Whither uneven development? Ingredients for growth or the makings of an 'archipelago economy' (after Veltz) across England?
Only places with the appropriate capability should have powers devolved to them says Lord Jim O'Neill 💬👇

Top tune and what a voice, Paul
I can feel that taste for life slipping away And striking the lost chord i find nothing to say Someone told me,all dressed up and nowhere to go I should have that sinking feeling,my head hung low But this is my world today My world your living in everyday......

NEW SUBSTACK: What’s next for local government reorganisation? Is it over? Back to the drawing board? A period of ‘controlled retrenchment’? Or organised chaos? Those are the four scenarios I look at — and what they mean for English devolution. Link below.

If you needed proof that Big Audio Dynamite were (and are) untouchable ... Mick Jones and the crew detonate “E=MC²” live on Fallon during their 2011 reunion, underrated legends putting on a masterclass.

Growth everywhere is also theoretically impossible, unless there is a model of political economy out there, which I am unaware of
The Prime Minister’s ambition for ‘good growth in every postcode’ is laudable. After a prolonged period of weak productivity growth and pressure on living standards, government needs an economic strategy that visibly improves prospects across the country. The Prime Minister has repeatedly used the phrase, most recently arguing that government should create ‘the conditions for good growth in every postcode’. This morning, the Chancellor described it as ‘not just a slogan, but a test that we have set ourselves’. But taken literally, growth in every postcode is the wrong test.
