Between 2007 and 2015, Hazarika served as one of the most influential political advisers in Westminster. Working as a special adviser (SpAd) to Harriet Harman during Harman's tenure as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Equalities Minister, and interim party leader, Hazarika helped craft the landmark Equality Act 2010. She also prepared Harman for Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), turning weekly verbal duels into precision exercises.
Her success led to her appointment as a senior adviser to Ed Miliband ahead of the 2015 general election. Inside Miliband's team, she focused on speechwriting, media handling, and political strategy. Following Labour's defeat in 2015, she left official party employment but retained intimate access to Westminster's inner workings, turning her insider knowledge into a prolific career in political journalism.
