Susie Squire
Susie Squire is the former head of communication at the Stockholm Network and a campaign manager for the Taxpayers Alliance.[1] In 2010 she became a special advisor to Iain Duncan Smith at the Department for Work and Pensions.[2]
Taxpayers' Alliance
In December 2008 Susie Squire was asked by Nick Ferrari on his LBC Breakfast Radio Show if the Taxpayers Alliance was 'secretly Conservative?', she responded by saying:
- I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I can’t have that – that’s outrageous! That’s just absolutely outrageous!' adding 'we’re totally independent, we talk to everyone. I mean, God, I was in Wales at the end of last week, giving evidence on MPs’ expenses to a cross-party independent panel in the Welsh Assembly. We talk to everyone who wants to talk to us. We produce research that goes out to many MPs, cross-party, that goes out to journalists. We don’t have a party preference. Yes of course we have advisors and we have a board – any think tank worth its salt does. We’ll talk to anyone.'[3]
Squire left the Taxpayers Alliance in May 2010 to work as an advisor to the Conservative Party's Iain Duncan Smith.[4]
Hospitality
Since becoming a special advisor Squire has been given hospitality by the Daily Mail four times, three times by the Telegraph twice by the BBC, the Spectator and once by The Times and Press Gallery.[5]
