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.
