Nick King: London is unlikely to have another “Big Bang” moment – but here’s how we can boost its potential post-Brexit

There’s huge scope to enhance the City, and the British economy – especially if we learn the right lessons from Thatcher-era reforms.

By Nick King | 15 January 2021 | 17 comments

Daniel Hannan: Britain is skint – so we should use our post-EU freedom to grow ourselves out of this mess.

It may sound obvious, even trite, but it’s the only way out. The primary purpose of economic policy for the next five years should be to generate revenue.

2021 and the race to normality. Post-vaccine hospitalisation and transmission data are key to reopening the economy.

The Government must speed up its vaccination programme, but until it understands the effect on transmission, tiers are here to stay.

Laurence Robertson: The gambling review is essential. But MPs must be wary of the law of unintended consequences.

Well intentioned measures can end up unfairly penalising the vast majority of the 30 million people in this country who enjoy a harmless bet.

James Blagden: The Government cannot assume its majority is safe. It must continue to win over “Contract Conservatives”.

56 per cent of these voters were persuaded by the Conservatives’ pledge to “Get Brexit done”, compared to 34 per cent of other Tory voters.

Andy Street: 15 years on, we can finally heal the scars of MG Rover’s collapse

Completing the regeneration of Longbridge would be a powerful example of Conservative policy actively “levelling up” the economy.

By Andy Street | 1 December 2020 | 11 comments

Howard Flight: Sunak’s Keynesian interventions are working. Here’s what the Treasury should consider next.

I would hope it has researched which areas of expenditure have the largest spending multiplier effects.

By Lord Flight | 30 November 2020 | 11 comments

Joel Gladwin: International rivals are catching up on the UK’s fintech success. Here’s how we can defend our crown.

The approach towards a functional open finance ecosystem can be quicker, leaner and more agile than the EU’s.

The Chancellor’s Spending Review statement. Full text – “The UK is forecast to borrow a total of £394 billion this year”

This is “the highest recorded level of borrowing in our peacetime history”, says Sunak, as he outlines new steps for the economy.

John O’Connell: To ensure efficient government spending, we need a new Parliamentary Budget Committee

A dedicated body could focus on scrutinising the economy and effectiveness of future plans. Australia and New Zealand already have similar models.

By John O'Connell | 24 November 2020 | 3 comments

Ben Houchen: My advice to the Prime Minister. Go green for more jobs in the Red Wall – and double down on levelling up.

The fourth piece in a ConHome series this week on the Prime Minister’s Reset Moment – and what should follow from it.

By Ben Houchen | 19 November 2020 | 35 comments

The proposed foreign aid cut. Many Tories are against it. But Sunak has limited options as he tries to salvage the economy.

Reports suggest the Government is planning to reduce spending from 0.7 per cent of gross national income to 0.5 per cent.

The Government is up against the clock to justify its next set of restrictions – as the Covid Recovery Group grows

Even if the Government ends lockdown on December 2, it will be under pressure to prove why some areas should be under a tiered system.

By Charlotte Gill | 17 November 2020 | 109 comments

Ed Vaizey: Ending tax-free shopping for international visitors would be disastrous for the British economy

The policy will make the country less competitive on the world stage. Indeed, it’ll be the only one in Europe not offering VAT-free shopping.
