Welcome To
The Norm Report Podcast

Welcome to The Norm Report. And to the Psycho Technology Series – where I examine what AI is doing not only to business, but to leadership, judgment, power, trust, and the human beings trying to remain clear-minded in the middle of it all.
My Mission For The Norm Report Podcast: To equip senior decision-makers with unfiltered insights into AI’s transformative power, its promise, pitfalls, and perils – ensuring they lead with authority in a future where technology amplifies humanity or eclipses it.
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
What happens to government when work disappears?
Tom Blomfield, founder of Monzo, made a striking claim this week: income tax could be effectively redundant within five years. Not as a distant hypothetical, but as a fiscal consequence of AI automation sweeping through the professional services sector that Britain depends on for 81% of its economic output.
His proposed fix? Stop taxing labour. Start taxing compute, the data centers and infrastructure that replace it.
This episode unpacks the claim, the numbers behind it (income tax and National Insurance make up 42% of UK government revenue), what OpenAI’s own policy paper says about the alternatives, and why the politics of getting this right may be harder than the economics.
A Norm Report deep dive on the fiscal crisis nobody in Westminster is talking about.
This episode is essential listening for CEOs, board members, and senior leaders navigating AI adoption without losing authority, alignment, or strategic control.
Listen in. This is where leadership either evolves or breaks.
💯 Because no matter how powerful your AI strategy is, it will fail if your people don’t believe in the future you’re leading them into.
