Quoted in the @ObserverUK the Faculty's Professor @jagjit_chadha argues that the ONS has made a decision to focus on fast indicators, such as retail or footfall, as a way of getting it more noticed by policymakers. econ.cam.ac.uk/media-mentions…
The deep problems at the @ONS are well summarised by @simonbriscoe and @barneymac. Enjoyed talking to them as the failure is a classic example of over-reach. @CamEcon @econromesh @EconSteveM observer.co.uk/news/business/…
.@dsmitheconomics nails it in this piece on our mounting debt problems. Note the corollary that the fiscal rules are not fit for purpose follows so clearly. @CamEcon @EconSteveM
My Sunday Times piece is a gloomy one: UK government debt is on an unsustainable trajectory and today’s politicians seem unwilling or unable to do anything to stop it: The UK can’t keep muddling through a massive increase in debt thetimes.com/article/eb5125…

Simply magical to have so much Satie on @BBCRadio3. I started listening to him while doing my O-levels, eons ago. He, Ravel, Poulenc and Debussy have become friends for life.
1st July is the centenary of the death of one of music’s greatest eccentrics: Erik Satie. We mark his legacy all weekend @BBCRadio3: from Satie-Day Morning, to Record Review, to Satie’s film music on Sound of Cinema and his influence on prog rock and pop in our Sunday Feature.

This summarises work by @jagjit_chadha Leah Downey @AtifRMian
The difference between Claude and Chat is stark
Problem is primarily due to QE introduction - 'helicopter money'. I'd solve the legacy of this terrible innovation by jacking up QT. And when there is no QE left embed in MPC rules that they cannot resort to this as monetary policy tool. So can focus on prudence @jagjit_chadha
Given UK's historic proneness to inflation I'd stick to single target. & stress - particularly to MPC - they have a single target. Similarly, easing cost of doing the 'right thing' on bank reserves seems provides another excuse to be dove(ish) @dsmitheconomics @jagjit_chadha
Our reaction, by @MichailMonica to this morning's #inflation release: Annual inflation recorded 3.4% in May 2025, according to today’s ONS figures. We forecast inflation to remain above 3% for the remainder of the year amidst persistent wage growth and the inflationary effects…
