RSA Thursday

Heather Brooke is the award-winning campaigner who revealed the scandal of MP’s expenses after campaigning for five years for the information to become public.

She argues that we cannot call ourselves an informed electorate without information.

We need information to understand decisions, to participate in policy-making, to be true citizens in a democracy.

Join Heather Brooke at the RSA to discuss secrecy, surveillance, propaganda and the expenses affair that fatally undermined our political system.

Chair: Matthew Taylor, chief executive, RSA
