Verdant, a new thinktank aligned with Green policy circles, released a report claiming reforms could save UK taxpayers up to £30bn. The paper says rooting out waste, fraud and tax avoidance would free funds to improve public services. Verdant was founded by James Meadway and Deborah Doane and launches with Green-adjacent backing. Critics have questioned its branding and political links, but its headline number shifts the debate over public spending and tax enforcement priorities.
