Summary

Charlotte Gill is a journalist, investigator, and the driving force behind UK Doge, a movement dedicated to exposing government waste, corruption, and misallocated taxpayer money.

In this interview, we discuss the biggest government scandal you’ve never heard of—how vast amounts of public money is funnelled into ideological vanity projects, bloated quangos, and politically motivated initiatives, all while essential public services struggle. Gill exposes the deep state networks, shadowy funding structures, and NGOs that operate behind the scenes to reshape British politics without voter consent. We also discuss the Left’s strategic control over institutions, the rise of UK Doge, and why politicians refuse to tackle wasteful spending.
