    November 14, 2023

    Rishi Sunak's reshuffle was his third attempt to relaunch the Conservative Party, and this time he's also reheating David Cameron's career, writes Will Cooling

  • We’re living in a spreadsheet-crazy world, it’s time we wised up on data

    November 9, 2023

    Data plays a crucial part in decision-making in the modern world, but our politician and leaders barely know how to use it, writes Will Cooling.

  • A year on, Rishi Sunak has swapped a fast death for the Tories for a slow one

  • Even on their favourite battlegrounds, the Conservatives have no new ideas

    August 31, 2023

    The Conservatives have no new solutions or ideas for migration, crime, and pretty much everything else. They can't even turn old ideas into good policies, writes Will Cooling

  • Even hiking their fees might not be enough for universities to turn a profit

    August 17, 2023

    Universities are in an existential crisis, losing money and the quality of their teaching. But even the option of hiking fees doesn't look feasible at the moment, writes Will Cooling

  • Natwest learnt a hard lesson in leaving the on-camera rows to the politicians
