POPULARITY
Nick Cohen chats to Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker - journalist, columnist, commentator and playwright - about the appalling state of British journalism and how our news agenda is being driven by an increasing deranged, obsessive and extremist Tory press, mainly doing the bidding of their creepy billionaire non-dom proprietors.Brexit, Trussonomics, Boris Johnson and his buffoonistas, Austerity - you name it, there wasn't a terrible idea or person from the radicalised right in recent years that failed to enjoy the 100% backing of the Tory press. Now, its hacks serve up nothing burgers followed by trifles in frenzied attempts to smear and destroy the new Labour government.Tim harks back to a relatively sane age not so long ago when newspapers tried to educate its readers about the world around them, and occasionally expose wrong doing. These were the days when news was something someone somewhere did not revealed and the rest was advertising. But journalism has changed radically in recent times - and not for the better - thanks mainly to social media destroying mainstream media models and advertising streams. Alongside that, political phenomena from Brexit to immigration have helped drive The Tory press to new heights of lunacy. Increasingly, media funds go to platforming radicalised right media blowhards, extremist politics, and gobby know-nothing weirdos from mysterious think tanks funded by dark money.The aristocrats of journalism were once reporters who investigated wrong doing and broke stories. Now the money goes increasingly to the radical right commentators whose extremism and opportunism have helped them harangue and con the country into one disaster after another. What's worse, the MSM like the BBC repeatedly give these media charlatans airtime.Read Tim Walker's Substack column A Point of View.Nick Cohen's @NichCohen4 regular Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond is another must-read.

For this episode, I am joined by Jim Leaviss, one of the UK's leading bond fund managers and the voice behind the podcast Uncle Jim's World of Bonds. I subscribe to a lot of podcasts, but there aren't many that I always listen to. However, Uncle Jim's World of Bonds is always a must-listen to. It's both entertaining and informative. It is typically just 10 minutes long and contains some real nuggets covering macroeconomics, financial markets, politics, and the long-term drivers impacting the world all investors inhabit. We recorded this chat on July 1st, and quite a lot has happened since then. Obviously, we have had elections in the UK and France and the advancement of England and France to the semifinals of Euro 24. In this episode, Jim discusses why he thinks bonds are so interesting and important and what we, as investors, can learn from them. He also discusses Trussonomics, the implications of French political instability, the potential impact of an unwinding of Japan's carry trade, what to know about credit spreads, and how they might inform equity markets. Jim has been a fund manager at M&G for 27 years, most recently as CIO for fixed income. Since we recorded this episode, Jim has announced his departure later this year to study art history. I very much hope he can also find the time to keep up his podcasting, maybe interspersing yield curve analysis with a view on the modern relevance of German expressionism from the inter-war period. I must remind you that none of what you hear is investment advice, it is all just the personal views of the people talking and does not represent the views of any organisation mentioned in this podcast. Please enjoy my conversation with Uncle Jim about his world of bonds. Made possible by Progressive Equity.
@NickCohen4 and Guardian political columnist @rafaelbehr discuss the potential for an extinction-level general election result for the Tories on July 4th.Time and events seem to have caught up with the Conservative Party at last as they face retribution at the hands of an exasperated electorate after 14 years of chaos and 5 prime ministers, plus policy disaster after policy disaster including Brexit, Austerity, the bungling of Covid, the Tufton Street insanity of "Trussonomics", turds in rivers and seas and the endless Rwanda/immigration fiasco. And then there is the serial buffoonery and malfeasance of Boris Johnson.Rafael and Nick discuss how the Conservatives find themselves beached on political territory between the rabid right they tried and failed to appease and the centre ground where people have become increasingly repelled by Tory incompetence and hard right, populist antics. E.g. Tories may boast of "getting brexit done" but scarcely of brexit itself.Rafael is one of the Guardian's leading columnists and observers of the political scene. Rafael's book - "Politics - A Survivor's Guide" is published by Atlantic.Don't forget to read Nick's regular Substack column Writing from London.Support the Show.Listen to The Lowdown from Nick Cohen for in-depth analysis of the issues and events that shape our lives and futures.

