  • Despite apocalyptic Brexit warnings, the good news keeps on coming

    January 22, 2019

    As the twists and turns of this long drawn-out Brexit drama continue, possibly the most surprising aspect of all is just how resilient the good news about UK business continues to be. I know this is tempting fate, I know many experts keep saying that the economic cycle suggests we should have had a recession [...]

  • People’s Vote campaigners are playing dirty with the facts

    January 10, 2019

    As Monday's Channel 4 drama Brexit: The Uncivil War reminded us, the Remain campaign likes to take comfort in the fact that it tried to win us over with facts and figures, never stooping to the kind of outright lies about the economic benefits of leaving the EU or the threats of immigration indulged in by members [...]

  • Theresa May’s survival as Prime Minister will leave an impact long after Brexit

    December 18, 2018

    Nothing has changed. That was the widely held conclusion from Theresa May surviving her no confidence vote last week. The Prime Minister has kicked the can down the road on putting her proposed withdrawal agreement to parliament. But parliamentary arithmetic is unaltered. Her deal, as it stands, still looks dead on arrival. In the absence of [...]

  • George Osborne’s family wallpaper firm blames Brexit wobbles for loss

    November 25, 2018

    The high-end fabric and wallpaper maker run by Sir Peter Osborne, father of former chancellor George Osborne, has pinned a substantial drop into the red on Brexit “uncertainty” and investment. Osborne & Little’s latest accounts, for the year ended 31 March, show a loss before tax of £350,000 on a turnover of £32.1m. In 2016, [...]

  • GoldenTree Asset Management paid Boris Johnson more than £94,000 for a two-hour speech

    November 22, 2018

    Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson received more than £94,000 from a New-York based hedge fund to give a two-hour speech earlier this month. Johnson, who resigned during the summer over Theresa May's so-called Chequers deal, was paid £94,507.85 by GoldenTree Asset Management to speak at its offices on Park Avenue. He was also provided with travel [...]

  • Sugar tax raises £154m but the government warns more must be done

    November 21, 2018

    The sugar tax on soft drinks has raised £153.8m since it came into force in April, the government has said. The levy was rolled out seven months ago to help tackle childhood obesity, with revenue used to fund physical education in primary schools. The figure is less than half the original amount estimated when the tax was [...]

  • Central London house prices set for sharp upturn on Brexit deal

    October 31, 2018

    Central London’s waning high-end property market could be set for a resurgence over the next five years, with a new report forecasting that prime house prices could rocket by more than 15 per cent if an expected bounce in confidence returns to the capital. Despite stamp duty changes and political volatility causing a slowdown in [...]

  • Jes Staley seeks to brush off Bramson challenge but Barclays still faces the headwinds

    October 24, 2018

    Barclays CEO Jes Staley struck a bullish tone yesterday, insisting his investment banking division was on the up. Third quarter profits jumped to £1.5bn, up from £1.1bn a year ago. If this puts a spring in Staley's step, there are plenty of items in his in-tray to pull him back down to earth – not [...]

  • DEBATE: Has the Northern Powerhouse run out of steam?

    October 12, 2018

    Has the Northern Powerhouse run out of steam? Emma Revell, communications officer at the Centre for Policy Studies, says YES. The Northern Powerhouse hasn’t quite run out of steam but it’s certainly not firing on all cylinders. Rail infrastructure improvements have been shelved, the architects of the Northern Powerhouse (most notably George Osborne and Jim O'Neill) [...]

  • London mayor Sadiq Khan joins calls for second referendum on Brexit

    September 16, 2018

    The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has joined calls for a second referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union, claiming the Conservative Party has been left with only “incredibly risky” options for Brexit. Khan, one of the Labour Party’s highest-ranking politicians, wrote in The Observer that an opportunity for the “best possible” Brexit [...]
