Politicians keep telling us the government must “live within its means” like a household. That idea is wrong. It is also dangerous.

In this video, I explain why a currency-issuing government is fundamentally different from a household, how money is actually created, why deficits create private surpluses, and how the household budget myth has justified austerity, weakened public services, and cut social security in the UK since 2010.

We need honest economics, not myths that limit democratic ambition. Real limits are resources, skills, energy, and environmental capacity, not money.

Understanding this is essential if we want an economy based on care, not the politics of destruction.

Medicine sits where fear meets trust, and Big Pharma - the companies that make up the Medical Industrial Complex - know that.

In this video, I explain how the 1910 Flexner Report, written in the USA at the peak of an era of toxic capitalism, reshaped medicine, why big pharmaceutical companies gained power as a result, and how the NHS is now at risk of becoming a profit gernation machine rather than a care system.

This is not about denying science. It is about asking who benefits from today’s model of healthcare and why prevention, public health and social care are being sidelined.

We need a politics of care, not a politics of profit.

What would actually happen if the UK deported two million people in three years, as Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain political party proposes?

In this video, I look at the real economics and not the slogans.

- NHS staffing and social care would collapse

- Construction and food supply would face massive disruption

- We'd have falling GDP and tax revenues

- And there would be rising inflation, and austerity

This is not immigration policy. It is economic self-harm driven by a politics of hate.

A politics of care offers a real alternative: investment in social care, strengthening social security, training workers, taxing wealth fairly, and rebuilding the capacity Britain actually needs.

Limited liability is treated as harmless legal plumbing, but it is one of the most powerful privileges granted to wealth in the UK and around the world. In this Funding the Future conversation with Professor Dan Plesch, we explore how corporate law shields shareholders from responsibility, fuels secrecy and tax abuse, and distorts democracy.

We explain where limited liability came from, why it now protects inequality, and what reforms could restore balance between corporations and society.

This matters for tax justice, corporate accountability and the politics of care.

Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain paper on mass deportations is not just about migration, although that is its toxic superficial focus. It is also about power, law, and the kind of state we want to live in.

In this video, I explain why his proposals would require dismantling human rights law, rewriting the UK constitution, and creating a politics of hate that harms everyone and not just the millions of migrants he wants to expel from this country.

My suggestion is that we choose something else: a politics of care, investment, and social security that protects everyone's well-being.

This is about the UK’s future. What state do we want? Lowe's dystopian state of hate, or one where everyone can flourish?

“Woke” once meant awareness of injustice. Now it is used to mock compassion. This video explains how culture-war language protects wealth and power, and why reclaiming the language of care matters for democracy and economic justice.

In this video, I explain why neoliberalism is not a mistake but a system built to shift power from people to corporations. This politics of destruction delivers an economics of failure with underfunded public services, rising inequality and shrinking democracy. I also explain why fiscal rules like those promoted by Rachel Reeves reinforce this failure, and why a politics of care offers the best real alternative.
