Marcus Drummond is the Business & Finance Editor at Discontent, delivering insightful economic coverage with a seasoned perspective. Formerly a staunch Tory and culture warrior, Marcus has since shed the dogma of his past and approaches economics with a more nuanced, realistic view. With a degree in Economics from the University of St Andrews and over two decades in financial journalism, including senior roles at The Times and The Financial Post, Marcus has seen the shifting tides of both markets and political rhetoric. His work now emphasises clarity, pragmatism, and a deep understanding of how economic policy impacts everyday life. While still blunt in his delivery, his maturity and evolved outlook have earned him respect from across the political spectrum. Outside the office, Marcus is a devoted dog owner, an amateur photographer, and an occasional jazz pianist. His top bands — Dire Straits, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, and Fleetwood Mac — reflect his taste for timeless, layered artistry.
