  1. Only consequential in this mad political year 2016 that a self declared Thatcherite is now favourite to be next French president..

  2. LePen v Fillon v Macron v Valls/Hollande v Montebourg v Mélenchon. actually blessed with proper choice in 2017.

  3. Can contribute to much-needed productivity growth or will it gradually erode tax base and undermine social model? (2/2)

  4. Two big Qs will need addressing: 1) Can boost flexibility of mini-entrepreneurs or does it mean a rise in precarious work? (1/2)

  5. Very good by on how rise of and 'mini entrepreneurs' also challenges the tax base. (£)

  6. trend: CDU/CSU on the up; AfD eying 3rd place; SPD in no man's land; FDP in or out could tip balance.

  7. Martin Schulz speaks with an Aachen dialect called "Öcher Platt", where every "sch" is replaced with a "ch". Takes some getting used to

  8. not "running" for parliament. He will be handed a seat courtesy of Germany's list system. So surely part of a bigger 'plan'..

  9. European Digital City Index according to and .

  10. membership support in biggest member states: upward trend. the one to watch, in particular if stumbles over referendum.

  11. Wow. These are only partial results, but ex-PM François Fillon taking a strong lead in France's rightwing primary

  12. Impressive 4 million voters at rightwing primary 1st round in France. Clearly people understand they are choosing the next president...

  13. After Merkel, now also looks like Juppé & Fillon will fight it out in 2nd round . Gaullism and christian democracy strike back.

  14. If wins in 2017 and serves a full term, will only have had three different chancellors in, yes, 39 years.

  15. Share of goods exports to the UK for countries.

  16. Big politics day: French centre-right to vote their presidential candidate. to declare she'll run again (or not). 2017 defining.

  17. Full study on "Gig Work, Online Selling and Home Sharing” here:

  18. For majority of 'gig workers', platform economy income is essential or important. Compare that to recent survey.

  19. Interesting figures: 24% of Americans earned money on the back of the ‘platform economy’ in past year, of which 8% through ‘gigs’.

  20. Attitudes towards globalisation. Fine survey.
