Whenever I read PDF's, I used to think "this experience would be better if I faced multiple pop ups imploring me to use AI instead of actually reading" Now, thanks to Adobe, that dream has become reality.

Pubs have been a cornerstone of British social life for centuries. However, their continued existence is now under considerable threat due to misguided government policies 🍻 Investigations campaign manager @Callum_McGol explains why 👇

Great to see two of my @the_tpa investigations picked up by Reform as ridiculous examples of government waste We've been waging a war on waste for years:

From cost overruns of major government projects to how much local authorities have spent on cars for mayors’ usage, we have uncovered billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money that is being wasted.

🚨 Reform UK has published a set of proposals that put British citizens first. If Rachel Reeves adopted these measures tomorrow, she could save or raise £25bn this year alone, enough to plug the fiscal black hole without hammering working families with yet more tax rises.

£19 million MORE to Pakistan in foreign aid - a country that refuses to accept its deported rapists. Scrap all aid regardless, impose sanctions, suspend visas, tax remittances. Force the Pakistani Government to bend to our will. Britain still has power. I say deploy it.

Great to see one of my investigations in @Telegraph! We've handed £20m in aid to Ethiopia to “improve its economy”, including funding for their tax collection service. Why are we doing this when our own tax code is the longest and most complex in the world?

The Chagos Deal has been delayed! Hopefully, this will provide a chance for this costly and treacherous deal to be scrapped for good, which we estimated would cost upwards of £47bn. Though knowing this government, it could just be a cynical political stunt. We'll see.

My first investigation as Investigations Campaign Manager at @the_tpa reveals how taxpayers are funding contraception in Pakistan to the tune of £100 million. Why on earth are we doing this and why have successive governments reviewed and then continued the scheme?
