When Laffer says UK is taxing itself to death we should pay attention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re a month away from the Budget, and the Treasury is, by all accounts, desperate. The new Chancellor doesn’t understand what is happening and the PM isn’t interested. The Government’s finances look increasingly worrying. Borrowing is running above target and the mix of higher gilt yields and higher inflation mean borrowing yet more is not a realistic option. Maybe John Healey and Andy Burnham can trim spending, as they jolly well ought to, but even so, there will have to be tax rises. How? We
Bond rout could blow a huge hole in the UK's finances and repeat 1976 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The surge in bond yields last week was a global one. But it hit the UK hardest as we have to pay more than any other major economy to fund our debt. The yield – or effective interest rate – on ten-year gilts (UK Government bonds) was just over 5.1 per cent on Monday. By Thursday evening in trading in New York it had shot up to 5.4 per cent, before coming back a bit on Friday. If you want to know what that means for the rest of us, mortgage rates have already started to climb again. The average f
Labour must stop taxing stores to oblivion to save the High Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have to find a way of reviving the High Street. We all know this, and it is profoundly depressing to walk down a once-thriving town centre, only to see a string of boarded-up storefronts, interspersed with a few charity shops. Andy Burnham understands this, saying they have been ‘hollowed out’ by vape stores, betting shops and rogue businesses. He’s announced a string of measures supposed to revive them, including closing planning loopholes, shutting ‘dodgy businesses linked to organised crim
Canadians deserve our support (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Forget this silly business of Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario Lake America. That’s just petulance. The President is trying to do serious damage to the Canadian economy and we must help. This late summer bank holiday is a good time to reflect, before we plunge back into the practical issues facing us come the autumn. This should happen at a personal level of course – what do we need to get right in the months ahead? – but also at a wider level. And one big question raised by this summer’s turm
Bonds are the new battleground, says HAMISH MCRAE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been another week of tension on the bond markets. But bonds – fixed-interest securities – never get the same amount of attention as shares. Moderna’s shares nearly doubling because of a drug trial success is a more read-me story than our government having to borrow at over 5 per cent for ten years. But in any rational sense, the latter of those two events that occurred last week matters more. Moderna shares are still at less than half their price in 2021 when its pioneering Covid-19 jab w
