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.
