A grim future, Farage and Man United - with Sir Jim Ratcliffe


Listen Later

He's one of Britain's most successful industrialists and part-owner of Manchester United. Sir Jim Ratcliffe - regularly found near the top of the Sunday Times rich list with an estimated wealth of over £17bn - is the founder and CEO of the chemicals giant INEOS. So what's the future for his business? Why does he think Net Zero is a disaster? And how will he make Man United 'the most profitable club in the world'?


In the first episode of The Business, Associate Business Editor of The Sunday Times Hannah Prevett and Times columnist and Times Radio business presenter, Dominic O'Connell chew over it all.
