Some personal/professional news: I'm launching "When the Facts Change - economics and politics in a fast-changing world". Click on the link in my X biography to read my first post. I'll obviously continue to write my weekly "Economics Agenda" column for the Telegraph, and co-present the "Planet Normal" podcast each week with the brilliant Allison Pearson I've been encouraged by lots of people, not least on X, to do more writing and broadcasting. So here goes .... "When the Facts Change" will initially be limited to written posts. But, as I find my feet, I'll add audio and video content too. So please check out my launch post via the link in my X biog and feel free to share this news. 🧵 1/2

We did it !! London to Paris in 24 hours ON A TANDEM Thanks so much to my dear friend Serge Kogan - who travelled from California to ride The Duchenne Dash with me Thanks to Duchenne UK - the brilliant parent-run charity that has now staged 14 Duchenne Dashes since 2013 - and which is working so hard to find treatments for this particularly nasty (and fatal) form of muscular dystrophy. And thanks to everyone who threw some money into the pot to sponsor Serge and myself, in our fund-raising efforts Every little helps - and it’s not too late !!

💥📺🎙️NEW "When The Facts Change" Ep. 26, with Liam Halligan In this episode, I interviews James Sheehan about the challenges and opportunities facing the UK's capital markets, especially AIM – the Alternative Investment Market, the junior tier of the London Stock Exchange. A seasoned finance professional, Sheehan is a strong advocate of AIM – and of the importance of small- and medium-sized UK firms. A Director of Capital Markets at Bowsprit Partners, he has been heavily involved in numerous AIM listings. Back in 2007 almost 1,700 companies were listed on AIM. As regulation and listing costs have increased, with tax advantages curtailed, that number has plummeted to little more than 600 today. This extended discussion explores the recent decline in the number of AIM listings, regulatory hurdles, and potential reforms to attract long-term investment. It also considers the relative decline in the share of domestic pension fund assets invested in British-based companies, along with the UK's fiscal fragility. Free 5-minute preview below - and link to full 40-minute interview in the next message. ⬇️⬇️ 🧵1/2

"I think there’s a very high chance we end up in some kind of fiscal crisis, with bond markets taking fright, if we don’t do this welfare form" "It would be like what happened in the 1970s" Having laid out proposals to slash welfare spending by a huge £50 billion a year, Reform Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick says unless welfare is radically overhauled, the UK faces a re-run of the 1976 IMF bailout.

"I think there’s a very high chance we end up in some kind of fiscal crisis, with bond markets taking fright, if we don’t do this welfare form ... it would be like what happened in the 1970s" Having laid out proposals to slash welfare spending by a huge £50 billion a year, Reform Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick says unless welfare is radically overhauled, the UK faces a re-run of the 1976 IMF bailout. In the clip below, I suggest that if Jenrick was serious about welfare reform, he would scrap the "triple lock" – which will soon add £15bn a year to the cost of the basic state pension. He disagrees.