There have been many reasons over recent years for investors to be ‘out of love' with the UK; Brexit, political uncertainty, pandemic, Ukraine, Trussonomics and the perception of worse inflation & economic performance for the UK to name a handful. But, has the depressed sentiment been overdone? In this podcast the team discuss that with many of these factors firmly in the rear-view mirror, and with interest rates potentially close to their peak and UK economic growth recently being revised upwards, could the glass actually be half-full, rather than the pessimistic alternative?
Gilts underperformed significantly last week on higher borrowing expectations. Don't worry though - it wasn't as bad as the Trussonomics sell-off.

EPISODE SUMMARY This week we ask: What does the process of Brexit tell us about the role of the UK's parliament and whether it needs reform? EPISODE NOTES The last seven years in British politics have been tempestuous. The turmoil has had multiple causes: Covid, Putin's attack on Ukraine, and Trussonomics among them. But the politics of much of the period has been dominated by Brexit: by a referendum on an ever so simple question, followed by years of wrangling over what the question meant and how the answer that voters gave to it should be interpreted and implemented. Much of that contest took place in parliament. Meaningful voters, indicative votes, the Brady amendment, the Malthouse compromise, the Cooper–Letwin Bill and the legality or otherwise of prorogation – all became the stuff of prime-time television. So what should we make of that period? And what can we learn from it – about how parliament and our constitution work, and about how they should work? Well a new book recently published by Oxford University Press explores all these questions and many more. It's called The Parliamentary Battle over Brexit. And its authors join me now. They are Meg Russell (Director of the UCL Constitution Unit and Professor of British and Comparative Politics in the UCL Department of Political Science) and Lisa James (Research Fellow at the Constitution Unit).

Liz Truss thought she had two years to save the economy, but her mini-budget caused it all to blow up in less than two months. We're now a year on from her chaotic 49 day premiership, but there are groups of economists and politicians who think her free-market growth strategy was right and it's only a matter of time before it makes a comeback.Read The Trussites are plotting their comeback: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/conservatives/2023/09/the-trussites-are-plotting-their-comebackDownload the New Statesman app:iOS: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/new-statesman-magazine/id610498525Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.progressivemediagroup.newstatesman&hl=en_GB&gl=USSubscribe to the New Statesman from £1 per week:https://newstatesman.com/podcastofferSign up to our weekly Saturday Read emailhttps://saturdayread.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

In this latest Today's Conveyancer podcast host David Opie welcomes Ben Robinson and Rob Gurney on to discuss the latest Landmark Property Trends Report. Ben is the Managing Director of Landmark Estate Agency Services, and Rob is the Managing Director of Ochresoft; both well placed to comment on the data which provides insight into 4 key property market metricsListingsSold Subject to ContractSearches OrderedCompletionsThe Property Trends Report was first published in 2021 and is now providing analysis on the health of the market each quarter. The data is drawn from Landmark's own business, extrapolated to the entire market. The report uses 2019 as the benchmark for comparison based on it being pre-COVID and the last "normal" year for the property market. Ben and Rob discuss the latest report, which covers Q1 2023 for England & Wales, and Scotland, and provides detailed analysis of the last 12 months of activity in the market. March 2023 saw the return of new listings to above 2019 volumes for the first time since before the disastrous mini-budget in October 2022. And while this is a promising sign for the market, the other metrics remain some way below 2019 levels as the full effect of "Trussonomics" has played out over the last 6 months; SSTC remains some 22% below 2019 levels, and completions nearly 30% below. There is cause for optimism say Ben and Rob as stability returns to the market, with listings, and confidence on the up. Listen in to hear their analysis in full. The next Property Trends Report will be published at the end of Q2 2023; lookout for further discussion and analysis.

