🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨

Join us as an Operations Associate and help keep the engine running at for @britishprogress.bsky.social. This is a great role for an ambitious junior person looking to join a small and dynamic team.

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨

The Alan Turing Institute has visibly struggled, and is now at a critical juncture. The Secretary of State has intervened. What happens next?

A new report for @britishprogress.bsky.social by me and @jujulemons.bsky.social sets out a plan: 🧵

Mission‑driven government needs more than ambition:  we must rewrite the rules of the game.

Today for @britishprogress.bsky.social, Pedro and I show how mechanism design (‘ reverse game theory’) can help the Government shape markets, crowd in investment and deliver radical reform.

Will throwing more money at British companies actually help our economy?

Politicians keep threatening to direct British savings & pensions to UK equities. But this won’t fix the underlying reasons for Britain’s low investment & productivity – and could deliver worse returns. 🧵

The Case for Abundance: Why Demand Suppression Won’t Fix the Cost of Living The composition of inflation means that the cost of living is more acute for ordinary households. Solving this requires abundance: particularly in the supply of housing and energy.

"[T]he cost of living crisis is the result of a chronic lack of abundance. If we prioritise achieving other goals over boosting our productive capacity, households will continue to feel squeezed in their everyday spending"

100%, @britishprogress.bsky.social!

Britain’s long-term economic growth and strategic heft depend on winning top-tier scientists, engineers, and technical founders.

Following the government's announcement of a new head-hunting unit for exceptional talent, I wrote for
@britishprogress.bsky.social on what it should look like:

new for @britishprogress.bsky.social:

a broken regulatory state has led to delayed investment, eroded state capacity, powerless politicians, zombified companies and rate-limited startups

it's time to change the model

not a bonfire, but a controlled explosion: britishprogress.org/reports/fix...

🚨 NEW PAPER KLAXON 🚨

@britishprogress.bsky.social's first research report is out! It is all about the Government's announcement of a new defence innovation unit – UK Defence Innovation.

Here’s how to build this unit for maximum impact on security and prosperity: 🧵
