Councils across the UK are fearing effective bankruptcy. In our latest blog we find council tax rises might be the least-worst option to fund the gap 🧵

Last week the King’s Speech marked the start of the parliamentary year, it sets out the new Labour government’s priorities for the parliamentary year.

@AliceCPugh and @RileyResearch discuss the key takeaways from the King’s Speech.

See our analysis of the King's Speech below and the economic impact on the West Midlands. There are no new announcements in this speech, but stay tuned for our Autumn Statement analysis (22nd of November), might be a little more exciting (but hopefully not mini budget exciting)

[Bham Business School @UoB_Business]

👑 @AliceCPugh from @CityREDI discusses the key announcements within the King's Speech and their economic impacts on the wider West Midlands region.

Excited to see the Megatrends in the Midlands report now published and out in the world. The report asks what are the global megatrends, how will they affect our region, and how can we prepare.

The TLDR 🧵

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

Arts, culture and the wider experience economy trend is key to pride in place and encouraging people into the city centre #BER23

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

Anne Green notes the majority of those economically inactive don't wish to work, and whilst most of these individuals are sick and therefore unable to work, for others which are economically inactive it is largely due to flexibility issues and secure employment issues #BER23

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

Mike Owens heights we need to realign economics, economics is the allocation of scare resources, we need to realign our economy to help those most deprived, to provide opportunity, boost health, improve productivity, improve transport to reduce wasted scarce resources #BER23

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

There are several opportunities however, that face the region and we have to remain positive and engage with people on all the region has to offer

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

Andrew Bostock: Mixed picture in terms of uncertainty, this is very damaging for business conditions in the region #BER23

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

John Cotton: The BER identifies some of the deep challenges that faces the city, however it also demonstrates the opportunities #BER23

[Alice Pugh @AliceCPugh]

The narrative of this year's BER is not quite as clear as it has been in a past, in other years there were opportunities to look forward to such as the Commonwealth games and HS2, now these opportunities aren't quite as clear #BER23

NIESR has found the UK has "lost 5 years of economic growth" as the triple blow of Brexit, COVID and invasion of Ukraine badly affected the economy. Almost like years of public funding cuts, low growth and investment might have left the economy more vulnerable to economic shocks

Bank of England increased interest rates to 5.25% to cool economy. But, demand has been falling. Supply side issues are driving up prices, energy, labour shortages, supply chains (Brexit), low investment and productivity etc. Interest rate rises won't necessarily fix this

It's my favourite fantasy Chancellor @notworknicola Bringing more joy to us about the impact of an interest rate rise

[Sarah Longlands @sarahlonglands]

A quick scan of some of the results show very low turnout rates in many areas. Labour may be doing well but I’m not sure we can say the same for democracy, & certainly not helped by the introduction of voter ID
