Again it has to be said - net zero is not the reason for our stubbornly and stupidly high energy prices - the global price of gas is. www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

We’re delighted to announce that Currys is the latest major retailer to partner with Fair for You. Our customers can now spend their Fair for You Shopping Card loan online at currys.co.uk, or in the electronics retailer’s nearly 300 UK stores. (1/2)

When I was an MP (Labour) Dicky Bird came to my constituency to open a new cricket pavilion in a pretty village. At one point, clearly disconcerted, he said to me privately ‘They’re all *** Tories here, aren’t they?’

The big turning point is not for or against ESG, but whether we try to respond individually or understand the new imperative that only collaborative action can succeed. I look forward to delivering my keynote to next week's 'amfori' European Sustainability Summit 2025. www.amfori.org/event/amfori...

Trump says so much that by the law of averages one will make sense some time. Short termism since Friedman has been the bane of business

Why does BBC report “80% of respondents to a poll on X agree with Musk” as though this figure had any scientific validity whatsoever?

Thank you Pam Bondi for that useful categorisation of trafficked people into “humans, children and women”

Great article by Juan Flores and Mitu Galati in today’s FT: ‘Ur-ESG, Brazil and the Rothschilds’. That ESG investing was happening in 1886 (in this case to further the abolition of slavey) will be of little surprise to those who have read my book! londonpublishingpartnership.co.uk/books/the-bu...

An economist writes…!

Great discussion on GDP 1.01 and economics generally on @bbcradio4.bsky.social Today programme between @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social and Darshini David this morning. Should be part of everyone’s education. West London economists unite!

Just a hunch here, based on an essay I wrote at University 50 years ago: Gene Hackman died of botulism. No evidence of anything else, multiple deaths including of a carnivore. They ate the same toxic meat

ESG and DEI are neither dead nor dying www.linkedin.com/posts/tom-le...

When the truth is the biggest threat we all face is not Putin, or Trump - it’s Climate Breakdown. The sooner we fight it like a war the better.

It’s funny, in a way - that when it comes to wars and issues of ‘defence’ - there’s no reluctance to find vast sums of money… but when it comes to Climate - it’s all teeth sucking and “that’s a bit expensive”..:).

Be clear: ESG was created because issues previously regarded as ’externalities’ were found to put investments at risk. One aspect of this is DEI, where previously fishing in a restricted pool for new talent meant that the best were not always chosen. Good risk management >requires< both ESG and DEI

Spot on. There is no economic, cost of living, environmental or any other justification for backing Rosebank. Only profit, and that can’t be assured, either!

If Trump is right that US air traffic control is populated by incompetents (due to DEI) there is only one safe way forward: Close down the whole system!

This is why the failure to finalise a Global Plastics Treaty at the end of last year was disappointing and why the Treaty must encompass an actual reduction in plastics production and use. #plastics #pollution #biodiversity

Bitcoin from tip“ This tale is the perfect parable for explaining why crypto is nothing but a massive scam which brings misery in its wake. The other clue - Trump and Musk both love it www.bbc.com/news/article...

70pc of flights are taken by 10pc of passengers. If that 10pc were to halve their flights that would see passengers’ carbon footprint fall by a third (without affecting anyone’s holidays)

Pass it on: Liz Truss crashed the economy

I'm trying to imagine how extremely difficult I'd find it to defend, for example, huge swathes of students who were demanding compensation from the government because they felt they hadn't had student loan increases properly communicated to them
