Show Notes

Over the past few years, the UK government has promised a tougher stance on money laundering. With new challenges that include cryptocurrency and the soaring value of gold, how will Britain ever get clean from its dirty money reputation?


In this episode, The Standard’s chief political correspondent Rachael Burford speaks to Joe Powell, the Labour MP for Kensington and Bayswater, who founded the Kensington Against Dirty Money campaign in 2022 to tackle the issue of illicit finance in London. Together, they explore how sanctions are enforced, and the tax haven loopholes that let dirty money slip through the cracks.
