Funding the Future

London’s stock market is broken

The UK’s CBI claims the London Stock Exchange is in crisis because of tax and regulation. But that’s nonsense. The real issue? London’s stock market has stopped funding business growth. It’s now a playground for speculators, failing our economy, our pensions, and our future. In this video I explain why tax cuts won’t save it — and what real reform would look like.

Why are the wealthy so wealthy?

In this third video in our series on the wealthy, I explore why the comfortably wealthy in the UK — those with £3 million or more — stay so rich. The short answer? The UK tax system is stacked in their favour. From low capital gains rates to massive ISA and pension subsidies, we’re handing the wealthy thousands each year while working people shoulder the load. I break down the  numbers, show how tax reliefs pour money into the pockets of the top 20%, and reveal why your taxes are effectively funding luxury lifestyles.

Is the UK really living beyond its means?

We’re told the UK is living beyond its means. But who exactly is living beyond them? It’s not schools, libraries, or the NHS. It’s not people in poverty. It’s the private monopolies and unchecked corporate profits. In this video, I explain why this narrative is not just wrong—it’s dangerous.
 

Who are the wealthy?

Just how rich are the wealthy? In this video, I break down official data to show who truly owns Britain’s wealth. From the bottom 10% with virtually nothing, to the top 1% averaging £5.3 million each, we’ll see how unequal our country has become — and why we urgently need the wealthy to pay more tax.
 

Fiscal rules are total nonsense

In this video, I explain why Rachel Reeves’ beloved fiscal rules are nothing but political theatre. They’re arbitrary, endlessly changeable, and stop us investing in what matters. It’s time we governed for people, not ratios.

Why I won’t be silent

Why do I write five blogs before breakfast? Because injustice doesn’t sleep. I’ve spent my life exposing how power and money rig the system. And I won’t stop — because we need a fairer world. Subscribe, comment, and share. Campaigning isn’t a spectator sport.

Want to be a campaigner? Do this

Many people dream of changing the world, but very few do. In this video, I explain what you really need to do to stand a chance. And a word of warning: patience, skills, and conviction matter more than quick fixes.

Will your state pension vanish?

Will you still get a UK state pension when you retire? With means testing, cuts and even abolition on the table, many are worried — and rightly so. In this video, I break down the risks, what recent surveys show, and how it could damage the whole economy if the pension system collapses.

What is wealth?

This is the start of my new wealth series. We’re going back to basics — and that means asking what wealth even is. I explain how stocks and flows of wealth shape power, politics, and our future, and expose some of the secrets that the wealthy would rather we do not know as a result.
 

The pension myth exposed

Most people don’t understand how pensions really work. Not politicians, not City insiders, and probably not you. In this video, I explain why pensions aren’t really about savings at all, but about a fundamental contract between generations, and why private pension systems fail to deliver. And this one is really best watched.
