Funding the Future

Those with power rarely give it up willingly. That’s why protest matters. It’s how we won workers’ rights, women’s rights, gay rights, and have fought inequality in so many forms. But today, new laws are making protest harder in the UK. It’s time to be louder.

Every time stock markets drop, headlines say that billions have been lost. But where does that money actually go? If you want to understand crashes, confidence, and the baked bean market (trust me), this one’s for you.

Wes Streeting says cutting 50 calories a day will solve obesity and save the NHS. That’s bad politics, bad science and classic neoliberal blame-shifting. In this video, I take apart his arguments and ask whether he’s naive or deliberately complicit in weakening our NHS.

Labour is cutting disability benefits to balance Rachel Reeves’ budget, while handing billions in tax breaks to the rich. I explain why this is morally bankrupt, and why Labour’s 70 MPs who backed down have failed the poorest.

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?

The Resolution Foundation says UK incomes will flatline until 2030. This isn’t an accident—it’s by design. High interest rates, unfair taxes, and Labour's inaction are all crushing incomes and deepening inequality. We need change.

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

Keir Starmer is facing rebellion from more than 120 Labour MPs over benefit cuts that target the UK’s most vulnerable. Could this be the beginning of the end for his leadership?
