#228 - Rupert Lowe - Is Britain Going Bankrupt?
Show notes
Rupert Lowe is the MP for Great Yarmouth and the leader of Restore Britain, the party he launched after leaving Reform UK. He returns with a blunt diagnosis: Britain is bankrupt, the state is no longer serving the people who pay for it and none of the main parties will admit how bad the numbers have become.
Rupert and I discuss whether the state has become a force bigger than any elected government, why he believes the electorate still does not understand the scale of the debt, the £100,000 of legacy borrowing per household being handed to the next generation and what Restore would actually do - on tax, energy, the triple lock and welfare.
They also get into the media's treatment of Restore, accusations of a secret deal, his fallout with Reform and the olive branch that went nowhere, whether Andy Burnham will make rejoining the EU his last throw of the dice and why Rupert thinks the euro cannot survive.
