Economist Andrew Lilico casts a sharp eye over the Chancellor's first Spending Review — and finds it lacking. Beyond the rhetoric, the message is sobering: health spending is set to surge while almost every other department faces quiet, compounding cuts. The NHS will grow to dominate Britain's public finances — even as Rachel Reeves eyes new tax rises to make the numbers add up. So, what happens when the backlash begins?

What does chasing a wheel of cheese down a dangerously steep hill say about Britain — and the state? In this Despatch, James Price of the Adam Smith Institute finds wisdom in one of our most eccentric traditions: Gloucestershire's infamous cheese rolling.

This week's Despatch offers a sharp warning to the Conservative Party from inside the tent. Former Tory candidate William Wellesley argues that the answer to Reform UK's rise isn't mimicry — it's honesty. In a measured but damning critique, Wellesley calls out decades of spin, soundbites and shallow promises from across the political spectrum — and urges the Tories to break the cycle. Only by confronting hard truths, he argues, can the party survive and serve.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster. Go to capx.co to subscribe.

Karl Williams of the Centre for Policy Studies and economist Julian Jessop take a clear-eyed look at the politics and economics of migration. Two decades ago, the UK opened its doors to eastern Europe. A modest prediction of 13,000 arrivals became 1.5 million — a shift that continues to shape British politics. Now, with Reform UK on the rise, Labour is gambling that stricter immigration controls will steady the ship. But is it a calculated correction — or a political trap? Meanwhile, as Keir Starmer welcomes EU leaders to London, Downing Street promises a deal for growth, jobs and border security. But beyond the soundbites, what does a post-Brexit success story really look like?Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster. Go to capx.co to subscribe.

In this week's Despatch, Karl Williams of the Centre for Policy Studies unpacks Labour's long-awaited immigration white paper — and asks whether anything's really changed. From sky-high net migration targets to fudged visa reforms and a rebrand of the widely abused ‘shortage occupation' list, Labour's plans are long on rhetoric but risk being short on action. Worse still, the numbers show that even now, the UK's immigration model remains historically unprecedented, economically unsustainable, and politically combustible. Will Labour's technocratic tinkering bring about genuine reform — or is it just more of the same? This is a clear-eyed look at the promises, the policy and the political price of failure.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Harry Phibbs takes a scalpel to Britain's new free trade deal with India. Is it a triumph for post-Brexit Britain — slashing tariffs, boosting growth, and bringing down prices? Or does the small print on visas and taxes muddy the waters?

As Chancellor Rachel Reeves treads a delicate path in Washington, Britain finds itself caught between diplomacy and hard economics — will tariff relief be enough to steady the ship? Meanwhile, Apple's dramatic pivot to India signals just how deeply Trump's sweeping trade war is reshaping global business. Could a world less reliant on Beijing ultimately emerge stronger — or simply more fragmented? And with the IMF slashing global growth forecasts, are we witnessing the first signs of a smaller, slower, more isolated future? CapX's deputy editor Joseph Dinnage is joined by James Boys from UCL and commentator Matthew Stadlen to map the risks, the opportunities, and the new world order taking shape. Hosted on Acast.

A dramatic Saturday recall of Parliament delivers a last-minute reprieve for British Steel — but is it a genuine industrial strategy, or just another short-term fix? Meanwhile in Washington, President Trump promised to revive American manufacturing. But can you really rebuild the past — or is this economic cosplay doomed to fail? Broadcaster Albie Amankona and the IEA's Daniel Freeman join CapX's Marc Sidwell to ask a vital question — can Britain resist the noise and rediscover the quiet power of centre-right pragmatism?

What happens when the world's biggest economy slams the brakes on global trade? In just weeks, Donald Trump's tariff blitz has shattered decades of US-led liberalisation — and the fallout is only just beginning. As prices creep higher and wallets tighten, will the political backlash bite harder than the economic one? And in the UK, could fiscal fear turn into fiscal flair? CapX editor Marc Sidwell is joined by the IEA's Reem Ibrahim and Dominic Pino of the National Review Institute to explore whether this era of upheaval might just offer the chance to rewrite the economic rulebook.

As the world shifts and alliances evolve, could a partnership between Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK form a Fourth Global Power? While CANZUK wouldn't rival the US militarily, its collective strength would command the kind of respect that Washington—especially under leaders like Trump—reserves for serious players. With global instability on the rise, the economist Andrew Lilico asks whether it's time to make this alliance official.

It's hot in the Mediterranean and James and Toby discuss the recent forest fires in Greece and whether climate change or arsonists are to blame. This triggers an argument (From these two? Really?) about whether there are enough honest journalists left to expose such wrongdoing and that, in turn, leads to a heated discussion about whether the journalist Ross Clark is a genuine climate contrarian because concedes that the world has got a little bit warmer in the past 150 years.We then segue into a discussion of their holidays this year, both those they've already had and those they are planning, with James saying he may go to Amsterdam which leads to agreement that cannabis should probably not be legalised.Finally, in Culture Corner, James discusses the new University Challenge, as well as having almost finished Anna Karenina – which he declares the best novel he's ever read – while Toby gives a lukewarm review to Hijack.Opening sound this week is CapX editor discussing Michael Gove's backtracking on Net Zero.
