After your podcast on corruption, Rory Stewart & ALASTAIR CAMPBELL , we have to find new ways of funding politics, what do you think of our idea of a ‘democracy voucher’ so individuals vote where state funding goes?

Last month I worked undercover at HMP Bedford, one of the most dangerous jails in the country.

I was hired by an agency without thorough checks - they didn’t even Google my name! - and then I was able to walk inside and interact with prisoners without security searches.
