This is the blog of Giles Wilkes, a sometime temp, ten years a financial market spiv, once the Chief Economist of CentreForum, now an ex Special Adviser to Vince Cable, former leader writer at the FT, then Special Adviser to Theresa May, now at the Institute for Government. It is pretty wild here.
This is my personal blog. It ought to be very clear that these are all my own views, as signified from time to time with phrases like “I think that” and so on.
I tweet @Gilesyb.

Hi Giles,
I just wanted to see whether you might like to cross post your post about the Prospect article on LabourList tomorrow? It’d be great if you might…
Do let me know!

Dear Giles
Like very much those words and wholeheartedly endorse them.
Will create a link from http://www.mikeconomics.net in the next uptate (there’s already one to Centre Forum).
May I take this opportunity to invite me to read the extended version of my op-ed published on Liberal Democrat Voice blog:
http://www.libdemvoice.org/opinion-from-shipyards-to-wind-turbines-britain-needs-bets-17942.html (very interesting exchanges there)
The full text titled “NEEDED: BRITAIN’S ECONOMIC REINVENTION” is available on http://www.mikeconomics.net/home/mindreading/.
Best regards

Excellent blog
Excellent blog, looking forward to it. Do you have any advice on how to become a special adviser? What qualifications are needed? Do you need to have worked for the party in opposition as well as government?
Hi Giles
Just wondering if you would be available for an interview on CNBC? Please do email me. Thank you
Hi Giles,
I was wondering whether you’d be interested in coming back to BIS to give a talk about your experience as a SpAd?
I was thinking maybe a 30-45 min talk, followed by Q&A?
If interested, drop me an email at sean.browne@bis.gsi.gov.uk
Best wishes,
Sean
