  • Osborne to confirm Northern Powerhouse think tank

    September 15, 2016

    George Osborne will today confirm his plans, revealed by City A.M. earlier this week, to launch a new Northern Powerhouse think tank.

  • MPs and analysts issue fresh nuclear warnings over Hinkley Point project

    September 15, 2016

    Fresh warnings have been triggered over the cost, security, and deliverability of Britain’s first new nuclear reactors for decades following yesterday’s green light for the £18bn build at Hinkley Point in Somerset. Hinkley Point C will be built by France’s EDF with £6bn of Chinese investment. It is effectively subsidised by the UK taxpayer under the [...]

  • I want to build a national consensus on Britain’s bright post-Brexit future

    September 15, 2016

    Napoleon is said to have once described Britain as a nation of shopkeepers. It was not meant as a compliment, but it highlighted one of our country’s biggest and most enduring strengths. We are one of the great trading nations of the world and the decision taken by the people to leave the EU will [...]

  • Autumn Statement 2016: Businesses tell Philip Hammond to cut national insurance

    September 15, 2016

    Business leaders want Philip Hammond to cut the cost of employment in his first Autumn Statement as chancellor, rather than indulge in headline-grabbing measures like slashing corporation tax.

  • The next Singapore: Britain must seize this opportunity to slash tax and regulation

    September 15, 2016

    I have always been torn over Britain’s relationship with Europe. While I share the loathing of the most passionate Brexiteer for the arrogance of the Brussels elite and their job-destroying regulations, I also fear the largely unintended consequences of what EU withdrawal will mean both for Britain in terms of prosperity and influence, and for [...]

    September 15, 2016

    September 15, 2016

  • The government has confirmed the dates of the Witney and Batley and Spen by-elections

    September 15, 2016

    The government has confirmed that the by-elections to replace David Cameron and Jo Cox will both take place on the same day.

  • How business and politics reacted to the government go-ahead for Hinkley C

    September 15, 2016

    The UK government gave the green light to plans to build the controversial Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant in Somerset today, but with a few revised conditions which should help allay its security concerns. The widely-watched decision has so far received a mixed reception across business and politics. While supporters applauded the project's ability to create [...]

  • Government approves Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant but with revised conditions

    September 15, 2016

    The government approved plans to build the controversial £18bn Hinkley Point C project, but with revised conditions. The move, which paves the way for the UK's first new nuclear power plant in a generation, includes measures to ensure French utility giant EDF remains the controlling partner during the construction phase. Whitehall will also be able to intervene in the sale of [...]
