#070 - Nick Timothy - Why Labour’s Economic Plan Will Break Britain
Nick Timothy is the Conservative Member of Parliament for West Suffolk, a political strategist, writer, and former chief adviser to Prime Minister Theresa May. With deep experience inside Westminster and a sharp critique of Britain’s political class, Nick has become one of the country’s most compelling voices for conservative reform. In this interview, Nick explains why Britain's political and economic systems are no longer fit for purpose—and why both Labour is failing the nation. We explore the root causes of Britain’s decline: broken economic thinking, a bloated and overreaching state, uncontrolled immigration, and the collapse of cultural confidence. Nick breaks down the dangers of Labour’s tax-and-spend agenda, the betrayal of conservative values, and the urgent need for radical change. He argues that only by restoring true conservative principles, economic resilience, and national self-belief can Britain avoid irreversible decline and rebuild a freer, stronger society.

#069 - Joe Bryan - How the Government Bankrupted Society
Joe Bryan is a writer and thinker focused on the intersection of money, society, and freedom. With a background in finance and a deep understanding of Bitcoin, Joe is one of the most articulate critics of fiat money and the systemic damage caused by government control over currency. In this interview, Joe explains why inflation is not just an economic phenomenon but one of the greatest crimes against society. We explore how money printing distorts markets, fuels inequality, and erodes personal freedom. Joe breaks down the hidden consequences of fiat currency—rising housing costs, corporate capture of vital industries, and the silent theft of wealth through inflation. He argues that only by separating money from state control—and embracing a decentralised alternative—can we restore economic sanity and create a freer, fairer world.

#068 - Catherine McBride - Is Labour Wrecking the Economy?
Catherine McBride is an economist, trade expert, and former member of the UK’s Trade and Agriculture Commission. With a background in finance and deep knowledge of international markets, she is one of the most vocal critics of Britain’s overregulated economy, misguided energy policies, and counterproductive approach to growth and trade. In this interview, Catherine explains why Britain is stuck in economic decline, how Net Zero is strangling industry, and why Labour’s growth promises are disconnected from reality. We discuss the damage caused by stamp duty, VAT, and employment law, the failure of political leadership across parties, and why the UK is driving away the very businesses it needs to survive. Catherine argues that only radical reform—cutting bad regulation, slashing energy costs, and restoring economic sanity—can save Britain from permanent decline.

#067 - John O'Connell - We're £12 Trillion in Debt
John O’Connell is the chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, a UK-based campaign group advocating for lower taxes, efficient government, and greater transparency in public spending. With years of experience analysing government budgets and economic policy, he has become one of the most vocal critics of Britain’s bloated bureaucracy, broken tax code, and failing public services. In this interview, John lays out why Britain has stopped growing, how the tax burden has hit a post-war high, and why throwing more money at failing systems is making things worse. We explore the rising cost of living, the impact of over-regulation on small businesses, and how poorly designed taxes like inheritance tax and stamp duty are crippling opportunity and ambition. John argues that political reform, economic discipline, and a simpler tax code are the only way to reverse the UK’s stagnation and unlock real growth for working people.

Matthew Mežinskis is a macroeconomic researcher, Bitcoin educator, and host of the podcast Crypto Voices, known for his deep analysis of global monetary policy, central banking, and the intersection of money and geopolitics. Based in Eastern Europe with a background in both American and Latvian perspectives, Matthew brings a rare clarity to complex economic systems and the forces shaping global power. In this interview, Matthew breaks down why Europe can no longer rely on the United States, the dangers of monetary expansion, and how authoritarianism is rising across the West. We discuss the Ukraine war, the myth of neutrality in global politics, and how inflation and asset bubbles have quietly hollowed out the middle class. Matthew explains why Bitcoin may be the only true escape hatch, how power is shifting from West to East, and what history teaches us about debt, sovereignty, and economic collapse.
