John Penrose interview - Rebooting Capitalism

Published: Jan. 23, 2020, 8:02 p.m.

In a lengthy interview we chatted with Weston-super-Mare MP John Penrose.

John has recently published some policy proposals which we took a look at in more detail.

These included offering the British Overseas Territories the opportunity to be a full part of the UK, with their own representation in parliament should they wish.

We then turned to his recent publication "A Shining City Upon A Hill - Rebooting Capitalism for the Many, Not the Few" in which he describes several issues which the country is now facing and offers his own prescription as to how to solve these problems.

We look at everything from why the economy as its currently structured doesn't seem to be working for those under 45, to how you could introduce competition into the rail system.

We talk about how building upwards not outwards could be one way of solving the UK's housing crisis, and then look at how its possible to stop fake news, and how being exposed to one sides news online might not be such a good thing and what if anything can be done about it.
