“Completely baffling", is how TV presenter and pub owner James May describes the UK's alcohol duty system in @Telegraph
📰 With the #UKBudget fast approaching, the former Top Gear presenter is backing an @ASI proposal for @hmtreasury to address high taxation rates on spirits like Scotch Whisky - a campaign we're also behind 👇

I’d be lying to if I said I wasn’t delighted at seeing my name alongside @MrJamesMay in the Telegraph.
Thank you to @silvandreoletti, @maxwell_marlow and other contributors for helping press this important paper out.
It is your duty to give it a read!

🥃 Our fabulous distillers are a great success at home and abroad. They deserve support and not the dead hand of the infantilising and authoritarian Left.

Yes - which means that we have a million adults not smoking cigarettes, but using a 95% safer product.

Water renationalised.
The energy grid renationalised.
Housing renationalised.
How will you pay for this, Andy? 👇

Nationalising water. What a disaster.
Government should have accepted the recapitalisation offer by investors.
Now taxpayers will be forking out tens of billions, and the state will be caught in international arbitration courts, in order to undertake this ideological move.

I'm back in @TheCriticMag today, arguing for financial and audit reforms in England's parish and town councils.
With 173 parish councils now charging households more than the average district council, and no cap on how much they can hike tax by, the case for reform is urgent.
Parish and Town Councils are responsible for increasing amounts of tax, writes James Hodgkinson, yet remain unaccountable

Every year @BritishProgress asks Britain's top economists and policy researchers what the UK should do to increase growth.
🚨 As covered exclusively for @thetimes this morning, the 2026 growth survey results are now in! 🚨
This was our biggest survey yet with over 100 responses.
📉 The bad news: Britain's public finances, with inflation hit by external shocks, are in a bad state.
📈 The good news: the UK is not without options. There is much that can be done on the supply side reforms, & smarter fiscal policy can raise revenue while supporting growth.
Here are the 12 most interesting results 👇
*1. Where should the government prioritise spending political capital?*
We asked "In what areas should the Government invest more (or less) political capital to achieve growth?"
NB this was explicitly not a question about spending – that's the next one.

London’s rivals are Dubai and Singapore, not Manchester and Birmingham.
I take aim at "Manchesterism" and the ridiculous claim that a third Heathrow runway will "siphon investment from the North."
London doesn’t thrive at the expense of other British cities!
Treating London and Manchester as rivals is absurd bit.ly/4h01eco

Labour is borrowing billions more money every month than it brings in.
But we also have to pay interest on that huge debt pile. That's money that we can't spend on defence or the NHS.
Since the election Labour have spent £200 billion JUST on debt interest payments!

Skattekvoten den lägsta sedan 1975. Statsskulden drygt en tredjedel av den brittiska. Stockholm slog London om Europas största börsnotering.
Våra vänner på den brittiska tankesmedjan Adam Smith Institute har börjat titta avundsjukt norrut. Den ekonomiska politik som tog oss hit har en stor majoritet av väljarna bakom sig.
