About

The Populist Decoder lands in your inbox every weekday morning with a rapid briefing on what Reform are up to and how to respond.

Most people don't have time to track Reform's messaging and build counter-arguments alongside their day job. The Decoder does that work for you reading hundreds of articles and social posts each day to deliver punchy and practical content.

It's not designed to change your mind about Reform. It's designed to help you change other people's minds - without having to do too much doomscrolling.

Sometimes the smartest move isn't attacking Reform — it's connecting with people over the real frustrations Reform are exploiting. But sometimes you need to cut through the smoke and mirrors to lay bare the inconsistency, hypocrisy and false hope on offer.

Each briefing breaks down the spin, acknowledges the real grievance, and gives you ready-to-use lines for when the conversation turns.

How it works

The Decoder is produced by Rootcause and powered by our Drumbeat Machine — an AI platform that filters hundreds of UK news and social media sources to give you a useful starting point for the day's conversation.

Think of it as a first draft you can adapt to your own context. Because it's drafted by AI, the odd error might slip through — so double-check sources before using them in your own communications.
