Reform UK took control of Kent County Council and sent in a unit to find the waste. Nine months later, one of their own councillors said it was not there. He said he wished they had found it — it would have been a better story.

This episode follows the documents. What Reform's national DOGE unit actually did at the eleven councils it runs, what Kent's own DOLGE did, what the money was really spent on, and what happened to the people who asked questions about it.

Every figure in this episode comes from a primary source: council papers, committee minutes, a Freedom of Information response, and the words of the people involved, quoted in full rather than trimmed to fit.
