The media obsession with the timing of growth is very tiring. There is no ‘get growth now’ lever. As I wrote in the @NewStatesman yesterday “if the issue is long term structural stagnation, the answer is long term structural reform”.
New: Rachel Reeves insists to @BloombergTV her growth plan will begin to be felt before the next election, not just in the long-term Says she wants spades in the ground at Heathrow this parliament and says house-building will be the main short-term project

In the @NewStatesman I argue that this government must take investment in the Midlands and North as seriously as they have taken Heathrow, Oxford and Cambridge today. Only then will we get an economy with fairer, as well as higher growth.
Labour must prioritise better growth: Rachel Reeves needs to chart a course out of our broken economic model. 🖊️ @harry_qp

My thoughts on today's speech by @RachelReevesMP in @NewStatesman. Summary: a great start which shows the government is serious about tackling low growth - but more needed to make sure it's also fairer growth if they want to tackle rising populism.

There is a huge paradox in Trump’s approach to tech and globalisation. Automation has been a much bigger factor than the ‘China shock’ in hollowing out the US jobs market. Yet tech giants are in the inner circle and Trump continually champions tariffs.

This is a welcome move by @wesstreeting. As @IPPR research shows micromanagement from the top doesn’t work. It crowds out innovation and increases staff turnover - whilst too many targets lead to confusion and gaming.

Delighted @SebRees1 will be joining us. There is no bigger priority than getting the NHS back on its feet. Big need for new ideas which is @IPPR’s bread and butter!
✨Some personal news! In February, I will be joining the @IPPR as a principal research fellow and Head of Health. Couldn't be more excited to get going!

A useful corrective to the media debate about the budget and growth which has been largely “unconstrained by evidence”. Latest growth figures are the first following the budget (likely to be revised). And tax changes don’t come in until the new financial year (April) @KumarAshwin
🚨 | NEW BLOG: Over the past few days and weeks, there has been lots of rather histrionic commentary about the UK’s economic situation. In this blog, @KumarAshwin outlines why the doomsayers are being overly pessimistic.
