Uniqueness of circumstance isn’t always the best environment for scientific research. As Eszter Hargittai suggests in the introduction to ‘Connected in Isolation: Digital Privilege in Unsettled Times’ (The MIT Press, £22, ISBN 9780262047371), events that have journalists scrambling to deploy that much-overused epithet ‘unprecedented’ inevitably tend to produce ‘unreproducible’ observations, which is something scientists like to avoid where possible.

The body, which represents UK manufacturers, blamed the forecast on increasing costs across the board, tighter fiscal and monetary policy and weakening consumer demand. The results, which were based on a survey of 330 firms, suggest the UK’s manufacturers are headed for “a perfect storm” the body said. Manufacturing is forecast to contract by -3.2 per cent in 2023, which comes on the back of a forecast -4.5 per cent contraction this year.
