The news is lying to you — and Britain is falling apart behind the scenes

Every night, the lights are bright, the headlines loud — but the real news is missing.

While the media fixates on Trump, Farage and the Royals, Britain’s children go hungry, families can’t afford homes, and carers are exhausted.

In this video, I explain how the theatre of distraction keeps us angry but uninformed — and why we must reclaim the news for the Politics of Care: food, housing, health, and climate.

Watch, share, and join the conversation: it’s time to stop funding the circus.

Arthur Laffer’s “curve” is one of the most destructive ideas in modern economics.

Sketched on a napkin in the 1970s, it claimed that cutting tax rates could increase government revenue.

It became gospel for Reagan, Thatcher and every neoliberal government since.

But it was wrong.

In this video, I explain why Laffer misunderstood tax, ignored inequality, and helped unleash tax competition that undermined democracy.

I debated Laffer in person — and I’ll show you why his logic collapses when tested against modern money and real economies and the idea that fair taxation builds strong societies, whilst low taxation builds fragile ones.

Donald Trump’s Great Gatsby–style party at Mar-a-Lago reveals everything about modern America — excess at the top, hunger at the bottom, and the deliberate cruelty of power without care. As millions faced cuts to essential payments, Trump partied. This is what happens when power forgets compassion.
