#Budget day is on Wednesday - does the UK need to invest more money in the NHS? @teraallas.bsky.social provides her expertise on the latest Productivity Puzzles ep.: podfollow.com/productivity...
The ep. also features @econstevem.bsky.social & Louise Hellem, alongside host @bartvanark.bsky.social.
I think this broad idea that we need to spend more on the NHS is misleading and is potentially quite dangerous ... I think it's about the mix of how we spend the money, not adding more money.

Reducing uncertainty should be a core aim of next week's Budget. @econstevem.bsky.social from @niesrorg.bsky.social is on the latest ep. of Productivity Puzzles, w/ @bartvanark.bsky.social, Louise Hellem (CBI) & @teraallas.bsky.social from @alliancembs.bsky.social: podfollow.com/productivity...
We are very much hoping that this forthcoming Budget can actually reduce the amount of uncertainty that we've seen of late.

How might the Budget impact the productive output of the UK? Long-term planning can help the business environment, says @teraallas.bsky.social on the new episode of Productivity Puzzles: podfollow.com/productivity...

If there's a credible long-term plan to raise the productive output of the country, then that seeps into the tone of the business environment.

A fantastic afternoon yesterday with students from Xaverian College as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences.

It was great to welcome the students to TPI headquarters at AMBS and speak to them about their thoughts on topics such as politics, society and the environment.
