Always super interesting to chat with @RGurumurthy about policy in Britain

[Prospect @prospect_uk]

Build more homes. Attract global talent. Simplify tax. The route to growth will involve “liberalism’s respect for markets... and social democracy’s belief in an active state,” writes @RGurumurthy

The government is adrift. The next PM needs a plan. For Prospect, @RGurumurthy wrote one

As older brother I’d say “Always” is questionable…but it’s a good read

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Agreed. His ‘market socialism’ is another way of describing Andy Burnham ‘s business friendly socialism. The liberal left is beginning to cohere around a coherent 21st century liberal social democratic programme. Something of a moment!

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

Always worth listening to Ravi Gurumurthy - especially when the debate about policy is more open.

With Burnham winning, the focus now should be on what a new PM must do to drive economic growth. My essay in Prospect sets out an approach which combines muscular collective action by the state and more dynamic markets https://t.co/GtKc85ADPY

My boss, @RGurumurthy has written something rather more interesting than most people manage, on what a Labour government could look like and ACTUALLY DO - https://t.co/0x3o2GSKCj

[Prospect @prospect_uk]

On the latest episode of the Prospect Podcast, editor @PhilipJCollins1 and guest @RGurumurthy discuss what changes the current government could make to re-energise the country, and debate everything from housing to data

Get your Policy Fix! I'll be writing fortnightly on policy and innovation. First up is how to check whether you are overconfident, and why we should offer free heat pumps to 150,000 installers. Please share, subscribe, and tell me what you think.

AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery.
Today we published an essay about why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Let’s look at it like economists.

[Joss Garman @jossgarman]

‘One reason that electricity prices are high in the UK is that gas sets the marginal price more often than in any EU nation’

3) Most strategies contain lofty objectives and a list of initiatives, rather than quantify the impact of policies on outcome. While there are uncertainties, all strategies should replace adjectives with numbers rather than put these in impact assessments after policy decided.

What are the different evidence-based paths to halving obesity?

Check out our ‘Blueprint’ project, where we’ve reviewed thousands of papers and rated interventions based on their costs, benefits, impact on obesity, and the strength of the evidence. https://t.co/aREchvvj2h

[Ravi Gurumurthy @RGurumurthy]

2) It is feasible and cost-effective to adopt radical action on obesity so halving obesity as a goal should be established in 10 yr health plan, with a body - akin to Climate Change Committee - set up to monitor progress and recommend any policy changes.
