She’s also an expert in how political parties use data, and I discussed her new book on that recently on Never Mind The Bar Charts.

Among Kate Dommett’s great finds digging through election expense invoices was one to the Brexit Party for “emergency chair removal”. Quantity: 1. Cost? £5,000, plus VAT.
