Financial crime in the UK. $2trn to $5.5trn dirty money laundered globally. 40% through the UK, its Crown Dependencies, Overseas Territories. Govt can take out Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) to chase crooks. 2017-2025: 7 UWOs, none since 2019, no prosecutions. Laws not enforced on the City.

Between 2011 and 2023, 816 care homes in England were forcibly closed by the regulator for poor standards and harms to residents. 804 were owned by for-profit entities. 30% -40% of fees vanish in profits, leaving less for services. Profits and care don't mix.

The Brexit mood music has changed. You can’t wang on about sovereignty and fish any more and expect people to care. Trade deals aren’t massively convincing either.
