In this special episode, we sit down with former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at one of the most volatile periods in recent UK economic history,  the 2022 mini-budget crisis.

From an unexpected call while on holiday to becoming Chancellor within hours, Jeremy shares what it was really like taking over during a market crisis, why governments don’t control the economy as much as we think, and the uncomfortable truth about why Brits are falling behind when it comes to investing.

Jeremy also gives a clear and timely view on Capital Gains Tax, arguing that higher CGT risks discouraging investment and ultimately holding back long-term growth, particularly at a time when the UK needs to be attracting capital, not pushing it away.

In this conversation, we discuss with Jeremy:

Why “markets always win” and what happens when governments lose credibilityThe moment he was called to become Chancellor and what markets were really reacting toWhy the UK doesn’t have a savings problem, but an investing problemHow complexity in ISAs and pensions is holding people backWhy Australia’s pension system is miles ahead of the UKHow tax, incentives and policy shape investor behaviourWhy British capital isn’t backing British companiesThe role of inflation and why getting it wrong breaks everythingThe real risks facing global markets todayWhy long-term thinking is the only real investing edgeWant more like this?
