Cashing in: How dark money distorts our democracy – with Peter Geoghegan

Money talks – and that’s particularly true in politics. Will we ever know where the cash that influences our politicians comes from? Seth Thévoz speaks to Peter Geoghegan, writer of the popular substack Democracy for Sale, about the shadowy organisations and flows of cash that influence our political institutions in The Bunker. 

• “The Tufton Street crowd is very influenced by what’s happening in the states.” – Peter Geoghegan
• “Labour promises to crack down on dark money have been watered down time and again.” – Peter Geoghegan
