One of the most powerful, lucid and actionable blueprints about how to turn the boat around on the UK economy.

Truly excellent - if you want to learn how the UK economy dysfunctions, and how it could work better, read this.

(London should maybe hire John and Andrew as advisors to stoke growth).
New essay out today by me and @acjsissons.bsky.social - ‘Getting Britain out of the hole: a plan for the economy’. You can read the whole thing here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk

Hoe vinden de marketingjongens en -meisjes bij deze warmtepomptoko zelf dat het gaat? AI gebruiken voor je plaatjes is nog niet het ergste. Dat is de totale desinteresse die ermee gepaard gaat. Ik verwijs graag naar mijn column: zeg gewoon eens nee tegen AI

Today's #HydrogenSoufflé comes from the heavy-duty truck market, which soared from absolutely nothing in 2020 to not-quite-nothing in Q4 2023, before collapsing to 1/3 of not-quite-nothing in 2025. If you think it's different in China, no: that's *including* China!

Germany: So much better than you think!
I illustrate why German per capita GDP is "higher value" than US per capita GDP - and I argue that Germany will outperform during 2026-27. I'm also optimistic on Germany, and Europe, medium-term.

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

I know I am the unusual European tech nerd, but most of these proposals - getting rid of the useless cookie banners, making data sharing more easy while still retaining some protection - sound like positive steps to me as a European consumer.