Former No10 economic adviser Giles Wilkes joins the podcast to discuss the budget, Trussonomics, austerity, "boomsters vs doomsters" and much much more.
Britain is all but in recession. We're far less productive than other European countries, and take the industries that do well for granted. Trussonomics was one idea to boost growth — and we all know how that turned out. But if cutting taxes isn't the solution to our problems, what is? Greg Thwaites from the Resolution Foundation joins Ros Taylor in the Bunker to find out. “Most of the growth that we've had in the economy hasn't come from people being more productive, it's from people doing more work.” “What the average UK worker can produce in an hour, it takes the average French or German or US worker ten minutes less to produce.” “You can liken the UK to a passenger jet that's flying on one engine: it's not safe.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Ros Taylor.

With the PM and his party on the back foot – have they just given up? Our panel picks apart Sunak's dither and delay in his sacking of Nadhim Zahawi. Plus, are we seeing a new, even more hostile, hostile environment? And we forcefully quit the anti-growth coalition as we discuss alternatives to Trussonomics. This week's guest is Rachel Cunliffe, senior associate editor at New Statesman. “If Rishi Sunak didn't know about this, what is the point of ministerial vetting processes? What is the point of saying you're going to bring integrity back to Government?” – Rachel Cunliffe “Even an experienced PM would struggle to put the box in what Johnson is doing.” – Ian Dunt “All of the things you need to fix the problems that we have takes much longer than Sunak has.” – Ian Dunt “The Tories have a talent pool problem and an exhaustion problem. That is really problematic because we need the best Government we can to weather the storm.” – Miatta Fahnbulleh www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Ian Dunt and Miatta Fahnbulleh.

On this year's last episode of the money and markets podcast Dan Coatsworth, Danni Hewson, Laura Suter and Laith Khalaf share their thoughts about the year's pivotal moments from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to “Trussonomics” and why mega caps like Amazon and Apple have lost you money this year. They also discuss the latest inflation figures on both sides of the Atlantic, assess how markets have reacted plus how a winter of strike action in the UK is affecting companies like Moonpig and discuss the latest trading updates from Frasers Group, Zara owner Inditex and the world's biggest holiday company TUI. With 2023 hurtling towards us we hear from a host of fund managers about their picks for the new year, plus Laith digs into AJ Bell's latest manager vs machine data and finds that the year's volatility has actually put the machine in front. And Laura talks interest rate rises and the scammers out to get you this Christmas.
The relationship between politicians and economists has always been complicated, and it has become particularly rocky in Britain over the last decade. Divisions during the Brexit referendum prompted Michael Gove to quip that Britain had ‘had enough of experts' while a key pillar of Trussonomics was challenging existing economic institutions from the Treasury to the Bank of England and OBR. But technocrats remain a dominant force in economic policy making, and as politicians seek to overturn the UK's recent record of economic stagnation the relationship between these two disciplines is as important as ever. Have politicians and economists lost faith in each other, or is the picture more nuanced? What are the pros and cons of delegating more economic policy decision-making to experts? And how can politicians better improve voters' understanding of the economy, and respond to voters' economic concerns? The Resolution Foundation together with Political Quarterly are hosting an event to mark the publication of a new book Politicians and economic experts: the limits of technocracy by Anna Killick to debate and answer these questions. Joining Anna will be two of the leading economic thinkers in UK politics – David Gauke and Yvette Cooper, both of whom have served as Chief Treasury Secretaries and Work and Pensions Secretaries – to discuss how politicians can do economics better.

It's been one month since Rishi Sunak became prime minister of the United Kingdom and so he's now just three weeks off lasting longer at Number 10 than Liz Truss did. After the disaster of the mini budget, Sunak has been the safe pair of economic hands needed to calm things down, reassure the markets and try to get the Conservatives back on track after disastrous poll numbers. But how long can the new prime minister keep the country and his party calm and quiet? In this episode, our political editor Gary Gibbon looks at the first few weeks of the reign of Rishi and whether his autumn statement will be enough to shore up support and ensure the Conservatives aren't thumped at the next election.

