Funding the Future

Nigel Farage says he wants to replace the UK Human Rights Act with a so-called “British Bill of Rights.” But let’s be clear: this is not about protecting freedoms. It’s about removing them. The Human Rights Act brings into UK law the European Convention on Human Rights, a treaty drafted after the Second World War with strong UK backing, led by Winston Churchill, and based on the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It exists to stop governments abusing their citizens. Farage’s plan would: Cut the link to international oversight in Strasbourg Narrow rights, especially for migrants and asylum seekers, but also for anyone who might have the right to live in another country, however long they have lived here Give Parliament, not independent courts, control over rights Undermine the UK's peace agreements, the government of Northern Ireland, and international treaties This is not about rights. It’s about power — the power to control, divide, and expel. It risks taking Britain down a path towards authoritarianism.

The media claims UK government borrowing costs have soared to 5.6%, spelling financial crisis for Rachel Reeves. But that’s nonsense. Bond yields are being distorted by a stock market bubble, not by government risk. Reeves shouldn’t issue bonds at these rates — she should wait for the crash that’s coming. In this video, I explain how bond yields really work, why the markets have it wrong, and what a wise chancellor should do now.

Nigel Farage says he wants to abolish the Human Rights Act — the law that guarantees 16 fundamental protections in the UK. From the right to life to freedom of speech, from fair trials to free elections, he wants them gone. This isn’t just about deportations. It’s about stripping away the freedoms that protect us all from the potential tyrannies of government - including one that he might lead.

Capital might be a hopeful human achievement, but capitalism has captured democracy for the few: a conversation with John Christensen

The story goes: if Britain used modern monetary theory, the bond market would revolt. The truth is the opposite. In this video, I explain why the UK government’s ability to create money, to invest in real assets, and to build a stronger economy, all of which would be enabled by modern monetary theory thinking, would make British investors in the UK more secure, not less.

Is Labour trying to lose the 2029 election? That’s what it looks like. Growth has stalled, the NHS is failing, housing promises are broken, and the public feels ignored. In this video, I explain how Rachel Reeves, Morgan McSweeney, and Keir Starmer’s Labour are pursuing a strategy that could end in political disaster.  

Sociocide and pleonexia are not just words. They describe what’s happening in plain sight: the destruction of society by those who refuse responsibility for the common good. This video asks whether tax avoidance is sociocidal — and what we should do about it.  

Fascists and far-right politicians define an 'other' group in society and then blame them for all its problems. I explain why this tactic is so effective – and so dangerous.

Labour members want progressive change – from scrapping the two-child cap to stopping arms sales to Israel. The leadership is ignoring them. This video asks: what is Labour afraid of, and what must change?

The discussion dives deep into the parallels between the current AI-driven stock frenzy and the dot-com bubble of 2000. It highlights alarming price-to-book ratios and the overwhelming dominance of mega-cap tech stocks in market indices. The potential economic fallout is addressed, exploring whether government intervention could prevent a similar catastrophe. Urgency is stressed for those concerned with economic justice and public accountability as the risk of a crisis looms large.
