Factcheck: 16 misleading myths about solar power ✍️ @Josh_Gabbatiss @MollyLempriere 🎨 @tomoprater @joejgoodman Tom Pearson Read here: buff.ly/D1TjpR3
Some argue the UK would be better off with less regulation and higher CEO pay. But such a model leads to higher inequality and lower living standards for many. This is why we’re calling for maximum CEO to worker pay ratios of 10:1. Sign our petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/it-s…
Telling that its the manufacturing sector that is driving lower growth in the UK but @EdConwaySky isn't drawing enough attention to Trump's tariff war - the global uncertainty is terrible for UK manufacturers

Very pleased to see my analysis on UK productivity growth picked up by the FT this morning. Their piece highlights the uncertainty around the OBR’s productivity forecast — and how stark the fiscal implications could be at the Budget. A few of my reflections below 👇

Strange how there's only wall to wall coverage when there's a spike in bond yields, where's the wall-to-wall coverage of the UK's falling borrowing costs? Or maybe day-to-day moves in financial markets don't actually mean that much🤔

Life comes at you fast when you're a Telegraph reader....
Oh no, overcapacity 😫
Really wild that UK bank shares are down by 3-4% this morning, apparently in response to my new report! Worth keeping in mind that share prices were up 60-140% since interest rates increased. To some degree thanks to the taxpayer subsidy, which we're proposing to reverse.
💷 | NEW REPORT: Taxpayers are losing £22 billion a year through a flawed Bank of England quantitative easing policy. In this report, @carsjung sets out his plan to claw this back. ippr.org/articles/fixin…
Half of the increase in your energy bills is due to the cost of gas. Moving from fossil fuels to renewables is the simplest way to lower bills. 📻 @joshemden on @bbc5live 👇
Reform is swinging behind the pronatalist movement. This is a growing trend on the right - putting so-called "family values" back on the agenda But the idea that we can address an ageing population through pronatalism just isn't backed up by evidence politico.eu/article/reform…
1/Productivity really matters - strong growth allows us to produce more, collecting extra tax. Today's data still looks weak, seemingly vindicating calls for a costly OBR downgrade - but closer assessment reveals a strong argument for keeping steady.
I used to take it for granted that the OBR will downgrade its productivity forecast in the autumn, leading to a chunky fiscal contraction. But the talented @WillEllisEcon looked into the data and convinced me otherwise. Evidence base is really not as clear cut as some suggest.

💰 NEW BLOG | The OBR is facing pressure to slash its productivity forecast this autumn, risking up to a £44 billion hole in the public finances. But the case isn’t strong enough yet. Our latest blog explains why 👇ippr.org/articles/navig…
UK growth has beaten gloomy forecasts 📈 Tariffs have dented manufacturing, but other sectors are powering ahead. With a solid industrial strategy, an investment-focused Budget coming, and stable policy, the UK’s outlook is bright.
