David Chorlton is the pen name of a senior civil servant in the UK government who was the lead author for the Rubicon Review, an independent piece of academic work considering the ‘impact of ignoring class-race intersectionality in the charity sector’. This report launched in August 2020, raising pointed questions about the UK third sector, receiving national press and has been cited in other academic publications. Since then, with identity politics and politics becoming increasingly intertwined in the UK, he has been keen to publish something much more accessible and mainstream.