Steve talks with Thomas Fazi, journalist/writer/translator/socialist. Many of us know him as co-author, with Bill Mitchell, of Reclaiming the State: A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World.A few weeks ago, we had an episode entitled Trussonomics. It was recorded a few weeks after Liz became Prime Minister, and mere days before she got the boot, making her the shortest-serving PM in UK history. Fazi has a different take on the events leading up to Truss's removal, and spends much of the first half of this interview breaking it down. Truss is a libertarian free market conservative, so why was she such a threat? The mainstream narrative—left, center, and right—had it that her budgetary package spooked the markets so they forced her out.Truss's real crime? She understood government finance. As listeners to this podcast know, deficit spending did not cause the current inflation. Fazi talks about the actual causes and makes the case that the markets didn't oust Truss; the Bank of England did.“...In currency issuing countries, you don't usually see such overt tensions between central banks and government. Even though most central banks are formally independent, they tend to support whatever budgetary or fiscal policy the government decides to pursue. So, what transpired in the UK context was actually quite extraordinary because it was, I think, a rare instance of the central bank of a currency issuing country deliberately acting to sabotage a government.”Fazi lays out the ways in which austerity can now be justified in the UK, warding off the threat of a potentially strengthened working class. There are many layers to this story.The second half of the episode shifts the focus to global geopolitics and the US stance against China and Russia.“This isn't just US versus Russia and a few proxy countries. This new Cold War is a completely different one than the old one. It's one-way. The US is a declining power with declining influence over the rest of the world, where most of the world isn't following the US, for example, with regards to its policies against Russia and China. The US sphere of influence now is pretty much limited to Europe and Australia and New Zealand.”The US ruling class is the most powerful and dangerous in all of human history. The structural changes of the global economy have brought us into a multi-polar world. It's just a reality that the US elites don't seem ready to accept.Thomas Fazi is a “journalist/writer/translator/socialist.” who lives in Italy. He is the co-director of Standing Army (2010), an award-winning feature-length documentary on US military bases featuring Gore Vidal and Noam Chomsky; and the author of The Battle for Europe: How an Elite Hijacked a Continent – and How We Can Take It Back (2014) and Reclaiming the State: A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World (co-authored with Bill Mitchell, 2017). His articles have appeared in numerous online and printed publications. Find links to his articles on his Substack.@battleforeurope on Twitter
Our guest this week is one of a kind. A truly polymathic personality, there's not much Tyler Cowen doesn't have a well informed view on, from the merits of Bradford curry houses to the future of cryptocurrencies and the fate of Trussonomics. That breadth of interest is evident from his prolific writing on his Marginal Revolution blog, in the pages of various newspapers and in the 20-odd books he's written in the last three decades or so. Tyler is also an avowed friend of the free market ,as Professor of Economics at George Mason University where he is chair and faculty director of the Mercatus Center. His latest book, co-authored with Daniel Gross, is Talent: How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World. As Tyler explains on the podcast, it's essentially a one-stop shop for companies and organisations looking to zero in on the best possible employees. As you would imagine with Tyler, our discussion was as wide-ranging and entertaining as the man himself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dass Elon Musk den Kurznachrichtendienst Twitter übernommen hat, stört die Ökonomin und Publizistin Karen Horn. Sie überlegt sich, ob sie den Kurznachrichtendienst weiter nutzen will. Einfach wäre ein Verzicht aber nicht, meint sie in der Wirtschaftswoche. Weitere Themen in der Wirtschaftswoche: - Der neue britische Premier und wie schnell er die Trussonomics ungeschehen gemacht - Die neue Strategie der Credit Suisse und ob das gut kommt mit den Investoren aus Nahost. - Die Ansagen des neuen (und alten) chinesischen Staats- und Parteichefs und wie die Schweiz damit umgehen sollte
British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned last week after a mere 45 days in office. Truss, disgraced by the consequences of her own economic prescriptions, had the shortest term of any British prime minister in history.

