The UK is spending £100 billion every year on its debt interest debt. We borrowed £150 billion last year. Our debt is basically 100% of our total income. And meanwhile Labour refuses to pass a £5 billion welfare cut to get people back to work. When are the adults coming back?

The Church of England top brass plan to spend £100m on slavery reparations. It's emerged this isn't within the charitable objectives of the Church Commissioners. They already spent £5m on admin for it, even though the Charity Commission haven't signed it off. Time for a rethink.

Suggesting that regulation of so-called "non-financial misconduct" has a bearing on financial conduct is a classic case of mandate creep regulators like the FCA are prone to. Fred de Fossard excellently warns of its damaging effects on the financial sector.

The government's insistent focus on meeting Net-Zero targets at the expense of energy security and affordability is detrimental to economic growth. Maurice Cousins shows that even the OBR cost estimates (£803bn over 25yrs) underestimates the true harm Net Zero causes.

Mein Gastartikel für Tichys Einblick tichyseinblick.de/gastbeitrag/so… Ein positives Beispiel aus dem Vereinten Königreich zum Thema wie Soziale Medien die Politik beeinflussen und auch verändern können. Der Fall Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf war erst der Anfang in Deutschland.

The pick up in inflation in June probably won't prevent the Bank from cutting rates again next month (especially if tomorrow's jobs data are weak), but the gap between the UK and euro area keeps widening. Obvious culprit - the continued pass through of higher payroll costs... 🙄

If this kills the AR7 renewables auction round off entirely, Tice will be saving the economy £25 billion per year by 2030. Perhaps £2500 per household in total over the next five years.

The City needs a Chancellor who truly understands growth and key drivers of prosperity, not just rhetoric. Thanks to my co-writer Amar Johal and CapX for publishing our piece on why Britain's financial future depends on getting this right.

The Govt that promised to "Kickstart Economic Growth" is rightly being dragged through the mud today over its capitulation to the vegetable lobby on planning. Sadly, as Emmanuel Igwe and Amar Johal point out, this lack of reforming ambition extends to financial deregulation.
