Tom returns for Episode 18! We're recording on the day that Rishi Sunak becomes the UK's latest Prime Minister. We look back at how we got here and what the options for the new PM are when balancing growth, inflation and economic stability.

Rishi Sunak comes to power with the same (if not more) problems that the previous two Prime Ministers but with some lasting damage from the failed 'mini-budget'.

We look at the problems facing the UK in a global context and how the UK is specifically affected in some key areas. We also ask is now the time for the UK to start Impact Investing in its own economy and what this all means for you as a long term impact investor.