** Check out the transcript for this and every episode of Macro N Cheese at the https://realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese-podcast/ (Real Progressives website). Grumbine: I follow a lot of Brits on Twitter, and not just regular rank and file activists, but a lot of the actual economists. And the folks that are considered left, very strongly remind me of neoliberals.Wilson: Because they are. [laughter] What we have, you see, is this wonderful thing called the Oxford degree in philosophy, politics and economics [PPE]. And what happens is, when they graduate from that, there's a Sorting Hat, and it just puts them in either the Labor Party or the Tory Party, depending upon what the Sorting Hat thinks. They're all exactly the same. They're all the same graduates, they're all the same set of people. The economists are like that, too. They just get a Sorting Hat when they get the degree, I swear to God. Here in the US, we've been watching the administration scramble to deal with inflation. That chaos is nothing compared to what's going on in the UK. They are soon to be on their fifth prime minister in six years. (As a point of reference, Maggie Thatcher was PM for 13 years; they don't have term limits.) When Steve asked Neil Wilson to come on the podcast to talk about Liz Truss, he must have assumed she would last longer than six weeks! Oh well. It's still an informative episode. As we well know, the MMT lens is useful regardless of economic conditions. Neil talks to Steve about the political lessons he has learned from the Tory's attempt at handling of the economy. He and Steve talk about the EU and Brexit, and how the war in Ukraine is affecting the energy situation in the UK and Europe. Neil Wilson is an associate member of the Gower Initiative for Modern Money Studies in London, a co-author of "An accounting model of the UK Exchequer" and a co-editor and contributor to the forthcoming book "Modern Monetary Theory: Key Insights, Leading Thinkers"

We’ll also dissect the corporate strategies for price hikes, follow the money in midterm elections and weigh infrastructure improvement options for cash-strapped towns.

On Trussonomics. [Patreon Exclusive] Having stumbled upon a successful recipe under Boris Johnson which would see greater state intervention, Britain's Tories then pivoted to a much more pro-market approach. But the markets haven't liked it – they've hated it. What does this say about neoliberalism and what the new orthodoxy is? Why did markets react so badly against a budget that featured things they normally like, such as lower rates of corporate taxes? And does this mean the market's authority has been restored, but under a new guise?

Kanye West has agreed to buy Parler, a conservative social media platform following Instagram & Twitter banning him from using their platforms last week over antisemitic posts. What do we know/need to know about Parler? It's one of many right-wing-friendly social media platforms to emerge in the Donald Trump era. We question what entertainment or debatable content stream could ever trickle from a social media platform that welcomes an audience with merely one political belief and ideology alongside others far more open and unbiased. Netflix will charge $6.99 a month for a new ad-supported subscription starting November 3rd in the U.S. If this isn't something we'd invest in, we ask why? Apple's new AR/VR headset will include iris scanning biometrics to switch user accounts and authenticate payments just like the iPhone. Retailing at more than double the cost of Mark Zuckerberg's Meta headset, will Apple lead against the creator of the metaverse experience on immersive hardware? Liz Truss' ‘trickle-down economics' is dead. Faith in UK politics falls again, with the nation feeling more de ja vu. As well as this, there's an obvious comparison and lack of trust in Truss from the past of UK female political personalities.

As Liz Truss considers another humiliating budget U-turn, host Jack Blanchard looks back at the U.K.'s infamous 1972 'Dash for Growth' budget — when another Tory Chancellor announced unfunded tax cuts and sent inflation through the roof — and considers the parallels with Truss' chaotic first month as prime minister.Historians Duncan Needham and Nick Thomas-Symonds explain the backdrop to that 1970s meltdown, while economists Paul Johnson, Gerard Lyons and Soumaya Keynes consider what's gone wrong in the U.K. economy today.

Trussonomics cancelled?
BBC reports that British economic policy faced some thinly-veiled criticism by other G7 finance ministers at the crucial meeting of major economies at the IMF.While the UK was not identified by name, multiple participants at the round table, the debut of UK Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, raised their concerns about countries making unfunded tax cuts that threatened financial stability, at a delicate time, a clear reference to Britain.A G7 minister said privately that the concern was really about how the UK had doubled down even after the clear financial stability implication, and that explanations would be sought.The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had already said publicly on the sidelines of the IMF conference that she was "watching UK developments closely.

