However, with a team of four people, plus a summer intern currently in the Funding the Future team, this is perhaps an inevitable outcome.<\/p>\n<p>That said, we recognise that overload is not a sales pitch, and so we have come up with a possible solution we want to try.<\/p>\n<p>The morning publishing round, of the video plus commentary on the day's events and issues related to them, will remain much as at present. The Debate Ammunition will also appear at this time. This material is the bedrock of the blog.<\/p>\n<p>The materials we are now adding, or have sought to add of late, will become part of a later-day publishing routine, with some possibly arriving around midday and others by 5 pm. It is unlikely that there will be more than two a day.<\/p>\n<p>What are the items that will appear here? The list is by no means fixed as yet, but the following are possible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/glossary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Glossary<\/a> entries (and please note, requests are welcome for these), of which there have been several hundred to date.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/category\/economics-of-hope\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Economics of Hope<\/a> series, which has twenty-three more essays outlined at present.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/2026\/06\/30\/my-view-on-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View On<\/a> series, which is now being entirely rewritten in the first person, as requested. Around 100 titles are listed for this series at present, and a final format is being developed.<\/li>\n<li>A new series on the Politics of Care, being largely written by James, based on practical examples from local government, in which he previously worked. There are around 12 case studies in draft here.<\/li>\n<li>Another possible report series on what has gone wrong in the UK, starting with local government, with others possibly to follow. This, again, is an issue where James is taking the lead. These will be report-length. Ideas for these are developing.<\/li>\n<li>Podcasts may also feature in these time slots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is a lot of work in all this, but with clear aims.<\/p>\n<p>The glossary, Economics of Hope and View On series are all about laying foundations and explaining what is possible. There has been a great deal of material published here over the years, not all of it very accessible. The aim is to improve accessibility to core data and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The last two exercises, led by James, the first of which looks likely to start soon, are intended to show that change is possible.<\/p>\n<p>All of these, along with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/category\/debate-ammunition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debate Ammunition<\/a> series, are intended to inform debate.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these materials might end up in e-books or downloads in due course.<\/p>\n<p>We need a politics of care and an economics of hope. These are the materials to support that goal.<\/p>\n<p>Will this work for you?
