PREVIEW: John O’Connell: Tax Insights and Fiscal Icebergs

Benefits, budgets, deficits and overspending

Coming soon!

John O’Connell, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance since 2016, joins David CM Carter to discuss the UK’s broken tax system, runaway public spending, and the urgent need for fiscal reform. Rising from intern to leader, O’Connell has authored influential reports, including the award-winning The Single Income Tax, and led campaigns exposing wasteful spending.

How do we create a new system of tax that’s fit for purpose?

O’Connell unpacks the TaxPayers’ Alliance’s fight for lower taxes and smarter spending, proposing a radical 30% single income tax, critiquing political overspending, and advocating a legally binding spending cap to avert a fiscal crisis – all while addressing challenges like AI, declining birth rates, and crumbling community hubs such as rural pubs.

Beyond the mainstream, we question competing truths. A conversation worth joining.
