The UK is a pretty scary place when it comes to free speech. Very hopeful that this new org can help reform our dreadful laws. I’ve donated £1,000 and become a member (because I couldn’t bear to give less than Sam Bowman). You should donate too!

In tomorrow's Budget, the Chancellor will announce around £30 billion worth of cuts or taxes to meet her fiscal rules. This is the right thing to do: anything else would shake investor confidence further and create even more trouble. However, there are better and worse ways to

Britain needs nuclear power. Our nuclear projects are the most expensive in the world and among the slowest. Regulators and industry are paralysed by risk aversion. This can change. For Britain to prosper, it must. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister appointed me to lead a

What happens when Swedish women are biologically incapable of naturally bearing children? They earn roughly the same as men! Bravo to @landais_camille et al - who examine a rare congenital condition to track the gender pay gap. (Assuming these women are otherwise normal).

Super clever design testing if gender pay differences stem from discrimination. In that case, the “gap” should appear for infertile women. Contrary to discrimination accounts, infertility erased income differences. So: no discrimination in hiring - pay differences reflect

The "gender pay gap" exists due to having kids. Mayer-Rokitanski-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome makes women infertile, but they're otherwise normal. By 28-30, MRKH women earn as much as men and a "wage gap" opens up for them relative to normal women when normal women have kids.
