Jasmine Birtles is a financial expert, author, and founder of Money Magpie. In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, she explains why Britain's economy is teetering on the edge—from a broken tax system and bloated welfare state to personal finance illiteracy and out-of-control government spending.

We cover the exodus of wealth creators, the reality of Universal Credit traps, how schools fail to teach money skills, and why Jasmine believes a major crash might be the only path to reform. We also dive into Bitcoin, gold, and the cultural stigma around financial success in the UK.

Historian and broadcaster David Starkey delivers an honest critique of modern Britain's decline—from constitutional vandalism to the death of democratic accountability. Starkey traces the unraveling of centuries-old English liberties, exposing how Tony Blair's government dismantled parliamentary sovereignty, politicised the judiciary, and empowered unelected quangos to rule by decree.

In this interview, Starkey explains why Britain is no longer a true democracy, how legal and cultural revolutions hollowed out national identity, and why the country stands at a historic crossroads. Starkey makes the case for restoring tradition, courage, and a politics rooted in freedom.

In this interview, Rupert challenges mainstream narratives, question the failures of Net Zero messaging, and explore why conservatives should take the lead on climate preparedness. From threats to national security and food supply to the economic costs of inaction, Rupert lays out a case for tackling climate change that doesn't rely on ideology—but on common sense.

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.

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.

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.

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.