On 23 September 2022, the UK's new prime minister and her chancellor delivered their explosive “mini-Budget”, cutting taxes for the richest in society and increasing government borrowing. Global markets were alarmed – but should the reality of Trussonomics have taken anyone by surprise? In this reported long read, the New Statesman's writer at large Jeremy Cliffe looks at the ideas, institutions and thinkers who have shaped Truss's politics for decades, from a society of free-market thinkers who gathered at Lake Geneva in 1947, to today's libertarian think tanks in Massachusetts Avenue, Washington DC, and Tufton Street, London (where many of the current cabinet have worked). Cliffe talks to those who have followed Truss's rise most closely, and who detect the influence of Thatcher, Reagan and even Khrushchev in her thinking. But is her government now too radical even for her former colleagues? And where will a prime minister who some believe “actually wants to destabilise things” go next?

After the extraordinary intervention from the Bank of England to buy long-dated government bonds on Wednesday, Prime Minister Liz Truss has insisted her policies are "the right plan" for the UK. Bloomberg's Stephanie Flanders, Philip Aldrick and Valerie Tytel join Caroline Hepker and Stephen Carroll to discuss the political, economic and market implications of the government's actions - and the mounting challenges facing Liz Truss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The last few days have seen a radical reshaping of the Government's economic policy and a radical reaction from financial markets. Out have gone both Treasury orthodoxy and the legacy of the Johnson premiership, and in are lower taxes, higher borrowing – and higher borrowing costs as spooked markets respond. Will this new strategy boost growth in the short- and medium-term? What does market turmoil mean for the Bank of England and Treasury – which has a deadline of 23rd November to explain how the public finances will be set on an sustainable footing? Are more tax cuts to come, or are spending cuts more likely? The Resolution Foundation is hosting an event to debate and discuss these questions. Following a presentation of the Foundation's analysis, we will hear from leading experts on what might happen next amid a new era for economic policy making.

Die britischen Finanzmärkte sind erheblich unter Druck geraten. Außerdem sprechen wir über den Ausblick für Italien nach der Wahl und über die Situation am Gasmarkt. – Seit die neue Premierministerin Liz Truss große Steuersenkungen angekündigt hat, sind die Märkte im Vereinigten Königreich in Unruhe. Ist die Reaktion der Märkte übertrieben? – Das renommierte National Institute of Economic and Social Research prognostizierte kürzlich ein Haushaltsdefizit von 8 % im Fiskaljahr 2022/2023. Das würde sich nur finanzieren lassen, wenn das Schatzamt 80 % mehr an neuen Staatsanleihen herausgibt als noch im April geplant. Wie ist das einzuordnen? Und was müsste die Regierung tun, um die Sorgen um den Staatshaushalt zumindest etwas einzugrenzen? Welche Rolle spielt bei all dem der Brexit? Und was sind die Kernpunkte der Trussonomics? – Die Bank of England hat reagiert und kurzfristig neue Anleihekäufe angekündigt. Wie ist dies einzuschätzen? Was heißt die neue Lage für die Zinspolitik? – Bei der Wahl in Italien am vergangenen Sonntag haben rechte Parteien eine Mehrheit im Parlament gewonnen. Stärkste Kraft wurde wie erwartet Giorgia Meloni mit der Partei Fratelli D'Italia. Was bedeutet dies für Italien und für Europa? – Zum Schluss erneut das Thema Gas: Die Erdgaspreise schwanken heftig, sind aber insgesamt in den letzten beiden Wochen etwas gefallen. Entspannt sich die Lage, oder war das angesichts des Angriffs auf die Ostseepipelines nur eine Verschnaufpause?

But do our co-pilots think she's got what it takes?Co-pilot Halligan predicts Truss will grow into the role, but warns she will have to be a 'shape-shifter' in order to tackle the toughest in-tray of any peace-time PM. Allison wasn't blown away by Truss' debut speech, comparing her performance to that of a nervous head girl, but thought her first showing at PMQs was a vast improvement.Both our co-pilots agree Truss should ditch her notes and stick to speaking off the cuff in future.Also entering the sanctuary of sweet reason this week is journalist and General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Toby Young, who shares his disappointment at the fall of the Johnson premiership and his thoughts on the new Truss cabinet.
