London, United Kingdom, 15th January 2024 – Dods Political Intelligence is delighted to announce the launch of an ongoing collaboration with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to provide public affairs professionals with cutting-edge insights into UK politics and policy. This collaboration combines Dods Political Intelligence’s nearly 200 years of experience in covering Westminster and Whitehall with QMUL’s exceptional line-up of researchers, including ex-Government ministers and some of the UK’s leading political scientists.

As a result, Dods Political Intelligence’s customers will now have access to this unique pool of talent and expertise in order to deliver impartial and actionable policy insights. The new offering includes bespoke policy white papers, political intelligence reports, as well as analysis that can inform political decision making (for example campaigning).
