1/ Our new Prime Minister just confirmed that they will set up new mission boards to drive through the missions in government as IPPR recommended earlier this year ippr.org/articles/missi…. Some thoughts on how to make these work.

1/ Delighted that Keir Starmer will meet with Mayors on Tuesday - sends the right signal that we are living in a new era. Having spent a good chunk of the last few weeks interviewing the Mayors and their teams here are a few thoughts on what is needed!

Some thoughts from us on priorities for the home sec on migration and asylum in first 100 days. Including: - cooperating with EU on channel crossings - tackling asylum backlog - reviewing points based system - learning lessons of Windrush scandal

Excellent, rapid work by Parth Patel IPPR on GE2024 turnout (lowest share of the population to vote since universal suffrage) Higher in places w/ big proportion of older people, homeowners - lower where Muslim population and people from minority ethnic backgrounds is high

One-half of adults in this country cast a ballot at the election. This is the lowest share of the population to vote since universal suffrage. The first steps to fixing this are straightforward. Our report "Half of Us" is in today's The Guardian theguardian.com/politics/artic…

How does opinion map across Labour constituencies on the big issues likely to shape this Parliament? 🧵on some MRP research for IPPR/Persuasion UK out, featured in The New Statesman today. We find significant 'room for manoeuvre' on several issues, less so others. /15

More good news for Lab on Net Zero. Every constituency bar 2 (Clacton & Boston) shares the view we should be moving faster on climate. Again, not a blank cheque - but shows you backlash to NZ still mostly confined to right-leaning media echo chambers. persuasionuk.org/opinion-maps/n…

I’m back IPPR North after seven weeks of leave. If you’ve been in touch over this period & you’re yet to get a response, please do (re)forward your message or email & I’ll respond as soon as possible. Great to be back 🙌

Want to come and join me and the amazing IPPR team in building a more prosperous and fairer Britain? This has to be one of the most exciting jobs going in Westminster at this exciting moment for progressive politics! ippr.org/jobs/head-of-a…

A few years ago I spent quite a lot of time in Harehills doing in-depth research with communities there. It was an area that faced lots of challenges, yes. But...

As we imagined, the ABS was never going to be implemented. An unfortunate waste of time and resource. However, great to see the work of teachers unions reflected in pay negotiations. It’s a start towards raising the status of teaching again.

We (@cthomasippr and I) have just published a new report. We find that: The UK is facing a growing health crisis, impacting not only retirees but also the working-age population. More people are working through sickness, and the cost of this has grown by £25 billion since 2018.

Absolutely brilliant job available IPPR leading our environment, energy security and nature work, now that @LukeSMurphy has become an MP! Do take a look and share widely 👇 ippr.org/jobs/associate…

It's absolutely devastating that Muslims and People of Colour are fearing leaving the house today because of the very real threat of far right violence. We can be better than this as a country, and we must be.

Big news for UK industry and the nascent CCS sector. If this package is enough to get projects to a final investment decision - and the noises from industry are positive - then it is huge moment in the UK's net zero transition. businessgreen.com/news/4366598/r…

Families have paid the price of the energy bill crisis, driven by our reliance on international gas markets. We are overturning this legacy by investing in homegrown, cleaner energy 👇🏾 x.com/SkyNews/status…

A very special call this Christmas.
