• So most “married” U.K. couples are not properly married according to the Catholic Church, because they got married in some other church or a Registry Office. What nonsense! Link

  • In the light of all the controversy about #Boris’s flat, it is worth recalling that Yes Prime Minister had an excellent episode about a similar issue focussed around catering at No.10. Can’t remember the episode name but maybe @notayesmansecon can help!

  • Car showrooms opened again on Monday so Mrs Sentance and I went to a local car dealer this morning to replace her rather aged Vauxhall Zafira. We are doing our bit to support the economy but it was relatively quiet at the Vauxhall dealership in Waltham Cross while we were there.

  • Andy Haldane is leaving the Bank of England and very best wishes to him for his future career. I haven’t always agreed with him, but he has always been thought-provoking with his views and his departure is a loss in terms of diversity of thinking at #BoE. Link

    Andy Haldane, the Bank of England’s chief economist and one of its most prominent public figures, has quit to become chief executive of the Royal Society for Arts thinktank.

    One of the UK’s leading economists, Haldane, 53, will step down from Threadneedle Street’s rate-setting monetary policy committee (MPC) after the panel meets in June. He will take up his post at the RSA in September.

    In a surprise move after 32 years at the Bank, he will succeed Matthew Taylor at the 267-year-old charitable institution, which operates under royal charter to promote ideas for improving the economy, arts, society and raising living standards.

  • UK monthly GDP in Feb is slightly up on Jan, but remains 7.8 percent below a year ago. This is less than 1/3 of the 24.6 percent drop in #GDP in the first lockdown in Spring last year. Strong fiscal support + private sector adaptation have significantly moderated lockdown impact.

  • Why have we not dug a parallel canal to the 19th century Suez Canal. A quite extraordinary failure in providing the infrastructure to meet the needs of the modern global economy. It’s a bit like the A1 in the 60s - a single carriageway road when a dual carriageway was required!
