Ex-Met Chief Cressida Dick Revealed As Paid Palantir Adviser

UK Home Office, OGL v3, via Wikimedia Commons

Former Metropolitan Police commissioner Dame Cressida Dick has quietly worked as a paid adviser to US data firm Palantir since September 2025, an investigation has found. The disclosure lands as Palantir secures a £10m five-year deal with three east of England police forces. Labour MP Clive Lewis warned of a revolving door. Dick insists she gives advice only and has never lobbied for the company.
