Funding the Future

This video is the fourth in our series on wealth — and the second asking a crucial question: Why are the wealthy wealthy? In this episode, I expose the uncomfortable truth: extreme wealth in Britain has not been built on innovation or hard work, but on exploitation. Of land. Of people. Of law. Of monopolies. Of resources. It’s time we faced how the 1% really got rich — and what we need to do about it.

The UK’s CBI claims the London Stock Exchange is in crisis because of tax and regulation. But that’s nonsense. The real issue? London’s stock market has stopped funding business growth. It’s now a playground for speculators, failing our economy, our pensions, and our future. In this video I explain why tax cuts won’t save it — and what real reform would look like.

In this third video in our series on the wealthy, I explore why the comfortably wealthy in the UK — those with £3 million or more — stay so rich. The short answer? The UK tax system is stacked in their favour. From low capital gains rates to massive ISA and pension subsidies, we’re handing the wealthy thousands each year while working people shoulder the load. I break down the  numbers, show how tax reliefs pour money into the pockets of the top 20%, and reveal why your taxes are effectively funding luxury lifestyles.

We’re told the UK is living beyond its means. But who exactly is living beyond them? It’s not schools, libraries, or the NHS. It’s not people in poverty. It’s the private monopolies and unchecked corporate profits. In this video, I explain why this narrative is not just wrong—it’s dangerous.

Just how rich are the wealthy? In this video, I break down official data to show who truly owns Britain’s wealth. From the bottom 10% with virtually nothing, to the top 1% averaging £5.3 million each, we’ll see how unequal our country has become — and why we urgently need the wealthy to pay more tax.

In this video, I explain why Rachel Reeves’ beloved fiscal rules are nothing but political theatre. They’re arbitrary, endlessly changeable, and stop us investing in what matters. It’s time we governed for people, not ratios.

Why do I write five blogs before breakfast? Because injustice doesn’t sleep. I’ve spent my life exposing how power and money rig the system. And I won’t stop — because we need a fairer world. Subscribe, comment, and share. Campaigning isn’t a spectator sport.

Many people dream of changing the world, but very few do. In this video, I explain what you really need to do to stand a chance. And a word of warning: patience, skills, and conviction matter more than quick fixes.

Will you still get a UK state pension when you retire? With means testing, cuts and even abolition on the table, many are worried — and rightly so. In this video, I break down the risks, what recent surveys show, and how it could damage the whole economy if the pension system collapses.

This is the start of my new wealth series. We’re going back to basics — and that means asking what wealth even is. I explain how stocks and flows of wealth shape power, politics, and our future, and expose some of the secrets that the wealthy would rather we do not know as a result.
