Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University tells Simon Rose of his concern that GDP data is being spun and politicised and thus becoming less reliable and useful. After a raft of trade deals with an Indo-Pacific tilt, is a UK-US trade deal back on the table and, if so, can it be done in time? And, a year on from Liz Truss's ill-fated premiership, Tim looks at the things she got right, particularly that growing our economy should be at the heart of policymaking and understanding that the high-tax approach could be creating a doom loop.
