Why should we stop freezing fuel duty? 1. It's a tax cut that helps wealthier households the most and poorest households the least

I'm afraid it's true that water companies will need a lot of £££ to make the investments that were not made in the last twenty years. But TW is not too big to fail, and you cannot have privatization without some form of liability... (rip my uss pension)

It's a wonderful year to teach public policy in the UK : Is it better to tax junk food or to do surprise inspections of pubs to measure people's waist?

By writing longer papers, you slightly increase your chances of publishing. But you also decrease the chance of shorter papers being published by competitors, as they now look "rough" and not "robust"

Seems that Barnier PM can only work as a minority government supported by the far right. Quite a strange outcome after an election in which all other parties allied to block the far right - and won on this platform

RCT introduction of a pollution market in Surat, Gujarat. Pollution fell by 20–30%, and efficiently — gains came from the firms who could cut pollution most effectively. Mortality benefits are *25 times* costs. An incredible state/research collaboration. 1/2

Third-party chats (interoperability between WhatsApp and other messaging apps) looks... good? Unless I miss something it seems to be an instance where big tech applies both the letter and spirit of an EU regulation? Unlike google hiding all maps or GDPR consent pop up windows..
