If you’re ever looking for a lunch spot in Barcelona, can highly recommend Lanto lantorestaurant.com. The menu is fantastic (and only €20 for three courses including a drink). Very grateful to my @whatworksgrowth.bsky.social colleague who suggested it.

10x followers in a week [thanks]. Timeline close to critical mass on UK (economic) policy. Starter packs help [thanks, again]. I'd love a list of policy people and academics that are 'missing' but active on the other place, to try to nudge them skywards [realism needed here, obvs].
