On 22 February 2019, I spoke at a conference in memory of a good friend, Tessa Jowell. The event was about her legacy, marking 20 years since the...
Things have not being going well for low- and middle-income Britain: wages flatlining, public services crumbling and, as a result, faith in mainstream...
Too many people go to university is a popular argument. I disagree. Insofar as our economy does not create enough highly skilled jobs for the...
Names matter. I’ve written a whole book about our country being called Great Britain at a time when things haven’t been going great. And being...
First, the good news. We middle-aged Brits are no longer condemned to the conversation- and soul-destroying monomania of debating house prices. Less...
Single-sex teams are something for the football pitch, not the workplace. It’s not the 1950s. Many studies show the benefits of mixed teams: among...
I was in a meeting recently between MPs and BBC execs. The former wanted to talk about one thing: getting more of the BBC’s jobs and spending out of...
“Here’s how to retire early,” promise TikTok’s financial influencers. But the life hacks offered never cover the most important advice: pick...
Earlier this month, an unusual prize ceremony got under way. Five Nobel laureates gathered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, not to...
Regents, stand-ins for monarchs who are too young or incapacitated, feature prominently in the history books. Scotland managed six regents for the...
If you want to persuade someone, start by listening to them. We’ve all heard that, and it sounds right. But it’s not true, concludes interesting...
Persistence studies are all the rage in economics – using clever maths to show that events in the distant past drive political or economic outcomes...
We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Nor judge a research paper by its title. “Discussion paper No.5: Public investment and potential...
Economists are pro-competition, warning against concentrated markets – dominated by a few large firms that face too little pressure to keep prices...
Detectorists is great TV. Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook wander Suffolk’s fields, making the case for all of us to take up metal detecting as they...
It has been a grim week. The reality that even a small minority is prepared to engage in violence, bringing racist language and acts to our streets,...
One of the reasons I support building more homes is it will help bring down housing costs if we keep at it. Government research finds a 1% increase in...
There’s the Tory tax-cutting rhetoric and then there’s the tax-rising reality: between 2019 and 2024 the Conservatives delivered the largest rise...
Wealth is a big deal: household wealth in Britain has surged in recent decades to over £15tn. And it’s unequal, with wealth inequality twice as...
One week done, five to go. Hang in there, people. What have we learned? That the Conservatives plan to spray around lots of policies. Fair enough –...
In the aftermath of the pandemic there was much talk of a “great resignation” as people re- evaluated their lives. More columns were written about...
The frontrunner to be the next US president is spending his weeks in court, charged with a criminal offence related to an alleged sexual encounter...
For most of my career in economic policy, no one asked much about trade data – about developments with imports and exports. The subject just...
Every government looks to save money. Sometimes, it’s a priority to reduce spending, as with post-2010 austerity. Even when overall spending is...
There’s much talk of “fiscal pinch points” driving economic policy decisions. But there are moral pinch points, too. Not least when it comes to...
An interesting history lesson this week. We’re all used to stories about the inbreeding of monarchies across early modern Europe. Austria’s...
We’re not very productive. Stagnant productivity is the reason wages have flatlined since 2008, leaving our pay packets £14,000 lighter than if...
In policy making, as in life, the goal is to recognise when you have a problem, without getting it out of perspective. Otherwise nothing gets done....
As the dust settles on the budget, it’s time to reflect on the real task facing anyone trying to govern Britain. The tax cuts announced are paid for...
The budget hasn’t moved the polls. They never do. But it may mark a change in politics. Why? Because it didn’t prioritise pensioners. The...
It’s important to worry about the right things. Interest rates are up, sparking worries about our debts – in my case, the mortgage. Consumer debt...
That was a grim week for British politics. Making an unspeakable tragedy in the Middle East about ourselves takes some doing, but the Commons managed...
There are so many elections this year but how to go about winning them? Labour has a sub-optimal, but impressively consistent strategy: waiting...
Almost none of the long-term changes people said the pandemic would bring have turned out to be true. The gratitude and respect for carers and lower...
What makes us happy? I don’t mean in general – this isn’t a column about the good life, your plans to escape to the country or the latest...
Competition policy normally focuses on the dangers of big companies exploiting consumers. Thus, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced...
There’s an election coming and you should vote, but a healthy democracy requires more of its citizens than rocking up to the polling booth. Ideally,...
The meaning of life? Famously 42, according to a supercomputer asked “the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything” in Douglas...
Inflation is down. The rate of annual price rises fell to 4.6% in October, from double digits back in March. As Rishi Sunak reminds us, inflation has...

Britain has huge strengths, but it is now impossible to miss that we’re in a phase of relative decline. A year or two of poor productivity growth...
There’s lots of chat about slimming down the UK’s civil service – it’s grown by 25% since the Brexit referendum (albeit only back to its...
