Why support for the Assisted Dying Bill is ebbing away in Parliament even as the legislation is launched - my column for @theipaper inews.co.uk/opinion/assist…
Moves announced in last week's Autumn Budget to give mayors more powers more control over budgets are welcome, but in a new @instituteforgov blog I argue that attention also needs to be paid to local accountability arrangements 🧵
My take for @instituteforgov A genuinely big budget that aligns the government’s fiscal numbers more closely with their rhetoric and ambition instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/rachel…
Two charts that show this is a genuinely consequential budget that changes the direction on spending
Integrated settlements for Greater Manchester and the West Midlands for 2025/26 confirmed in today's budget - though exact funds tbc. The gov have also released new criteria for deciding which combined authorities will be next in line.
More details on local government finances: - Core spending power to increase by 3.2% in real terms in 2025/26 - That's pretty much exactly in line with the average annual increase of 3.1% per year since 2019/20

This is the first part of our research in this area. We will be looking at how to develop a good local economic strategy, drawing on past case studies. If you have any good examples, please do fill in our survey (thanks to those who already have!) 10/10 forms.gle/kuo2Tf3JJpVdZV…
For local places to do this well, they need to know more about central govt's growth strategy, inc the industrial strategy, and what powers and funding they have. This is where getting the sequencing right is so important [see crazy graphic, h/t @melissaittoo] 5/10
New @instituteforgov report out today from me and @RMCMcKee looks at the govt's proposed Local Growth Plans that each mayor has been tasked with developing TL;DR: a promising innovation, but govt needs to get their purpose and the sequencing right instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/lo… 1/10

If devo agenda is to take a different (sustainable, inclusive) course, then also centre-local relations must do the same. As long as Treasury orthodoxy & top-down impositions persist, no real change will happen. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
How can ministers bring external support into departments? There are other individuals, beside officials, who can be brought in to help ministers. Our latest explainer from @FinnBaker3 takes a close look at how they can do this instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/mini…
A really useful explainer from @instituteforgov on the different definitions of debt. It feels inherently more reasonable to use the version that nets off the student asset (future repayments of loans)-what is wrong with that? instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/how-…
