Boris Johnson will be grilled today at the covid inquiry. His government was chaotic, but how much did it matter? UK had fewer excess deaths than Italy and USA, but more than France and Germany Yet, if UK had done as well as those two countries it could have saved 30,000 lives

In Llanelli rubgy was king, and tin plate was master. A brilliant 4 mins from @BBCArchive on St David's Day.
Tom Jeffreys was one of the Welshmen who helped establish the steel industry (and rugby) in Baltimore, United States, by bringing his skills, knowledge and passion from the tin works in Llanelli across the Atlantic in the 1920s.
My latest for @TheEconomist: I wrote about a fascinating study that has quantified the effect of marriage and motherhood on labour-force participation across more than 130 countries. Read more about the cost of love and labour: economist.com/interactive/gr…
If Johnson was still PM, the outcome would likely be the same. But something more interesting is that claims like this reveal how many people (and many politicians) make counterfactuals: by comparing the present vs the past and not the present vs an alternate present.
Thank God for those clever-clog ‘Tory grandees’ who got rid of Boris. Dodged a bullet there didn’t they! Genius 🤣

QTWTAIN Can anyone really take this seriously coming from a 🇬🇧 publication?

@JamesFransham @ProfTimBale @TheEconomist Ah thank you - had never realised that was fact (although makes sense in terms of general observations that girls often seem older than boys in primary school).

💥Moody's sees UK house prices falling about 10% over the next two years. It reckons a more severe fall (of around 20%) would push the UK into recession for a year and a half. Handy international comparison on mortgage composition 👇
Behold the majesty of the M4 corridor
As @M_Sumption said on #r4today just now, wait for the actual numbers rather than paying any attention to the CPS's wild guesses here. We at @UKandEU and @MigObs will be analysing the data & holding a briefing when released on May 25. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…
** SOME EXCITING NEWS ** After almost eight wonderful years at The Economist, in July I’m moving on to join the @FT as an economics columnist and podcaster. aboutus.ft.com/press_release/…
@JamesFransham @conorsen Thanks! It's the spread between 30year conventional fixed rate and the 10 year BEI. (Duration of 30yr mortgage mostly closely matches the 7yr treasury note but there is no 7yr BEI series.) Relationship does not hold pre-2008 because there were big changes in lending standards.
American cities are well connected by roads. European cities are well connected by public transport. UK cities are … neither.
The UK's non-London cities stand out for poor infrastructure: their roads have a smaller reach than American cities, and their public transport has a smaller reach than Western European cities. America prioritizes roads, Europe prioritizes transit; the UK does neither well.
