Brexit Economics: The Old Roots of Britain's New Economic Challenges - With John Mills

Breaking Britain: A Podcast about the Politics of a Disunited Kingdom

This week on the Breaking Britain podcast, we examine the economic dilemmas the UK faces in an increasingly competitive global landscape. Joining us is John Mills, who as a senior figure in the world of business and author exploring the global economy who has written extensively to make the case for Brexit as a potentially transformative economic project.
John Mills is founder and Chairman of JML, a consumer goods distribution company, which exports to more than 70 countries around the world. He is also an economist and author, noted for his writing on Brexit, the Labour Party and exchange rate policy. A lifelong Labour Party supporter, John has over the years played a prominent role in UK policy debates and was a Co-Chair of Vote Leave and Chair of Labour Leave during the campaign over the UK's future in the EU in 2016. He was also national agent for the ‘No’ campaign during the 1975 Referendum on the UK joining the European Economic Community (EEC).
With his long experience of the challenges societies face at a time of accelerating globalisation, John Mills can help provide key insights into how UK governments can kickstart economic growth that has stagnated for too long.
