MP for Weston-super-Mare since 2005. His campaigns to reboot British capitalism so our economy works for the many, not the few, include the Energy Price Cap; making housing cheaper to own or rent by allowing urban owners and developers to Build Up Not Out; making Britain’s economy more generationally-and-socially-just through a UK Sovereign Wealth Fund; and reforming formerly-nationalised utilities (e.g. energy, telecoms, water, rail) to put customers in charge, rather than politicians, bureaucrats or regulators instead.

Professor of Accounting Practice, Sheffield University Management School, a chartered accountant and economic justice campaigner. He blogs at http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/ and tweets @RichardJMurphy
