The regulators, who didn’t spot the bubble when it was blocking out the whole sky? Those self-serving politicians who oversee the regulators and maintain the health of the economic system that the bankers feed in? What about the ...

If the Government is going to spray £75 billion quids' worth of petrol on the embers of the economy, they could at least do it in a way that stands the best chance of achieving something. Here's an idea. Offer people the chance to sell a stake of up to 50% or £75k, in their house, whichever is the smaller. This can only go towards reducing their ...

Do you watch House, the US medical drama series? In it, the team, ably led by the wonderfully acerbic Hugh Laurie as the eponymous head doctor in the Department of Diagnostic Medicine, solve puzzling medical cases through a range of medical tests, brainstorms and lateral thinking.

We’ve heard much about how bankers have been rewarded too much for doing too little. And we’ve mainly heard it from politicians. So, now I’m going to give the bankers a break.

Wouldn't it be nice to have everyone speak the same language? Definitely no political motive - move right along - nothing to see here. Just trying to make sure we agree a common phrasebook. Simply giving the people access to markets in open and transparent way, and make it easy to use new shiny order management tools to route deal flow to the mos...
