Lost in transmission
Research into how well facts travel finds that they must be well packaged and there must be a call for them . Just over three years ago, Mary Morgan and her colleagues in the Department of Economic History at LSE were brainstorming ideas that fitted the Leverhulme Trust's research grant remit on The Nature of Evidence and came up with what, at first glance, seems a strange solution.

Lost under Labour: 486 primary schools - despite highest birth rate in 26 years
Local government expert Professor Tony Travers, of the London School of Economics, said: ‘You have to take councils at face value when they say they will be ring-fencing funds. But ring-fencing doesn't necessarily mean extra spending on education.’

Play hardball with the banks
Downing Street has made a silly error in allowing expectations to build ahead of today's summit between the Prime Minister and the banks. Tory chancellor-in-waiting George Osborne has come up with a sensible idea ahead of the meeting. He proposes that the Treasury and the Bank of England seek to ease conditions in the credit markets, where the three-month interbank rate is trading at just below 6pc, through a swap facility. This picks up on ideas explored by London School of Economics Professor, Willem Buiter, who has been one of the saner voices throughout the credit crisis.

The £230m primary schools sell off
Councils pledge to put the money raised from primary school sales back into education funding, and many new schools and facilities have been built using the revenue. However, professor Tony Travers, a local government expert at the London School of Economics, warned that pledges on education spending have to be taken with a pinch of salt. He said: ‘You have to take councils at face value when they say they will be ring-fencing funds. But ring-fencing doesn't necessarily mean extra spending on education.’
