Over the next year @KatHall42 and I will be digging into some of the systemic issues surrounding the way Big Tech now shapes the lives of virtually everyone on the planet. Got tips, stories, leads or simply ideas about what we should be looking at? Get in touch...

Dom Cummings had a vision for the digitisation of the machinery of state: seeing rooms, data-driven efficiency, policy and governance based on real-time data flows. @KatHall42 and I investigated what he really achieved while in power economist.com/1843/2020/11/2…

"Next step to digital nation" promises Cummings as Government announces £150m deal with Serco for new pandemic management system.

Oh @KatHall42 and @OkayJudeMan you’re only *three* years ahead of Twitter’s BlueTick comedy jury 😊

Momentous week here as we say goodbye to our longest-running investigative project. Here’s a look back at 10 years of revelations behind ‘Shadow Wars’, and how we exposed the failings and wrongdoing of the world’s most powerful military and security forces

Waiting to see any evidence that UK government is planning to introduce "digital ID cards" that will be given to everyone, rather than a few national newspaper writers misunderstanding what "digital identity" means

If this much can go wrong with the A-level algorithm what are the stakes when they affect people who are less visible, and less vocal, than this year’s school leavers?

Imagine dying of #covid19 because you couldn’t afford to pay for oxygen to keep you alive. Are the companies who sell it in Africa profiteering?

The Home Office is to suspend use of a ‘visa streaming’ algorithm used in processing visa applications following a legal challenge from the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants and Foxglove claiming that the algorithm was racist in its application
