Far from Britain being subjected to austerity, politicians have been quietly haemorrhaging our money on everything from diversity initiatives… to think tanks… to a Bolivian student decolonising Bolivian museums in Bolivia.
Will we be investigating all government waste, and uncovering patronage networks that are disrupting democracy.
Welcome to DOGE UK, where we shine a light on the money trails that power everything from universities and charities to NGOs and activist groups across the entire political spectrum.
We’re not here to play favourites or point fingers – more as impartial referees in the grand game of funding transparency.
Government, foundations, charities, and organisations pour billions into these entities every year, and this data is already out there in the public domain… if you know where to look (most folks don’t, because it’s hidden in plain sight like a ninja in a library).
To collate, investigate, and report on it all – the good, the bad, and the “what? really?” so you can see the full picture without the spin.
Whether it’s funding that builds bridges (literally or figuratively) or ones that raise eyebrows, we expose it transparently and let you decide.
Dive into our free public resources, findings, and raw data sources, because knowledge isn’t just power… it’s your right.
