Background
Transparency is essential to understand issues. Core metrics—e.g., tax spend by sector and sectoral growth—should be shown with long-run context, per-capita/real-terms normalisation, and clear uncertainty. Sources must be cited (ONS/UKSA/peer-reviewed), data and code open, and visuals accessible (plain language, colour-safe). Every debate topic should be backed by fairly presented, peer-reviewed evidence with definitions and methods disclosed.
