Author: Philip Marchetti

Philip Marchetti spent a decade in broadcast journalism before moving to print and digital. He started as a researcher at a regional TV newsroom, worked his way onto the news desk, and spent five years producing packages on everything from council corruption to factory closures across the Midlands. He went freelance in 2019 and started writing because he missed the reporting and did not miss the rota. He covers UK politics, public services, and the slow-moving institutional stories that only make the front page when something breaks. Philip lives in Nottingham. He reads select committee transcripts the way other people read thrillers, and finds them roughly as plausible.
