The Guardian | ‘Doge of the left’ could save UK taxpayers up to £30bn, says new green thinktank by Heather Stewart Economics editor

Report by Verdant says rooting out waste, fraud and tax avoidance would save money that could help improve public services

A “Doge of the left,” could save up to £30bn a year for taxpayers by rooting out waste, fraud and tax avoidance, according to the first report from a new green thinktank.

Launched amid growing interest in the future manifesto of Zack Polanksi’s Green party, the Verdant thinktank will be co-chaired by James Meadway, a former adviser to Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell, and civil society campaigner Deborah Doane.
