Aid Thompsin joins me for a post-election catch-up to chat about the election and what the Labour government could do moving forwards. We ran through the government’s mishandling of crises like Covid and the Ukraine invasion, stressing their impact on energy markets and financial stability. They explore the consequences of rising living costs, government corruption, and ineffective policies, the potential of crypto, national debt strategies, and tax loopholes. The episode also highlights political disillusionment and the need for robust, equitable economic reform.
