About this episode

Jamie Jenkins, former statistician at the ONS and BBC, is now known for cutting through government spin with hard data. In this episode we dig into why CPI hides the real cost of living, what’s broken in the NHS, the truth behind energy prices and Net Zero, migration myths, public sector bloat, crime statistics that don’t reflect reality, and how politicians use numbers to mislead — and how the data reveals the truth.
