NEW: Britain is the most expensive place in the world to build a new nuclear power station. Here's how to change that. Backed by industry and senior politicians from across the spectrum (including a former SoS and a former nuclear minister), @BritainRemade have launched a plan…
Brilliant @FT reporting on the broadband abundance that followed @Ofcom's efforts to break the @WeAreOpenreach monopoly and unlock competition. Many lessons here for energy & water abundance, as argued for @BritishProgress earlier this year.

I have a couple of times come across the idea of “The Irish Enlightenment”. What exactly was it? I’ve wondered this for quite some time. In the early 18th century especially, there existed a cluster of thinkers in or from Ireland whose ideas seem important by modern standards:…
Every second a Labour MP spends campaigning for a wealth tax is a second that could be spent campaigning for real tax reform that could make the tax system fairer, boost economic growth and (unlike the wealth tax) actually happen. A thread:
A question: When did you last see a government-funded science project that made you catch your breath? The kind of awe you might have felt watching a gigantic SpaceX booster land itself in the arms of a crane? A new essay by me for @BetterScienceUK + a thread below🧵...

France, Germany & other W European countries have more motorways than us, and (unlike us) keep building more. No wonder growth here is low. #InfrastructureMatters #BuildBabyBuild My substack is free to read: timleunig.substack.com/p/build-more-m… @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @Heidi_Labour
An important element of the new @ESRC strategy we are working on is to make the promotion of economic growth an explicit goal of our work. I've written a short piece about why we're doing this, and what that might involve.
Mission‑driven government needs more than ambition: we must rewrite the rules of the game. Today for @BritishProgress, @pdmsero and I show how mechanism design (‘ reverse game theory’) can help the Government shape markets, crowd in investment and deliver radical reform.
I despair for the UK. No country has better fundamentals to profit from the current global mess, so why is Oxbridge not a rival to Silicon Valley? Every one of its problems—from Heathrow to housing, from small boats to the deficit, from the NHS to the explosion in welfare—is…
Every year for the last 40 years, France has built more homes per person than England. If England built at French levels, it would have almost 3 million more homes. French homes are, on average, a fifth bigger that English homes.
What’s Ireland’s biggest development problem? We can build houses – at a small scale. But what we really struggle with is new neighbourhoods – with transport, parks, jobs, and homes. Our new Progress Ireland paper, on land readjustment, shows how we can do this:

We were delighted to host @JohnFingleton1, Nuclear Regulator Taskforce lead and colleagues to our site. The visitors heard how regulation of decommissioning nuclear sites in the UK, including Sellafield, is a large part of existing nuclear regulatory activity. #sellafield
So... the digital world has nearly eliminated friction (ChatGPT writes essays, Meta's AI plays your friend). The physical world drowns in it (Newark airport, infrastructure crumbles). And for those who can afford it, friction becomes an optional aesthetic choice (West Village…
