David Cracknell and James Laing meet for our new series of Market Share podcasts dedicated to covering the politics and economics of the day.

This episode sees David and James look back over the first few months of the year: how the SVB crisis differed from the 2008 financial crash and whether the government has done enough to prevent another major economic collapse; the status and progress of IPOs and M&A activity; and the crucial question, why does the UK market keep shrinking?

Tavistock’s David Cracknell speaks to Robert Watts, Editor of The Sunday Times Rich List, ahead of the 2023 edition in early May.

Robert gives a fascinating insight into the production of the supplement, how to get in the list and how to stay out…plus an exclusive small hint at what we can expect to see in the Rich List 2023.

Tavistock’s David Cracknell meets with their newly appointed non-executive director, James Laing, for the first in a series of quarterly podcasts dedicated to covering the politics and economics of the day.

This first episode of Market Share sees David and James look back over 2022, as well as forward to 2023. Their conversation covers whether the British economy was going pear shaped before the Truss & Kwarteng mini budget and if global markets are now more comfortable with Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt at the helm, as well as expectations and forecasts for equities, investments, and central banks over the coming months.

Tavistock’s David Cracknell meets with The Sunday Times’ Economics Editor, David Smith, to discuss whether there is light at the end of the political tunnel. Their conversation covers the effects of the biggest UK recession in 300 years, whether the recent budget will help the Tories get ahead in the polls, and if its smart party policies or “mood music” that decide elections.

David Smith has been Economics Editors of the Sunday times since 1989. He is also chief leader-writer, assistant editor and policy adviser, as well as being the author of several books and a visiting professor at Cardiff and Nottingham Universities.
