When the roses bloom again
I wonder how many people have read as far as the long-term projections at the end of the OECD’s Economic Outlook. Ed Conway was one of the few to comment on them and he noticed a “whopping slab of good news … Continue reading →...

Britain’s debt shows just how bad a kicking we’ve had
The OECD published its Economic Outlook on Wednesday. If you are too tight-fisted to buy it you can read it online by clicking this image: There’s plenty of interesting stuff in there but, as it’s something I haven’t written about for...

ECHR throws out religious discrimination claims
At last, the final chapter of the ‘discrimination against Christians’ cases (see previous posts ad nauseam). The European Court of Human Rights has thrown out the appeals of Shirley Chaplin, Gary McFarlane and Lillian Ladele. For the time...

What’s happened to the gender pay gap?
Last week’s post on the strange disappearance of Italy’s gender pay gap reminded me to do an update on what’s happening with ours. The ONS published its latest figures a couple of months ago so I have added them to … Continue reading...

Whatever the UK’s problems are, leaving the EU won’t solve them
The question of Britain’s EU membership is causing chaos in our governing party again. So much so that our Prime Minister was forced to answer trivial questions about it when he was trying to look statesmanlike. However much you might … Continue...

Sleepwalking into tomorrow’s state
IFS director Paul Johnson reckons the June spending review is going to be bloody. George Osborne will have to tell us where the next round of spending cuts will fall. That’s the cuts on top of the cuts he’s already … Continue reading...

Thatcherite zeal? Or just a re-enactment?
Boris Johnson and some Conservative backbenchers called for ‘Thatcherite zeal’ against the trade unions, as they renewed demands for tougher strike laws. I’ve already had a go at Boris about this in a previous post but let’s just...

Who lost the 20th century?
In the end, after a lively debate, the New Statesman’s audience decided that the left won the 20th century. That still seems slightly odd to me, given that the left has suffered considerable reverses on the economic front since the … Continue...
