The Team
Tatton Spiller
FOUNDER
Tatton has been simplifying politics all his adult life. Much of that was during ten years of teaching English, Politics and Citizenship .
He had a brief step away from teaching from 2008 until 2011. In this time he worked briefly as a journalist and delivering educational workshops for KS2-5 at the Houses of Parliament.
He grew increasingly frustrated that nothing like SP existed. So he created it. Simple Politics was launched in 2015.
Diane Daniels
ALL THE SOCIALS
Diane joined Simple Politics to work on the 2019 General Election. She loved it and stayed.
She worked for many years in financial communications, which gives her lots of experience in making complex things much easier to understand.
A restless soul, she’s originally from Northern Ireland, by way of Leeds University and some time in Nottingham. She now lives in beautiful Devon.
Lottie Smith
ALL THE VIDEO
Lottie joined SP in 2024 to kick start our adventures on film.
She's worked for BAFTA. Imagine how good at film you have to be to have worked on filming stuff BAFTA. Impressive.
Now it's working, mostly with Tatton, on video output on our YouTube Channel, our TikTok channel and the occasional reel.
Like all the best people, she lives in Whitstable.
Emma Thorne
ALL THE CHAT
The newest member of Team SP, Emma is the one you've probably chatted to.
She's out there on the front line, in your DMs, in the comments, on the stories.
When she's not brightening up your day with her chat, she's backstage taking control of all the admin and firing up thoughts, ideas and notes on our output of pretty much everything.
