  • Rail strikes: More competition could see unrest become a thing of the past

    EDITORIAL

    Government cannot continue to abdicate responsibility - it is time to bang some heads together to end the rail strikes

  • Big Bang 2.0? Smart post-Brexit reforms can put power in the country’s engine

    EDITORIAL

    It may be a transparent nod to the geographical spread of the UK’s financial services industry, but the fact the Chancellor is delivering his thesis on the country’s post-Brexit regulatory regime north of the border is worth noting. The phrase Big Bang 2.0 has been ditched – it’s now the Edinburgh Reforms – but the [...]

  • Capital can’t be complacent about attracting new talent

    editorial

    The perils of business journalism are many but one that is often under-remarked upon is the danger of drowning in data releases. Inboxes our end are full of new analyses, some of relatively questionable value, and it is sometimes hard to see the wood from the trees. Not so yesterday when the latest iteration of [...]

  • All hail the political u-turn – we should welcome more of them

    December 6, 2022

    Should you be driving towards the edge of the white cliffs of Dover, hands on the wheel and pedal to the metal, you can imagine that any passengers who happened to be in the car alongside you would be encouraging you, at some volume and with no small level of profanity, to turn the thing [...]

  • Questioning the impact of remote working doesn’t make you a dinosaur

    December 5, 2022

    Speak to a lot of chief executives in private – especially once those magical words ‘off the record’ are uttered – and you’ll hear all sorts of frustrations with the state of everything from our politicians to their human resources department. But one topic that keeps coming up – almost anathema in our wider business [...]

  • It’s long since time to bump up MPs’ pay – we need the best and brightest

    December 4, 2022

    MPs’ pay is not up to standard It perhaps says something about being an MP that Matt Hancock would rather spend three weeks eating various less-than-pleasant parts of exotic Aussie animals than hang around in Westminster. He also felt that he could bring more light to his personal cause – screening for dyslexia in schools [...]

  • Pharma giant Takeda enters into $7.5bn loan agreement to fund Shire takeover

    June 8, 2018

    Japanese pharmaceutical giant Takeda announced today that entered into a $7.5bn (£5.6bn) term loan credit agreement to fund Shire merger, with several financial institutions. The loan will be used to pay off a portion of the company's £46bn deal to take over the Ireland-based pharmaceutical company Shire which was agreed upon on 8 May. Although [...]

  • The missing link: Four ways blockchain will change the face of retail banking

    March 22, 2018

    It's no secret that the retail banking system is in dire need of an upgrade. There is a strong case to be made for a decentralised banking system based on blockchain. With high barriers to entry (particularly in the financially vulnerable and unbanked section of the market), and the security concerns around centralised stores of [...]

  • It’s high time archaic cannabis prohibition went up in smoke

    February 5, 2018

    Five years ago, Colorado and Washington became the first two states in the US to legalise cannabis. Alaska and Oregon followed, and at the beginning of this year, California and Nevada joined them. This month will see Maine start sales and Connecticut debate legalisation, while to the north, Canada will start selling on the same [...]

  • For King and Country: As Swaziland celebrates 50 years of independence, the king took to the stage to make an astonishing announcement

    June 8, 2017

    Portraits of the Lion and the Great She Elephant — King Mswati III and his mother — stare down from the wall of the immigration office. The animal print pattern of the king’s tribal dress seems a world away from the border-bureaucracy of entry stamps and customs forms, but it’s part of the dichotomy of [...]
