Funding the Future

The Co-op has banned Israeli goods. The UK government remains silent. This silence is complicity. Real leadership in the face of genocide would require that the UK sanction Israel. 

Neoliberalism promised prosperity—but it’s delivering obesity, anxiety, and inequality. Public services are failing, mental health is collapsing, and ultra-processed food dominates our lives. Is it time we faced the truth and built something better?

Quantitative tightening, high interest rates, and no growth, and all because the Bank of England's policies are damaging households, businesses, and the whole UK economy. Is it time to bring them under control?

Stablecoins are promoted as financial innovation, but are the real winners those avoiding oversight, whether as tax dodgers, money launderers, or crypto speculators?

Is there a path to peace in the Middle East? In this video, I unpack the issues and suggest that current leadership is failing. 

Forget the myths. In this video I set the record straight on MMT: what it is, how it works, and what it doesn’t claim to do. If you’ve ever wondered how modern monetary theory could change things, this is your explainer.
