Are Britain’s doctors striking based on a broken metric? Economist Andrew Lilico says RPI—the measure unions love—is complete NONSENSE compared to CPI. Policy analyst Francois Valentin agrees, claiming you’d be hard-pressed to find ANY profession with real wage growth since 2008 using that number. Then we turn to the EU’s silent acceptance of Trump’s tariffs. Lilico calls it a political HUMILIATION. Valentin says it shatters the Brexit-era myth that being part of a big bloc makes you stronger. Finally, we dive into a bold new idea: could Britain bring back global wealth with laser-focused tax breaks? It’s controversial, it’s strategic — and it might just work.
