“I personally think he has every right to say these things. But I think the question is how much we should listen to him. And the answer is not much.” After Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s outburst earlier this week where he said he’d lost confidence in the UK, professor of political economy at The University of Sheffield Michael Jacobs says that Ratcliffe “is wrong to suggest to say the rich are being taxed disproportionately.” Michael Jacobs was speaking to Darryl Morris on Times Radio.
