Really interesting, clear articulation of growth, this. But struck by the fact that in setting out measures to reforming the flow of capital: none of the reforms listed are going to do anything of the sort. In some cases, they'll do the opposite.

Hello, it’s me: a concerned citizen. journalists should not have strong opinions about the appointment of Civil Servants regardless of their seniority. This has been a thing since Brexit and it’s bad IMO.

Did you know the amount of non-emergency savings held in cash or low-interest accounts is worth £430 billion? At our upcoming panel event, we'll be discussing how to get these savings better invested to spur economic growth. Register here:

If the MPs who signed the pro-WASPI letter to
@patmcfaddenmp.bsky.social
can't think of a better use for taxpayer money, they should not be in Parliament. The Ombudsman recommendation would spend £££ and satisfy noone. Should have taken a harder line 2 years ago.

On the one hand, the Labour Party’s outright refusal to do any governing, thus taking a generational opportunity to remodel society represents one of the biggest bag fumbles of my life. On the other hand, their commitment to producing content is excellent.

Britain is a country of investors – they just don’t know it. In our latest report,
@gideonsalutin.bsky.social
and John Asthana Gibson outline how we can strengthen the UK’s retail investment landscape – and deliver a much-needed boost to the wider economy.

Steve Webb here, an actual expert, explaining why various ‘experts’ predicting the Budget and urging you to make a disastrous financial decision are wrong. They’ll all of course act like nothing happened the day afterwards.

In Dublin for the next few days on a sad middle aged business man trip where I will mostly be seen in the evenings sadly cradlin pints of guiness and asking for the receipt. On that note - anywhere I can get a decent pint tonight and not be surrounded by Utd fans as I watch the Europa League?

Read your thoughts on cash ISAs this mornig which I think I mostly agree with. But think one of the bigger issues here is that swathes of people use them to shelter themselves from tax which they'd never have to pay if they just put them in a bank account. AGBR will help.

Re: Derby County 2009, it really was much grimmer than you remember. There's a reason that record has lasted so long - Southampton have already won double the amount of games and scored as many goals.

Maybe it's just my timeline, maybe it's just what's going on at the moment but BlueSky would be a much more enjoyable experience if a lot of the content on it wasn't simply screen grabs from what was going on on other social media apps.
