THE INSURGENTS

RAF engineer, software architect at Lehman Brothers, the MP who made Brexit arithmetically possible, a government minister who lost his seat — and decided to build a movement rather than disappear. Baker has spent thirty years inside institutions that were supposed to work and watched them fail from every angle.

Now he chairs Fighting for a Free Future and hosts The Insurgency podcast, turning the organising instincts that once rewired Parliament toward the harder problem: changing what Britain thinks is possible.

Harry Richer is the Director of Fighting for a Free Future and co-hosts The Insurgency podcast. Before launching FFF, he served as Baker's senior aide and was Head of Research for the Covid Recovery Group, the backbench caucus that challenged the UK Government's lockdown modelling in real time.

A contributing author to The Age of Debt Bubbles (Springer, 2024) and published in CapX and The National Interest, he sits at the junction of policy research, editorial provocation and broadcast media — the person who turns an argument into a headline.

Liam Noble Shearer runs the operational backbone of Fighting for a Free Future — podcast production, Substack publishing, and the logistics that keep a media brand running. A former Parliamentary staffer and freelance writer with bylines in City AM and Research Professional News, he brings a rare combination of political experience and editorial instinct to the operation.
