The Human Cost of Britain’s Dark Money Industry w/ Peter Geoghegan & Stephanie Brobbey

The Human Cost of Britain’s Dark Money Industry w/ Peter Geoghegan & Stephanie Brobbey

Author: Novara Media April 14, 2026 Duration: 1:17:34

To accompany our podcast series, Death in Westminster, hosts Kojo Koram and Dalia Gebrial met with investigative journalist Peter Geoghegan and former private wealth lawyer Stephanie Brobbey at EartH in Hackney last month.

Digging into the dark money that flows through Westminster, Kojo and Dalia find out what made Stephanie quit her job hiding rich people’s assets, why Peter couldn’t find anyone to publish his story about Labour corruption, and what normal people can do to challenge the global system of wealth extraction.

Listen to Death in Westminster, hosted by Dalia and Kojo Koram, in the Novara Media podcast feed. Follow Peter’s work through the Democracy For Sale newsletter.
