Economy
My views on economic policy and the financial sector.

 
The scope for government economic policy has narrowed, but something has to change.
Government needs to say will reverse or postpone tax cuts if OBR says not sustainable. Bank of England should improve its communications.
Why the Bank had to restore order.
Labour has to challenge conventional wisdom to promote economic growth that benefits everyone - otherwise our public services will continue to deteriorate.
What matters most is our economy's productive potential. We don't usually get something for nothing.
A sketch of where we are following recent data. Some investment and ESG questions.
The Bank of England's outlook in its August Monetary Policy Report was one of doom and gloom. It should ensure it is not captured by dated orthodoxy but ultimately government should act on cost of living crisis.
Not an easy task given uncertainties, especially if energy and commodity prices do fall later in the year. Ultimately, radical economic reform required.
