What I think
Jobs, Work and Business
Hammond’s Budget was anti-business and anti-opportunity
An untrammelled free market left to its own devices does not automatically lead to an environment in which such productive, innovative and progressive businesses can thrive.
This isn’t Project Fear – this is Project Reality
I spoke to UK businesspeople over the weekend about what they’d really do in a no-deal Brexit. Everyone needs to hear what they said.
The Tory Party is hardly pro-business. They are screwing them over.
In the last couple of years, the Tories have achieved a quite remarkable feat: not only have they managed to reinforce their stereotype of being anti-worker, but now they are increasingly seen as anti-business too
What I learnt from the internship controversy at my office
The suggestion made was that I have been offering unpaid internships in my office – this is not the case.
Labour must end its ambiguous stance towards Brexit
The benefits of the single market are obvious and we will do British workers a disservice if we fail to acknowledge it
Business is too important not to be a loud voice in the Brexit debate
Brexit is proving to be the most important, and most complicated, issue for Britain in a generation.
The Spring Statement will prove we can’t trust the Tories with money
In our 13 years in office, Labour borrowed £490bn. In half that timeframe, the Tories have borrowed just under three-quarters of a trillion pounds.
Want to end fat cat pay? Give employees a stake in the businesses they work for
Deep in our national culture is the notion of reciprocity – if you work hard and play by the rules, you will see a return, and that must mean much greater employee-ownership in Britain
The machine age is upon us. We must not let it grind society to pieces
What good is glittering technology if it robs us of jobs and rips communities apart? We need to work out how humans will prosper in a world of robots.
