Interesting new research from @LabourTogether on people's experiences of devolution in their area. Still so much work to do to make devolution more meaningful in people's lives if it's true potential is to be harnessed.
📣 New report and research 📣. We’ve published ‘Mayoral Matters’ looking at public attitudes to mayors and devolution in the parts of England which have actually experienced it. 🧵 below with my five takeaways. [1/10].

Very proud of what team @IGN_tweets @CentreProPolicy has achieved over the past four years in supporting places to advance what inclusive growth means for the UK, grounded in real world practice. But this is just the beginning.
In 2020 we launched the Inclusive Growth Network, with four years of grant funding from @jrf_uk. Read our Impact Report, which sets out how the IGN has become a thriving, successful network, with real-world impact👇. 🧵1/6.
