  • Wimbledon 2019: Believe it or not, tennis is a sport in decline

    Why Wimbledon winners haven't boosted UK tennis numbers

    Wimbledon is once again nearly upon us. And despite the munificence of the championships and inspirational successes of Andy Murray, it is a staggering indictment that the long-term trend is a declining sport, turning over £1.5bn per annum. Read more: Wimbledon men’s tennis is still finding its titanic trio hard to replace In its latest [...]

  • One new runway at Heathrow isn’t enough for our ultra dynamic aviation industry

    Few industries have been more dynamic and disruptive than aviation. No one foresaw the rapid shift from propeller planes to jets, the overnight rise of transatlantic jet travel or the 5 per cent cumulative annual passenger growth between 1970 and 2010. Other trends also came as a surprise, including the explosion in airport retail and [...]

    As you sit down to read City A.M. today over a perfectly smooth coffee from one of London’s ubiquitous coffee shops, you’re probably well aware that we don’t grow coffee in this country, never will and don’t care either.

No serious US politician seeking power wants to reverse that. And in this country, it will [...]

  • Commuters need a radical privatised solution to cut through the rail blob

    August 20, 2014

    THE ANGRY reaction to this week’s announcement of inflation-beating fare rises shows just how little the current train franchise system has succeeded in winning the hearts and minds of travellers. Incomplete privatisation has left us between two stools, with the result that calls for renationalisation grow louder every year. The long-term solution, however, lies not [...]

  • This is the start of a new democratic space race – and Britain is at its head

    July 16, 2014

    Yesterday's announcement that the government has shortlisted eight potential sites for a UK spaceport, and enabled a regulatory regime for manned spaceflight, is a breakthrough moment for our £11bn space sector. While the industry has already enjoyed Bric-style growth rates in recent years, we are now on track to remove crucial blockages to UK leadership [...]
