    PMQs #002 - Labour's Budget: Another Tax Raid on Working People

    Labour's second budget is here and it's another full-blown tax raid. They've hit workers again, squeezed savers again, blown up the welfare bill again and still delivered nothing for business, growth or the people who actually drive the economy.  If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.

    PMQs #001 - Inflation Is A Crime

    In this solo episode, Peter breaks from the usual interview format to deliver an honest take on the state-of-the-nation.  From the collapse of political discourse to the rise of Reform and the Greens, from inflation's hidden wealth transfer to why young people are turning to socialism, Peter lays out the British Doom Loop - how taxes, stagnation and inflation keep feeding each other while the political class pretends everything's fine.
