Things will get better if we stick together - that's what Andy says. And that's the kind of PM we need.

North Sea oil won't cut our bills. It won't help energy security. Labour is right on oil, gas and clean energy - and the polling proves it. But they need to be bolder. My new piece in @LabourList labourlist.org/2026/04/labour…

We’re facing the second fossil fuel shock in less than 5 years. Events far away are once again impacting families and businesses here at home. We can’t go on leaving our country so exposed. The solution lies in clean homegrown power we control. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

An increasingly coherent picture of the impact of AI on jobs, by @jburnmurdoch @ft: 1. New Fed paper by Crane and Soto now confirms with official labor force survey data what private payroll analysis was showing: roughly 500,000 fewer coders are working than pre-LLM trends would predict. 2. Argues evidence consistent with my work (with Lin and Wu, link in my pinned post) on weak/strong bundles: junior developers and contractors hold "weak bundles" (their work is mostly standalone coding that AI can substitute directly), senior developers hold "tight bundles" where coding is combined with domain expertise, judgment, and cross-functional responsibilities, making substitution much harder. 3. Freund & Mann and Gans & Goldfarb add a second lens: what matters is the value of the tasks that survive automation. Remove coding from a senior role and you free up time for higher-value work; remove it from a junior role and almost nothing remains. ft.com/content/b69f85…

I've had a sneak peek, and it's banging. Furious about what's happened over the last few decades, and last few years. But also really thoughtful and nuanced about that & about what the implications are for the future. Strong recommend!

Big announcement! My new book - The Fall of the West - is out for pre-order now. I travelled from Baghdad to the Rust Belt to trace how Western power created the crises now engulfing it. Very excited to tell you more about it...

The arson attack on a Jewish ambulance service in Golders Green is a deeply shocking act of antisemitism in our capital. These ambulances provide free medical transportation and emergency response to people in North London. Setting them on fire is a cowardly attack directed at people dedicated to saving lives in their community. We must never allow hatred like this to become normalised.

If Starmer looked away over Mandelson so did Parliament. So did most of the media. And yet Starmer finds himself almost forced to resign? Why? Part of the answer is a weak Labour Party, from top to bottom. Part of the answer is an increasingly unhinged political culture. New writing from me substack.com/@lewisgoodall/…
