My commentary on corporation tax in Northern Ireland reached the Belfast Telegraph this morning, where my piece starts:
I am worried that Northern Ireland could be sleep walking to a disaster on corporation tax. Across the political divide there is support for devolving power to set corporation tax to Stormont and then reducing that rate to 12.5% to supposedly match the rate in the Republic.
It's only 300 words, but it summarises why this issue is one to worry about, and not just in Northern Ireland.
Thanks for reading this post.

So then Mr. M., would you order the NI Assembly to not drop their rate? How would you deal with their concerns over the Republic’s lower tax rate?
No, of course I would not order them to drop their rate
The need is for more investment, not a cut in tax rate
The UK has to deliver the spend NI needs
