They discuss Rachel Reeves' £40 billion tax hike and explore the implications of a cashless society whilst Kwarteng also gives his thoughts and insight from his time at the Treasury. His candid analysis of socialism, entrepreneurship, and global economic trends makes this episode essential for anyone interested in understanding where Britain's economy is heading! Kwasi Kwarteng REVEALS: ·       Labour's recent budget represents the largest tax hike since 1993, with £25 billion coming from employers' national insurance contributions ·       Why the budget could stifle economic growth and job creation ·       Why China could potentially become the world's next reserve currency power ·       The UK and other European countries are caught in a "doom loop" where slow growth leads to higher taxes, which further reduces growth potential. ·       Modern socialism still operates on Marxist principles of class warfare, setting workers against employers, despite their shared interests in economic success ·       Why the shift toward a cashless society poses significant risks to personal freedom and financial privacy while making budgeting more difficult for individuals. ·       The housing crisis in Britain requires significant planning reform, but political resistance and short-term thinking have prevented meaningful progress ·       World Wars I and II fundamentally transformed the relationship between state and citizen, leading to permanently expanded government spending and taxation BEST MOMENTS "You're never going to get the growth in the next two or three years that they need. And the risk for them is that in two years time, they come up with more tax raises, which will damage the economy more." "If we all refuse to shop anywhere where they didn't take cash, they would all take cash." "The Chinese have got tons of gold, I mean metaphorically and really, and they could say, okay, now not saying they will do this, but there's a world in which they could say, right, we're gonna back the rebi with gold." "If we all didn't watch BBC or pay for the TV licence, all of us, mainstream media in the UK would change overnight.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

From shocking revelations about portraits in Number 11 to predictions about Trump's comeback, Farage doesn't hold back. Rob and Nigel talk economic policy, gold investments, the exodus of UK entrepreneurs, and the concerning direction of British politics. With personal thoughts from them both, including surviving near-death experiences and candid observations about Gen Z, this episode offers both critical analysis and hope for Britain's future! NIGEL FARAGE REVEALS: That the Labour's budget includes a 40 billion increase in taxes! Labour’s tax yield expectations are overly optimistic, as wealthy individuals increasingly relocate to places like Dubai and Monaco. The national debt has risen from 1 trillion to 2.7 trillion under Conservative rule, with annual interest payments exceeding 80 billion pounds. There's a significant surge in UK citizens buying gold, with firms reporting their busiest month in history even before the budget announcement. The civil service has expanded by 600,000 people since the Conservatives came to power, despite their supposed support for small government. Gen Z shows promising signs of ambition and energy, unlike millennials, and could be the generation to drive a political revolution. That Trump is likely to win the next election. Nigel spoke with Trump recently and witnessed his incredible work ethic and energy. The UK tax code is now 21,000 pages long, making it the most complex tax system in the world. BEST MOMENTS "I spoke in the debate and I said, politically clever, but economically illiterate and I did ask who was doing the sums? Was it Diane Abbott?" "We are getting poorer. The correlation is very interesting the faster the population rises through mass unskilled immigration, the poorer the whole community gets." "2.8 million people now on disability benefit. Many of them because on a Zoom call with a doctor, they've said they're feeling depressed." "I've not met anyone in sport, in politics, in business, in media, I've not met anybody in my life who's become a real success that hasn't worked incredibly hard and probably harder than everybody else in their field." "These essential things that are freedom of choice. They're all under attack. It's one of the reasons Bitcoin is doing as well as it is. And gold. Gold is wow. What a budget for gold." "Do we not understand that the world is changing, that there are incredible things happening in Dubai, other parts of the Middle East?"   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team Episode Sponsor - AG1 Claim your exclusive offer of AG1 at the link below drinkag1.com/disruptors ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

"I don't believe in solving for wealth, or I don't believe in going, you know, ‘wealthier is better’ and unfortunately, I think it's a trap which we can fall into."
