on Owen Smith's campaign and we know what a rousing success that was.

I wonder how well Starmer and the Right. Hon. Member for McDonalds get on, given the former's legal history.
― ShariVari, Monday, 6 April 2020 15:14 (four years ago) link
Yep, otherwise I reckon she'd be in. Although she didn't back Starmer - I think she went for Nandy.

If Starmer's concerns are primarily presentation then why would he want either of those eejits within a thousand miles of an important job?

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/apr/06/hospital-admission-puts-new-focus-on-boris-johnsons-health
Purnell says the hospital admission will be difficult for Johnson who, like his father, rarely admits to illness or notices it in others. “When I worked with him as his deputy [in the Daily Telegraph’s Brussels bureau], he was certainly very, very intolerant of illness in others, and considered it as sort of a weakness.”
I mean of course he thinks like this, a lethal combination of blitheness and bullying.

So the charade that he was a-ok just a precaution lasted exactly 23 hours.
