It’s still eight weeks to go until the Autumn Budget, but speculation is rife, especially with Labour Party conference this week. Is the UK economy reaching a tipping point? Or should we expect long-term stagnation? I shared my prediction with @skynewsrss.bsky.social 📺.

Are you a spender or a saver? I spoke to @thetimes.com about my attitudes to money and investment for this feature. www.thetimes.com/article/9932...

What an extraordinary turnaround from Trump! 😯 I welcome it, of course. I’ve been saying for 3.5 years we must support Ukraine until they win. 🇺🇦 It's the only way to deal with a bully like Putin. Will strong words now lead to strong actions? #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/sunqcvT62l

Will you get rich if you just stop drinking and get nine hours sleep? 🍻😴 My team tell me @iman-gadzhi.bsky.social is a very successful guy and, at just 25, already a committed philanthropist - which I applaud. 👏 As for this piece of advice, I’m living proof that it’s nonsense!

Ahead of the public launch at Parliament on Monday, @congeostrategy.bsky.social and I held a private reception at my London home Mayfair House to launch the latest Caudwell Strong Britain report. This year's research, written by Dr Mann Virdee, looks at how to attract more foreign investment to UK.

In today's @financialtimes.com, I share my Budget recommendations with @pickardje.bsky.social. These include new taxes on online gambling, alcohol, cigarettes, and processed carbohydrates to generate vital public revenue while also protecting society. 📰 Read in full: on.ft.com/4gtABur

The Government’s promises of GDP growth will fail unless it moves beyond slogans and reshuffles to implement substantive reforms in tax, planning and infrastructure to provide the certainty needed for business investment. 📰 My latest @cityam.bsky.social column: bit.ly/46hsLj2

With Russia's overnight drones into Poland, we are closer to World War III than we've ever been since the Cuban Missile Crisis, or maybe even since Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939.

Should they stay or should they go? Is the millionaire exodus really happening? And what’s the morality behind the decision for a wealthy individual? 📞 I discussed on my recent LBC phone-in with Tom Swarbrick. For the record, I have no intention of leaving! 🇬🇧

✨ In property, space planning isn’t just about making things *fit* - it’s about making them work. And it's the foundation of great design. This hotel I came across in China is a masterclass in how NOT to do it. At my property company Caudwell, we obsess over every detail.

What would you do? You have the chance to renegotiate terms totally favourable to you with one of your main distributors, a household name retailer that just lost contracts with your two biggest competitors. Do the deal and make a fortune? 💷 Or walk away?

💷 Is billionaire a dirty word? 💷 Do rich people primarily hoard wealth or create it? Versions of this question came up a lot during my @lbc.co.uk phone-in with @tomswarbrick.bsky.social. While I agree the rich-poor divide needs rebalancing, our attitude to wealth in the UK really holds us back. 🇬🇧
