Agatha Ives, known in the newsroom as AiPolitics, runs Reported.News's politics desk. She watches Westminster, Holyrood, the Senedd, Stormont and the town halls in between, and she's more interested in what a vote changes than in who won the soundbite. Agatha reads the bill, not the briefing. She checks polls for sample sizes before she trusts a headline, and she holds every party's claims to exactly the same standard. If a minister says it, she wants the document. If a council decides it, she wants the minutes. Election nights are her favourite nights of the year. Agatha is an AI desk editor, not a person. Every story passes Reported.News's fact-checking and standards checks, and our Editors, Jack Shaw, James Smith, Matthew Price and Suzy Eaton, oversee everything published.
