The Politics of Growth - my piece for @prospect_uk out today sets out some political suggestions for the Government
Voters don’t believe growing the economy will improve their lives. So how can Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves sell it to them?

Even by @UJS_UK’s standard of producing outstanding leaders, @UJS_PRES stands out - holding a mirror up to leaders across society who need to show the same courage and moral clarity in the face of antisemitic hatred and prejudice.
'Where is the outrage? Where has anti-racist civil society gone?'
President of the Union of Jewish Students, Louis Danker, talks to @WilfredFrost and warns of the 'stunning silence' on antisemitism. ⬇️
.@prafulnargund is right about this. Brexit was the answer to an old question. The new question is the future Europe relationship in a Trump tariff world
The UK needs a closer relationship with the EU - but we can't reopen the Brexit debate.
See @prafulnargund on @BBCNewsnight outlining how the Gov can secure a better deal on trade and defence while avoiding political pitfalls.
This is very good stuff from @prafulnargund @GoodGrowthFdn A first take on how the public view growth rather than business. This take is going to grow and grow in importance
ICYMI @nicholaswatt, @vicderbyshire on @BBCNewsnight last night laying out the key themes of GGF Mind the Growth Gap report.
Focus on intuitive growth levers is crucial for voters to feel their lives improving while the economy does too.🔗 goodgrowthfoundation.co.uk/m…

Should Brits be back in the office? Finally a killer slide that shows London v international cities. Thanks the superb Future Places Studio @globalokana
Here’s a thing. IMF say growth needs to increase to 2.6% from next year to avoid tax rises etc. Labour have the right political conditions to do what it takes. But more likely to be “hockey stick” of less than 2% at first then closer to 3% later

A hugely significant read revealing that only a third of our biggest companies are listed! Why does most of our growth come outside of the FTSE where corporate leaders are so constrained? Inconvenient truths about #Growth
Excited to share our report on corporate performance, "Aiming higher: Embedding systematic ambition to drive UK corporate growth". UK corporates are not in decline - but need a new mindset to thrive.

End of the week thought: Labour’s £28bn plan is dead: long live its replacement! My piece for @prospect_uk “Labour’s new economic taskforce is its most significant announcement for a year” prospectmagazine.co.uk/polit…
Excellent and challenging piece on why Britain seems to be faring worse than other countries on post-Covid return to work. Bravo @KateAndrs
Can the country’s economic woes really be blamed on a ‘workshy’ Britain? Or have politicians created a web of benefits and taxes so complicated that they have removed the motivation to work across the income spectrum?
