I’ve lost count of the number of people who put to me that my colleague Cindy Yu might be a spy. Funny? At first. But it’s becoming a kind of soft McCarthyism that she confronts head-on in this brilliant piece. www.thetimes.com/article/b5d7...

Cindy Yu: No, I am not a Chinese spy
Cindy Yu came to Britain from China when she was nine. She’s long put up with jibes that she’s really working for Beijing — but the joke is wearing thin

The Gary Stevenson/Piketty formula is simple: r > g = more inequality. It’s also false. And that matters, especially for Labour. My column:- www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Want to help the poor? Don’t chase out the rich
Taxing the wealthy sounds like an easy way to fix inequality, but as Rachel Reeves is discovering, it’s not as simple as that

Starmer should have nationalised British Steel today, as Attlee and Wilson did. Instead, he set up a law that allows him to dictate terms to a private company and imprison its executives for up to two years if they don’t comply. My take on a dangerous precedent:- substack.com/home/post/p-...
substack.com
The steel deal is coercion, not nationalisation
Keir Starmer is threatening to imprison non-compliant executives. Why?

Trump pulling out of Paris Agreement didn't slow the fall in US emissions last time (2017) and probably won't now. Decarbonisation is happening regardless, and will happen faster if US focus on growth / innovation bears fruit. My Times column:- www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
