Important intervention by the Oxford Smith School to secure a rational, forward-looking and competitive investment, resilience and economic transition plan for the UK. It's a race we can't afford to lose. Proud to be a signatory. www.smithschool.ox.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

Andrew Neil interviews me on net zero. After covering green jobs, the discussion ranged from UK investment & export opportunities, China and the global bond market. A ‘sceptic’ in the past, Neil concedes that we are not going back to fossil fuels.

As a co-signatory of this letter to the @financialtimes.com, @dimitrizz.bsky.social says “the last 15 years have taught us that the UK cannot cut its way to growth”.

15 minute interview w. Andrew Neil ‘Times at One’. He asked good questions, once we moved off his fixation with a narrow definition of green jobs. I got him to accept that we are not going back to fossil fuels! 19':20'' And a free tutorial on bond markets.

Congratulations to Mark Carney on becoming Canada’s new PM. Here’s our discussion from a few years back when, as Governor of the Bank or England, Mark was spearheading new institutional arrangements to transition the world economy www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Yc... @granthamlse.bsky.social

Austerity is bad investment. The UK is not a public debt/deficit outlier, it’s stagflation outlier. Government must invest now in growth. Cutting our way out of debt will only entrench stagnation and failure. www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminst... @bennettinstitute.bsky.social @granthamlse.bsky.social

We warned this wd crowd out private investment & undermine productivity growth. @granthamlse.bsky.social cep.lse.ac.uk/_new/publica...

Before xmas, I wrote about how, unless it slays its election taboos and raises VAT to allow rates to fall & investment to rise, it risks being a 1-term wonder. @bennettinstitute.bsky.social @granthamlse.bsky.social @cisl.cam.ac.uk
