People should pay more into their pensions. There is a simple way to make that happen. But politicians don't feel under any pressure to do it. My thoughts on why sensible, necessary increases in minimum pension contributions aren't happening. spectator.co.uk/article/the-pe…

People in their 50s are spending their pension pots on new kitchens, holidays and paying off their debts. That means they can't use the money to support themselves in later life. Ten years on, is it time to revisit pension freedoms? spectator.co.uk/article/a-pens…

"Defined pension decumulation" is hardly a phrase to get politicians or voters excited. But sooner or later, MPs will need to revisit pension freedoms and a system that leaves voters making near-impossible financial decisions alone. spectator.co.uk/article/a-pens…
Not a football fan but I’ll listen to this anyway, because Mehreen is mesmerically brilliant on football. (Still remember a 2014 DT piece on Pirlo, “greatest human man”)

Britain is too sick to work - #Budget2024 analysis by the OBR shows that poor physical and mental health are now a serious drag on the U.K. economy. Improving the nation’s health should be an economic priority, for policymakers and businesses alike. spectator.co.uk/article/britai…

When people say Labour hasn't made any big, firm promises, ignore them. The pledge of 1.5m new houses in 5 years is huge - in importance, ambition and difficulty. This chart, from my Apella colleague Dr Mike Granleese, shows the scale of the challenge. linkedin.com/posts/dr-mike-…
A note of praise for @BackstoryLdn's nonfiction book club. A top idea. One book a month. Everyone in the club gets the book, then meets the author over Zoom, ask qs etc. I did an event last night for The Moth and the Mountain. Searching questions. Convivial atmosphere. Huge fun.
The nanny state is coming. Look busy. Public opinion and fiscal need will push British policymakers towards greater intervention over food and drink. linkedin.com/posts/james-ki…

@jameskirkup I think I may have been single-handedly responsible for most of that since my 12 year old showed an interest.
I've been thinking a lot about this thoughtful @BBCNewsnight piece by @BenChu_ from earlier in the week I wanted to share a few reflections on the issues it explored from many years working in this space, including within the DWP & in frontline NHS mental health services...🧵
@ben Chu explores how deteriorating mental health among young people is a complex issue and what implications it has on the economy and public finances. #Newsnight
I’m a man without a party. I believe the record is clear that America has done far more good than harm to the world. I believe we need to be fully honest about America’s many mistakes and transgressions.
Key result from the article is that culture war issues can move vote choice as much as traditional left-right/lib-auth issues.
I've posted an article on SSRN where I: - Try and define what a culture war issue actually is (which can be used in different contexts) - Run a vote choice conjoint to see how important culture war issues are relative to long-standing issues for voters. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Respecting the rule of law means respecting the impartial judgments of our independent courts. Judges apply the law without fear or favour - a longstanding principle of our democratic constitution. 1/2

Whoop whoop Westminster Accounts - a collaboration between Sky News and Tortoise - has won the Hugh Cudlipp award for investigative journalism at the London Press Club Awards
Winner of the Cudlipp Award for investigative journalism is Sky News and Tortoise Media for the Westminster Accounts.
1. The intensive parenting revolution is not remotely an American-specific phenomenon. It’s happening ~everywhere across Europe 2. Are French mothers the only parent category in the OECD spending less time with their kids than they did 60 years ago?
2023 study: “Our thesis is that a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults."
Got Bing image creator to generate some designs for a Walhalla-style Northumbrian Pantheon that would house statues of Grace Darling, George Stephenson, Dan Burn etc.
As for the politics, I’m pretty confident that of all the things Team Starmer might struggle to land, I think they’ll be ok with “millionaire’s tax cut”
@SP_Duckworth @BusLewton @jameskirkup It’s also why the issue itself has been ignored/dismissed for so long, leading to a predictable boiling point. Mostly male journalists in the lobby thought this was a <wafts hand> ‘weird women’s thing’ and not *proper* politics.

In 2021/22, more than one in five 16-year old girls were in contact with NHS mental health services (incl learning disabilities and autism services). This is a near doubling of the rate just four years earlier, and it’s not just about Covid, this trend started before. (4/6)
