5 peopleDrawing on his own experience of growing up in poverty, the author traces a reality shaped by institutions, prejudice, and arguments about personal responsibility. Blending memoir and social criticism, the book probes the roots of inequality and anger in modern Britain.
Rather than reducing poverty to a personal failing, it returns to the lived texture of what deprivation actually feels like.
Through investigative reporting on Cambridge Analytica, the story exposes the use of data, political manipulation, and information warfare in modern elections. It is less a single-news event than a sustained account of how democracy can be distorted from behind the scenes.
Persistent reporting brings the political mechanics behind election data into the light.
The report combines data analysis and on-the-ground reporting to show how poverty and mental ill health intersect in towns left behind by the wider economy. It conveys life on the margins not only through statistics but through the texture of individual experience.
By layering statistics with field reporting, it gives shape to the hidden structures of exclusion.
