The X algorithm is obviously completely shot to pieces. Bluesky still seems not to have cracked it though. In a very different (non far right propaganda-y) way - my entire timeline is just stuff about indie games, that I have no special interest in at all

The two most important lines in the English Devolution White Paper 1 - a huge (long overdue) shake up of public service boundaries that will make cross-cutting service reform much easier to implement 2 - a big shift of responsibility for delivery to new Strategic Authorities

Great piece - probably the best thing you’ll read on “where are we now, where are we heading” ahead of the publication of the English Devolution white paper

This move is a reversal of successive Govts’ policy since 2010 which has in effect removed deprivation-based formula. Although change= winners & losers, there’s a clear rationale & detail to bring forward wider measures to stabilise funding is good overall... www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Royal Society provided a glorious sunny setting for the annual @centrepropolicy.bsky.social gathering today. Some very good and timely discussions too. Frankly in awe of @dtturner.bsky.social’s ability to maintain this thread (whilst part hosting!?)….

Interesting point from @tomsymons.bsky.social @nestauk.bsky.social: we spend far less on the first year of a citizen’s life vs. their final year, when we know that spending in early years has a much bigger impact. #IGConf24

The Employment White Paper is out. It's got the crispest summary of the gov's approach to more, better jobs I've seen; a welcome focus on devolution (after decades of DWP as a hold-out); and - for Whitehall watchers - a bumper four-way foreword: www.gov.uk/government/p...

We have published our response to the government's consultation on the industrial strategy Green Paper, Invest 2035. Full thing downloadable in this short blog from me, which focusses on some of the areas govt should go much bigger on: www.progressive-policy.net/publications...

Good piece from Sarah o’Connor. Green jobs won’t be everything, they definitely won’t be everywhere. Which is why the government were right to focus the industrial strategy on far more sectors. But only committing real £ to green industries was a mistake. www.ft.com/content/2d00...

The budget increased grant funding for councils by £1.3bn but new research by @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social finds that the rises in NLW and employer NICs could increase their adult social care costs by £2bn www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/wi...

Someone said recently the government would have lost less political capital (and raised a lot more) with broad based tax increases than targeting groups the public are sympathetic to (pensioners, farmers, small businesses). Starting to agree. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/n...
