What if the real revolution isn’t coming from the Left — but from the forgotten champions of free markets and personal freedom?
In this special edition of Despatch, former Conservative MP Steve Baker lays out a bold and urgent case for a political reawakening. With the UK economy stumbling under the weight of high taxes, ballooning debt, and bureaucratic drift, Steve argues that the real danger isn’t populism — it’s the slow death of freedom under a stifling managerial consensus.
Launching his new movement Fighting for a Free Future, Steve says we're facing a huge crisis and we need a paradigm shift: a return to the principles that once lifted billions out of poverty and could do so again — if only we had the courage to unleash them.
Drawing inspiration from Leonard Read’s classic essay \"I, Pencil\" and Argentina’s dramatic turnaround under President Javier Milei, this episode is a passionate reminder that voluntary cooperation, not state coercion, lies at the heart of human progress.
