In this special extended edition of the May 2019 Taxcast we go to Preston in the North of England to see the Preston Model in action – how they’re transforming their local economy and democratizing wealth. Also: dark money and the European elections – elite interests aligning with the far right. And we ask: why doesn’t Britain have its own Huawei?

- Allison Watts and Kay Johnson in Preston’s first worker-owned cooperative The Larder
