Great piece from NEF's Dr. Abi O'Connor on the need for Labour to focus more squarely on delivering council & social housing, as opposed to the broader category of 'affordable' housing, which for those at the sharp end of the housing crisis is anything but theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is wild. Announcing changes to the PIP assessment with little rationale beyond saving £5bn, which is downgraded to £3.4bn by the OBR, then scrambling around to make further cuts to help meet fiscal rules based targets. None of this is being led by evidence or people's needs

Some thoughts ahead of the Chancellor's #SpringStatement later today. Sticking to arbitrary fiscal rules is a choice & cutting spending is unlikely to deliver savings in the long run. Follow NEF for updates and commentary during the day.

Rachel Reeves claims she's focused on improving living standards but cuts announced today will almost certainly undermine the growth that's been forecast. Hannah Peaker reacts to the Spring Statement.

The cuts in aid to pay for more defence spend is heartbreaking & wrongheaded. A party elected on a manifesto to "turn the page" on development is turning its back on world’s poorest & Britain’s strategic interests. My #SpringStatement reaction The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We cannot cut our way to growth. In fact, @nef analysis shows that cuts have a persistent negative effect on growth, such as through reduced demand and increased poverty, meaning that GDP could be up to £12.6bn lower by 2029 – 30 wiping out savings from cuts

"The government needs to protect people from harm with the same zeal as it attempts to build its reputation for fiscal competence" - wise words from Paul Kissack of Joseph Rowntree Foundation theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

"I would replace the House of Lords with a House of the People": Danny Sriskandarajah's radical proposal for British democratic reform: newhumanist.org.uk/articles/6394

To fix our democracy & deliver a resilient UK, later is too late. It's now or never. Exciting to walk away from our workshop at #Anthropy25 alongside NEF, Institute for Government and Compassion in Politics with a firm commitment from attendees to pursue citizens assemblies as a top priority.

🚨The chancellor's spring statement has reinforced the austerity doom loop the country is stuck in. Only by replacing the fiscal rules can we get out of this cycle of austerity and economic decline.

“I think it is just like something straight out of an economics textbook that doesn't bear any relation to people's lived experience.” Tom Pollard on whether this government's benefits cut will help people into work in the The Independent independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

This government has just approved the expansion of Luton airport. But, as new NEF analysis shows, airport expansion isn't a magic bullet for economic growth. In fact it's bad news for our domestic tourism industry as more holidaymakers will leave from Luton than arrive.

Extreme wealth isn’t accidental - it’s a product of a broken system that lets the super rich exploit resources, dodge taxes and control politics. We need to draw a line. The Extreme Wealth Line. 1/3

We have a poverty line - the point below which people don’t have enough to get by. Now, we need an Extreme Wealth Line - the point at which someone has more wealth than they could ever spend, where wealth becomes destructive. We’re raising £20,000 to build it. 1/2

Don't miss your chance to DOUBLE your donation. Extreme wealth is threatening our planet, our democracy, and our future. As the super rich plunder Earth’s resources, the rest of us are left vulnerable to the devastating impacts.👇🏽1/2
