In a context where borrowing costs continue to rise and fiscal rules are tight, drawing creatively on the full suite of policy and reform tools to support growth will gain even greater urgency without the option to raise spending. This means working creatively with place 👇.

There is much to celebrate in the English Devolution White Paper, but we need to be realistic about what it is - a first step towards embedding more meaningful power for places. More from me below.

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.

I spoke to the potential to be harnessed through working in genuine partnership with mayors and local leaders, and creating policy closer to communities. With @ayeshahazarika @Samfr @claire_ainsley @dhnnjyn.

The UK government should further empower England’s metro mayors in order to unlock their full potential

The progressive change needed can't be delivered by central gov alone. It requires a partnership between central, regional and local gov, business and trade unions, both to develop the new ideas and policies to implement them.
