  • Even in the middle of the war, we need to plan how to rebuild – and fund – Ukraine

    Paul Ormerod

    Western countries must come up with a Marshall Plan 2.0 to rebuild Ukraine when this bloody war ends, writes Paul Ormerod

  • Rishi Sunak’s strategy of quiet governance won’t deliver an election victory

    Paul Ormerod

    To balance out Liz Truss' short-lived premiership, Rishi Sunak is trying to govern like a grown-up. But being this quiet won't win him the next election, writes Paul Ormerod

  • A miniscule bit of growth last November is unlikely to save us from a recession this year

    paul ormerod

    Whichever way you cut it, the UK is on the brink of a recession. A small boost in growth at the end of last year won't alleviate the cost-of-living crisis and inflation, writes Paul Ormerod

  • Sunak is right. If more Brits could do maths our economy might just start growing again

    January 11, 2023

    Sunak’s understanding of maths was an important strength during his time as Chancellor. He is right in promoting a model for education that focuses on improving numeracy skills, writes Paul Ormerod According to Rishi Sunak, everyone up to the age of 18 should be learning maths. It was an idea widely disparaged when the prime [...]

  • China’s zero-Covid policy must be a cautionary tale for the UK

    January 4, 2023

    The rise in Covid-19 cases in China has seen the return of travel restrictions – but Paul Ormerod argues the scientific evidence suggests lockdowns aren’t worth the cost – only shifting cases, rather than eliminating them As we greet the new year with the hope of more serene times ahead, some might do it with [...]

  • This Christmas, let’s all reconsider how we think about innovation, jobs and wages

    December 21, 2022

    There is still time to have a last minute Christmas present delivered. No, of course not by Royal Mail; but one of its enthusiastic competitors will do the job. Given the impact which technology in general and the internet in particular has had on postal service, it is hard to imagine a more pointless strike [...]

  • If we concede to the unions, Britain will find itself in a dizzying wage-price spiral

    December 14, 2022

    A wage price spiral. We have not experienced one for so long that for most people the phrase might just as well be written in the Old English of a thousand years ago.  It is, well, sort of comprehensible but only just. But such spirals can take hold with terrifying swiftness. Towards the end of [...]

  • If you can build a football team, you can advance the fortunes of poor nations

    December 7, 2022

    In Qatar, there has been a storm over its treatment of women, the LGBT community, and other minorities. But it has also, in another way, been the most egalitarian World Cup. What used to be called “upsets”, with notionally weaker teams beating their alleged superiors have almost become the norm.

  • In low income parts of the UK, boosting productivity is a question of competition

    November 30, 2022

    Productivity is a puzzle with many different layers. When it becomes a mainstay in political speeches, it is rarely for a good reason. Most of the recent focus is on why it has been so slow, in the overall economy, for the last decade or so. In the 1990s, productivity in G7 countries rose at [...]

  • Housing Associations have no accountability and a 2-year-old has paid the price

    November 23, 2022

    The tragic death of Awaab Ishak, the two-year-old killed by exposure to mould, has been described in detail over the last week. We’ve heard of all the complaints made against Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), the housing association which owned and managed the flat. And yet, the organisation appears to be full of self-congratulation. It boasts [...]
