Btw I always get people saying "that's hardly anything" when I post these things. Well, it's a SAMPLE!

I am tracking all the spending on @WokeWaste and bear in mind I'm a one-woman team:

Some of my most popular pieces:

Mete Coban MBE: Sadiq Khan's new high-flying eco adviser (on £148k per year)

Over £1m taxpayer-funding - to the professor specialising in gay "pig" masculinities

And for paid subscribers: How university grants quietly fuel Britain’s border crisis.

Paywalling some as I am doing the project 7 days a week - mostly for free (until the last few months with new paid subs - thank you)

Putting this as it exploded. If you want me to keep being nosy, please consider a paid subscription to Woke Waste. I don't want any funding to retain my independence. With £5 pm/£50pa, you can find our where your taxes went & help defeat "The Blob"!

My own suspicion is Carol Vorderman has been moved because she’s drawing too much attention to the fact that there may be a network of left wing shills - who aren’t as spontaneous as being presented - that Global (which owns LBC) realises is too obvious dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…
This is Josh Russell who coordinates The Movement Forward (at Vorderman’s book launch) Image

1) Green New Deal Rising 🧵- thread about the campaign group that protested Rachel Reeves this week: Image
2) The group's address is "144 Cambridge Heath Rd, E1 5QJ" Image
3) It's not the only left-wing campaign group linked to that address.

"We Deserve Better" is another - which has given funding to both Carla Denyer (pic 1) and Jeremy Corbyn (pics 2 and 3):

Seeing as The Guardian is monitoring politicians' flights, here's Sadiq Khan's Deputy Mayor @justinesimons1. Paid £147,770 per year, taxpayers funded her £3,646.97 flight to Sao Paulo (Brazil) last year to attend a culture summit she founded (nice work if you can get it!).

Let's Do London, ey...

...or be the founder and Chair of the "World Cities Culture Forum – the principle leadership network on culture and the future of cities, now grown to over 40 global cities reaching across six continents."

She has to travel, you see! Image
Last year Justine Simons (OBE, darling) attended numerous dos:

Olivier Awards
V&A summer reception
Mercury Awards
Chanel diversity dinner at NPG

... and expensed her taxis.

Khan's office forces Londoners to pay ULEZ charges and walk/ cycle. But it's different for Simons!
