@matthew_elliott made a special trip to the Prosperity Institute where I was listening to Peggy Noonan to give me a copy of 'the book' hot off the press. I'm afraid it's appearance was a minor distraction because so many wanted to be pictured with it including the speaker!

Prosperity Through Growth is out on the 23rd of October and is available to pre-order now on Amazon: https://t.co/gVa2iZKQ9J

(3/4) we have is a big deficit of jobs. If we want to get Britain working again we must be focusing on creating the jobs.

(2/4) growth has slowed down since 2008 while the population has increased, that means per-capita we are poorer than we used to be.

(1/4) It was great to be on @LBC and big thank you to @IainDale for the nice words about the book.

Quite right but now scrap your discriminatory, social-engineering, non merit based admission policies. Discrimination is wrong in whichever direction it is applied. Prejudicing applicants by their parents or postcode is plain wrong.

A little chart to put today’s ONS stats into context. As you can see the gap between available jobs and those claiming unemployment related benefits is increasing. How are those people going to move out of unemployment if the jobs don’t exist?

UK job vacancies have fallen again. Down 9,000 this quarter to 717,000. That’s 78,000 below pre-pandemic levels. How can we Get Britain Working if there are many more people out of work than there are job vacancies?

Today we mark the centenary of Margaret Thatcher’s birth and her convictions on enterprise and family business remain as relevant as ever. She understood that small businesses weren’t just job creators, they were the backbone of Britain’s prosperity. Yet she also warned against

Well worth reading this column by @LordAshcroft. Why is the Government undermining Academy schools - part of the education system that works well - when it should be focusing on failing schools and getting the 1m young people not in employment, education of training (NEETs) into

(3/3) I’m pleased to say that @KiranFothergill , Director at Pickerings Lifts, chairs @TheJobsFndn North East Business Council, and is one of the first business leaders we visited when we established the Jobs Foundation.

(2/3) Founded in 1854, Pickerings Lifts are one of the UK’s oldest and most respected engineering companies, and a great example of how family-run businesses play a vital role in communities throughout the country. https://t.co/BcjBrmZy0m

(1/2) In case you were not a CPC25 or read it on all my X posts, I am releasing a book on the 23rd of October called Prosperity Through Growth. Together with @realartlaffer, Michael Hintze and @DMcWilliams_UK, we have set out an economic plan to get Britain growing again!

Enjoyable @spectator panel deftly chaired by @JAHeale with @griffitha Revolut and @matthew_elliott on finance’s role in making Britain boom again. With growing international competition we agreed on the need for less regulation and more financial education #CPC25 @Conservatives
