Show Notes
Former Conservative MP Guy Opperman joins me to discuss rebuilding Britain from the ground up. We explore local banking, Bitcoin's potential role in pensions, infrastructure challenges, and how community action can revitalise struggling towns. Drawing on his 14 years in Parliament and time as Pensions Minister, Guy explains why grassroots civic leadership and decentralisation are key to fixing Britain's broken economy. We also discuss the failures of centralised politics, the importance of community banks, and how financial innovation – including Bitcoin – could help restore savings, trust, and economic resilience.
