Reality Check

<p>Arthur Laffer, the economist, former adviser to Ronald Reagan and architect of the Laffer Curve, goes head-to-head with journalist and left-wing author Aaron Bastani over one question: should Britain introduce a wealth tax? </p><br><p>Chaired by The Spectator’s economics editor and host of the Reality Check podcast, Michael Simmons, they debate whether a wealth tax could raise significant revenue, or simply drive wealth and investment out of the UK.</p><br><p>Spectator subscribers can watch the full debate at spectator.com/wealthtax.</p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

<p>With two months to go until Andy Burnham and John Healey’s first Budget, speculation about tax rises is already beginning. But how much should we believe?</p><p>Michael Simmons looks at five facts about Britain’s tax system that should shape the debate – from a tax burden heading towards post-war highs to the surprising reality that taxes on the average worker remain relatively low. And with the wealthy already heavily squeezed, is there really anyone left to tax?</p><p><em>This episode is brought to you by Artemis Fund Managers, for more information on our fund range please click here https://www.artemisfunds.com/</em></p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

<p>The backlash to Channel 4’s <em>The Great ADHD Myth</em> has reignited a fierce debate over how we diagnose ADHD – and whether that debate itself is becoming impossible to have.</p><p>Michael Simmons looks at the extraordinary rise in diagnoses, the gap between recorded cases and underlying prevalence, and asks whether we are increasingly medicalising normal variations in behaviour.</p><p>Is Britain finally recognising a vast amount of unmet need – or has diagnosis begun to serve a social as well as a medical function?</p><p><em>This episode is brought to you by Artemis Fund Managers, for more information on our fund range please click here https://www.artemisfunds.com/</em></p><br><p><br></p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

<p>Britain is in the grip of another hot, dry summer, with hosepipe bans in force and fears growing about the country’s water supply. But are we really running out of water?</p><p>Michael Simmons is joined by Reality Check reporter John Power to explain what is actually behind the shortages, whether Britain needs more reservoirs and why nationalising the water companies may not be the answer. They also ask what the drought tells us about the future of net zero – and how Britain should adapt to a changing climate.</p><p><em>This episode is brought to you by Artemis Fund Managers, for more information on our fund range please click here https://www.artemisfunds.com</em></p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

<p>Britain wants to become an AI superpower – but does it have the electricity to power one? Data centres underpin everything from online banking and streaming to artificial intelligence, and demand for them is exploding. The government has designated them as critical national infrastructure and is promising billions of pounds of investment, but Britain’s ageing grid is already struggling to keep up.</p><p>Michael Simmons asks whether the UK can build enough power stations, transmission lines and substations to support the AI revolution – and what the consequences could be for electricity bills, water supplies and local communities. He is joined by entrepreneur Michael Tobin and American energy journalist Robert Bryce to discuss why Britain needs data centres, the growing backlash against them and whether the country risks being left behind in the global AI race.</p><p><em>This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

<p>Andy Burnham has launched a major push to overhaul adult social care in England, seeking cross-party consensus for a new National Care Service. He has refused to rule out tax rises to fund the reforms. Michael Simmons speaks to the author and journalist David Goodhart about why social care should be reframed as prevention, whether salaries should be increased in social care and why the public isn't as worried as politicians tend to panic about. </p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

<p>Amid rising backlash over the early prisoner release scheme, Kemi Badenoch has called for emergency legislation to stop the plans going ahead. The new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has already halted the plans until a review has been conducted. The situation with prison overcrowding is a ticking timebomb – what options are available? To alleviate the risk, some suggest women should be prioritised as candidates for early release, and women's prisons repurposed. To discuss, Michael Simmons is joined by the CEO of the Prison Reform Trust Pia Sinha. </p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

<p>Andy Burnham has laid out some of his top policy agendas for his premiership. Top of the list is to tackle homelessness – something the former Manchester mayor pledged to solve in Greater Manchester too, but the numbers have suggested the outcome was otherwise. What really needs to be done to fix homelessness in Britain? And how does his other policy of rent controls work against ending rough sleeping? Michael Simmons takes a look at the data.</p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

<p>Last week, the <em>Joe Rogan Experience</em> podcast released a two-hour interview with Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore party. Was Lowe there merely to create content –&nbsp;or is Restore a serious political party? Some of his statements suggest it’s the former rather than the latter. The Spectator's John O'Neil wrote a piece for the website correcting some of Lowe's claims.

<p>A report has suggested that white working class children are being failed by the education system that is 'not serving in [their] interests'. Burnham blames a lack of aspiration – but does this issue, like many others in Britain really stem from an overbearing state? Michael Simmons is joined by the Head of Communications and External Affairs at Onward, Joanna Marchong to discuss educational outcomes between ethnicities and the private school VAT charge.</p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

<p>Andy Burnham has laid out his plans to 'level up the North'. Something we have heard with almost every Prime Minister pledge to do – but with very little clarity over how this will be achieved and what success looks like. It's true there is a clear divide when it comes to economic outcomes between London and the North. Michael Simmons takes a look at the data and discusses a left-wing levelling up agenda with Ed Shackle Head of Qualitative Research at Public First and Neil O'Brien, Conservative MP and former minister for Levelling up.</p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Artemis Fund Managers, for more information on our fund range please click here https://www.artemisfunds.com/ .</p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

<p>Keir Starmer has announced his plans to ban social media for under 16s in Britain. The ban is due to come in early next year and include all main social media apps. Age-recognition and digital ID checks will be used to keep children away from social media. But when it comes to child safety, will it make a difference? And what are the unintended consequences of a ban?

<p>For years, Pride month has been an unmissable fixture in the corporate calendar. But recently, many of the world’s biggest brands appear to be quietly backing away – toning down campaigns, dropping rainbow logos and retreating from the culture wars. The Spectator’s economics editor Michael Simmons looks at why corporate Pride is losing its commercial appeal. Is this a genuine shift in public opinion, a fear of consumer backlash, or simply a case of companies deciding that activism no longer pays? Brendan O’Neill also joins the show to discuss what the retreat from Pride says about business, politics and the changing culture of corporate virtue-signalling.</p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by Artemis Fund Managers, for more information on our fund range please click here https://www.artemisfunds.com/ .</p><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

<p>May local elections have finally arrived. As 5,066 seats are contested in local councils many are wondering whether there is any point in voting at all.
