By: Vince Cable

  • If we reform the City too fast, it will sow political angst against the financial recovery we need

    VINCE CABLE

    This long-term approach, with business and government cooperating to promote investment and productivity growth, has been dropped. Instead, we have “deregulation” with little strategic thought. 

  • DEBATE: Given the lack of progress during the Covid-19 crisis, should the transition period be extended?

    Given the lack of progress during the Covid-19 crisis, should the Brexit transition period be extended? Sir Vince Cable, former leader of the Liberal Democrats and former secretary of state for business, innovation and skills, says YES. Extending the transition period will become critical as this government limps towards the end of June with no [...]

  • DEBATE: Will this be a better year for the economy than 2019?

    Will this be a better year for the economy than 2019? Dr Victoria Bateman, lecturer and fellow in Economics at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, says YES. It’s the start of a new year, a time of hope and new beginnings, so I’m going to kick things off on an optimistic note While there was [...]

  • School’s not out – Britain must become a nation of lifelong learners

    March 25, 2019

    For the United Kingdom as for the wider OECD, the most important resources we have are the talents and endeavours of our citizens. However, this is an asset that we are currently failing to nurture as well as we should. The typical refrain from policymakers in response to this challenge is to consider how each [...]

  • Theresa May’s crude policy is the wrong way to manage immigration

    October 11, 2018

    The government's announcement of a new immigration policy post-Brexit has at least the merit of providing a clearer sense of direction – assuming Brexit happens and does so in a reasonably orderly way (which are some big “ifs”). The news also provides an opportunity to think, from first principles, what a sensible immigration policy should [...]

  • A land levy would be far fairer than our punitive business rates

    September 6, 2018

    We have by now all heard about the crisis facing our high streets, and the burden of business rates in particular. But while high-profile retail struggles like that of House of Fraser and Maplin have brought this issue into the headlines, the problems with this badly designed tax run far deeper. Contrary to what any economist [...]

  • As BG reduces Helge Lund’s pay deal, should shareholders press firms to cut executive pay?

    December 1, 2014

    Vince Cable, secretary of state for business, innovation, and skills, says Yes. The decision by BG Group to revise the package offered to Helge Lund is correct. The previous offer made a mockery of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by the firm’s shareholders earlier this year. I called for shareholders to intervene and they did. [...]
