@ce_pickles As you know in our industry it’s the thought leadership that takes time. Concept design started last year and execution took my lunch break yesterday.
Mayors already cover most of the North, and soon they'll cover the whole country.
Our NEW report calls for mayors to have control over a 5% share of income tax, DOUBLING their annual funding.
That's more they can choose to spend on transport, housing, and high streets 👇👇
It looks like the government will have to (quietly) drop its flagship NHS promise (to cut NHS hospital waiting lists) writes @Jamesillman ahead of the Labour Party conference https://t.co/RoSVooUL2s
3 things to note on all the current tax debates:
1. Raising the income tax Personal Allowance does *not* benefit those on the lowest incomes most. It's people in the richest half of the country who mostly benefit.
(Although mainly middle earners rather than the very rich.)
Excited to be relaunching @IPPR's journal of politics, ideas and public policy, Progressive Review, with a new look, new editorial team and a new advisory board.

Following a month of failing to convince X moderators that I’m a lowly health policy commentator, not an adult entertainment producer, I’ve bitten the bullet and started a new account.
Follow for (occasionally funny?) musings about all things NHS, care and public health!
Right call, though I fear untold damage has already been done to independent patient voice given the uncertainty of the last year.
A lot of work to do to get us back to where we were…
