| The two remaining furnaces at the Scunthorpe steel plant, known as Anne and Bess, have blasted through plenty of crises over the course of their long lives and now, thanks to an emergency effort by ministers to source enough materials to keep them fed, it seems they’ll roar for a few more years. But it was a close run thing.

Thursday 10 April 2025 6:00 am | Updated: Tuesday 08 April 2025 3:35 pm Come back non-doms, all is forgiven Editor-in-Chief I write this sitting in the morning sunshine in a cafe in central Milan, where I’m one day into my new life as a beneficiary of their special tax regime for high net worth individuals, meaning that in exchange for a mere €200,000 a year I can protect my overseas sources of wealth and income from Italian tax, including inheritance tax. OK, that’s not entirely true; I’m...

Wednesday 09 April 2025 6:00 am | Updated: Tuesday 08 April 2025 3:31 pm If you think this government is pro-business, let me sell you Tower Bridge Editor-in-Chief As the government continues to develop its response to Trump’s tariffs and the changing global economic order, the Prime Minister’s muddled thinking is troubling me. We now know that he wants to simultaneously “unleash” British business whilst “sheltering it from the storm,” like a parent who implores his child to “run, but not...

Tuesday 08 April 2025 6:00 am | Updated: Monday 07 April 2025 7:16 pm Trump’s trade war is a test for Starmer – I fear he’ll fail it Editor-in-Chief Keir Starmer declared yesterday that we’re now living “in a completely new world.” He’s not wrong; Donald Trump has cut to shreds the established economic order and flung the pieces into the air. At this stage, where those pieces will land is anyone’s guess. So, Starmer is right to sense a moment. But what will he do with it? The government’s...

Monday 07 April 2025 6:00 am | Updated: Sunday 06 April 2025 9:30 pm Tariff response: slash red tape and lure the non-doms back Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith on the five steps the government should now take A few years before he died, Henry Kissinger described Trump as “one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretences”. It is time for us to give up the pretence that the world owes us a living and...

Thursday 03 April 2025 6:00 am | Updated: Wednesday 02 April 2025 6:45 pm Tesla pays the price for Elon Musk’s politics Editor-in-Chief People do strange things when passions are running high. Take the brave protester in Bristol, who last month felt he had to take a stand against the Bond villain/visionary entrepreneur (delete as appropriate) Elon Musk. Armed with an anti-Musk poster and a large metal pole, he set about smashing up a parked Tesla in an orgy of righteous anger. Unfortunately,...
