How to prevent a Trump-style rise here? Good early thoughts from @UCLPolicyLab:. 💷 Relentless focus on the everyday economy.🔧 Bottom-up redesign of public services + social safety net.🤝 Only in our shared connection and humanity can we build a hopeful politics for the future.
“It is worth reflecting on the need for Democrats, and those who share their politics more broadly, to once again confront how many ordinary Americans view them as distant from their everyday concerns”. Early reflections from the team here @UCLPolicyLab.

Great piece from Josh reflecting on the Budget, which shares common ground with @duncanrobinson's excellent Economist column from the other day.

This sounds great. Sure it'll open up a few old factional wounds within the Labour Party.

Lots to agree with in here. That's one of the reasons we @powertochange_ champion a community-powered high street, so they become the beating civic heart of local places again. Our 2023 report 👉

Big picture of my face to show we're pleased with @RachelReevesMP emphasis our high streets - partic. as a meeting place for local communities - and that business tax reform plans are a good move. There will be some short term pain, as rates relief are cut, for longer term gain.
It’s important that the next stages of the Government’s business tax reform plans also recognise the wider contributions of the diverse community business sector in improving social and economic productivity of our high streets and providing a meeting place for local communities.

Our full #Budget2024 take 👇👇.
Pre-#Budget2024, we identified £2.5bn of levelling up funding that was stuck in limbo. Ending the uncertainty and honouring the commitments made to communities is the right choice for government to make – one we commend them for making in difficult circumstances.

My colleague Jess has it spot on, on business rates 👇👇
It's good to see govt outlining first steps on business rates reform, with a focus on reviving high streets and recognising their role as 'hubs of economic activity' that 'provide a meeting place for local communities' - to which community businesses are a major contributor.
