How Dark Money Took Control of British Politics

In this one-off event to mark the Death in Westminster podcast, Professor Kojo Koram and Dr Dalia Gebrial were joined by expert guests to uncover how secret offshore billions are ruining Britain. In front of a live audience at EartH in Hackney, they spoke to Peter Geoghegan, investigative journalist and founder of the influential Democracy for Sale newsletter, and Stephanie Brobbey, a “recovering” private wealth lawyer and founder of the Good Ancestor Movement.

What exactly is ‘dark money’? What is the Institute for Economic Affairs ? How are both impacting our politics for the worse? What can a former private wealth lawyer teach us about how to effectively crack down on this industry of financial hoarding? And what can everyday people do to highlight the danger of dark money in politics? This event accompanied a new four-part podcast series, Death In Westminster, produced by Planet B Productions and available from Novara Media.
