Looking for Growth (@lfg_uk) 's Twitter Profile Photo

We hate to be right when the economy's so wrong. But we need to be looking for growth harder than ever. Join us in our mission to Get Britain Growing Again. LFG.

To stabilize UK debt-to-GDP (95.9%), a 4.72% nominal GDP growth rate is needed. To reduce it to 80% in 10 years, you would need 5-6% growth. Current real growth at 1% and inflation at 3.6%, massive productivity gains and cuts are the only options.

The general view of the UK economy is that it's been stagnating for decades now. But on some of the most important metrics it's actually going backwards...

It is extraordinary that Britain has achieved this despite: Cripplingly high energy costs Strangling regulation Flat productivity Highest tax burden in 70 years Imagine what the Britain of 2050 could be doing if we start being run competently. Stay optimistic!

free speech. but we’ll shoot you. something is deeply broken in the west. if we don’t fix it, eventually everyone could be ushered at gunpoint to sign the proclamations of the Truth Ministers.

I have no words. I don't understand how to live in a world where someone would take a father away from his young children for having a different opinion.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe

When will the UK government and LSE wake up and realise that if you drive away companies and entrepreneurs it’s bad for tax receipts. AstraZeneca’s US listing to leave £200mn UK stamp duty hole. This won’t be the last, many more will follow. on.ft.com/4nABap9

"100 million words context window is already possible, which is roughly what a human hears in a lifetime. Inference support is the only bottleneck to achieve it. And AI Models actually do learn during the context window, without changing the weights." ~ Anthropic CEO Dario

A spectacular example of Orwellian doublespeak from the UK Home Secretary: "Just because you have a freedom doesn’t mean you have to use it at every moment of every day." In fact the ability do something whenever you want is practically the definition of a freedom.

The UK creates generational companies but can’t keep them. ARM, DeepMind, Revolut… are all foreign owned, employ more staff outside the UK than in it, and pay little to no corporation tax in the UK. If growth has and will continue to come from tech companies, how will the UK

Really enjoyed speaking to Tim Bradshaw and Clive Cookson about CoMind, how we're working to redefine clinical monitoring of the brain, and the funding we've raised to help us achieve this. ft.com/content/1f41a6…

We're excited to announce that CoMind has secured $102.5 million in funding to help us redefine how we monitor and treat the brain. For decades, doctors treating critically ill patients have been forced to compromise when monitoring the brain: use risky, expensive, highly

1/ Very excited to share that Plural is leading a $60 million Series A in CoMind, the startup building breakthrough optical sensing technology to revolutionise brain monitoring and treatment.

The founder of CoMind (James Dacombe) was 17 when he founded the company. It's now raised over $100m. The company has developed brand new un-intrusive ways of monitoring brain health. It's just announced a huge funding round meaning it's now raised over $100m. Plural
