Justin Moore

Global Economic Justice Researcher

I’m passionate about researching and communicating how better UK policies and enforcement can benefit the poorest people in the world as well as the UK.

I am currently working with Spotlight on Corruption on international corruption issues, and developing a proposal for a book on the UK’s conflicted relationship with low-income countries. In collaboration with Bond and the Tax Justice Network, I helped develop and co-organise the February 2026 ‘Do No Harm‘ workshop, which focused on more coherent UK policies for the Majority World.
