This report is that rare thing, whereby you want every politician, and most importantly the current government, to read it and take it on board. If ever they say something contrary, they should be asked to explain why they disagree with this analysis. Brilliant work - thanks.
Delighted to publish this personal essay by me and John: Getting Britain out of the hole.
We wanted to write something quite readable that covers the big picture of the UK’s economic struggles. Hopefully we’ve managed at least one of those!

Yesterday, we put out a report on the most important issues to voters.
We know that immigration now tops the traditional most important issues question (see below from @yougov.co.uk).
But that doesn't tell the full story.
Here is a rundown of the experiments we did to test this out (A THREAD):

Why should we switch 2p of tax from National Insurance to Income Tax? ⤵️
Income Tax raises more money and spreads the burden more fairly. The switch would raise £6 billion, and leave the vast majority of payslips unaffected.

“Labour is losing more voters to the Greens and the Lib Dems than it is losing to Reform, not least because many are appalled at Labour’s cowardice on immigration—at seeing the government essentially concede the argument to Reform and the newly extremist Conservatives without even trying to fight.”
Katie Lam’s immigration panic is built on lies
As a Tory proposes the harshest migration policy since Idi Amin’s, data shows the public doesn't understand the numbers - thanks to politicians too venal or timid to tell the truth

Katie Lam, the shadow home secretary saying legal migrants need to be deported (The Times) will be seen by many as the most racist comment we’ve heard in recent years. Why this isn’t headline news is scandalous. Which will translate to many as acceptance and agreement. Britain needs to get a grip.
