While I'm relieved that #readingfc is finally under new ownership, we should remember that this crisis was an avoidable crisis. A strong independent football regulator will start to fix football's governance problem. My speech at the the Football Governance Bill last week 👇

Local GPs tell me that our health centres need more physical space to accommodate local needs, and to bring care closer to people’s homes. Thanks to Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, for agreeing to meet with me and local GPs as the result of my parliamentary question!

Can you trust online “finfluencers”? I spoke with Financial Conduct Authority about the worrying rise in unregulated financial advice. It’s alarming that not a single conviction has been made—despite the harm caused to vulnerable people.

Lombardelli says economics needs people who don’t just study the world - but have lived in it. Bridging theory & real-world experience is key to making the field more inclusive, relevant, and trusted. As a Rethinking Economics co-founder, I couldn’t agree more. theguardian.com/business/2025/…
