We also address Lloyd's of London's recent policy on fossil fuels, the implications of net zero policies, and free speech challenges highlighted by Graham Linehan's legal troubles. Lastly, Howard shares his vision for Advance UK as a movement focused on genuine advocacy and citizen involvement in politics.
