"The £3.4 billion allocated to Scotland will not resolve all the long-term funding challenges of @scotgov but it could provide a much-needed boost to struggling public services such as health and education." IPPR Scotland director @stephenboydecon reacts to #Budget2024 ⤵️

Built in 1779, The Piece Hall in Halifax is a beacon of civic pride, so it was the perfect setting for IPPR North's annual away day! Thanks @ThePieceHall! 💫

What do washing machines have to teach us about NHS reform? 🫧 Better planning can save money - and avoid a mess in the first place

Years of underinvestment have left the NHS struggling. Funding cuts mean less has been spent on staff and infrastructure, all in the name of 'efficiency'. 📺 #ICYMI: @a_williamson1 discussed the challenges with @JuliaHB1 on @TalkTV

Important clarification - we have been speculating about whether the compensation for public sector employers due to the increased NICs is included in the £3.4bn for 2025-26 - our understanding now is that it is NOT included, it will be additional and negotiated between HMT+depts

There were some things to welcome in today's #Budget, but as our @PK_PovAlliance points out, @RachelReevesMP could have done much more to support people in poverty. povertyalliance.org/news-chancello…

Read this detailed thread on #Budget2024 ⤵️

What to make of #Budget2024 ? Reforming fiscal rules, raising investment and increasing tax revenues to support public services all mark a shift in the right direction. Higher investment is essential to overcoming prolonged economic stagnation @IPPRScotland



IPPR Scotland Reposted

Chancellor name checks @IPPR work with Jim O’Neill on reforming fiscal rules to increase investment at the budget. This is a hugely important shift. ippr.org/articles/budge…

Here we go… #Budget2024 Chancellor opens on “Invest, invest, invest”… we start well. Name checks austerity, Brexit & that mini budget as key failures of past 14 years.


IPPR Scotland Reposted

A polite reminder to everyone talking about levels of tax this afternoon..... Levels of tax as a % of GDP are historically high for the UK but are solidly, unremarkably, mid-pack when compared to other OECD economies

Yes, the Chancellor was dealt an awful hand in the economy she inherited😨 But this is her chance to be bold and focus on public spending and investment 💪 We are keeping our eyes peeled on today's Budget with @IPPR and @IPPRNorth 👀 #Budget2024 heraldscotland.com/news/24672621.…


In which @stephenboydecon lays out the ways in which the Chancellor can deliver a bold budget despite having inherited an economy characterised by low productivity, high inequality, weak investment and rising debt servicing costs. For @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/24672621.…
