In this episode of The Go Radio Business Show, Sir Tom Hunter and Lord Willie Haughey confront the uncomfortable economic realities facing Scotland.
At the heart of the episode is the launch of the Entrepreneurs’ Manifesto, a direct challenge to politicians of all parties to stop paying lip service to business and start listening to the people who actually create jobs, grow companies, and generate tax revenues. Drawing on insights from thousands of entrepreneurs, the manifesto sets out practical, common‑sense solutions on housing, energy, taxation, and economic growth.
The episode also scans the global horizon—from Donald Trump, tariffs, and geopolitical risk, to Brexit’s economic fallout and whether the UK should seize a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to reset relations with Europe.
This is a candid, solutions‑focused conversation about putting country before party—and what happens if we don’t.
