328) Andrew Craig - Why The UK is Falling Behind: Wealth, Tax & Missed Opportunities
Manage episode 507593741 series 2646356
Today’s conversation is the return of Andrew Craig to CamBro Conversations for his 4th appearance on the podcast.
Andrew is an investor, author, and commentator who has spent years helping people better understand finance, economics, and wealth creation. In this episode, we unpack the state of the UK economy, the policy failures of recent governments, and the choices that will determine our financial future.
Expect to learn:
- Why UK citizens are no wealthier than they were 30 years ago while countries like Ireland, Australia, and Singapore have surged ahead
- Whether Brexit was a missed opportunity to become the “European Singapore”
- The impact of legal mass migration, with 4.5 million arrivals between 2021–24
- Why the UK’s obsession with Net Zero is economically damaging
- Why Starmer’s choice of advisors is so worrying for aspirational UK citizens
- Why Gary Stevenson is so wrong about the UK and policy
- Whether Liz Truss’s economic plan was a feasible path out of the mess
- Why Andrew believes we urgently need a small, economically literate, fiscally responsible government option at the ballot box
