Great to see these signals abound - always up for a bit of LT strategic & collaborative approach...
Now let's see serious structural change enabling this to happen: from funding flows, to incentives, to planning cycles. See this #UKHMG@soifutures report

Spot on from new @cabinetofficeuk minister @Georgia_Gould- there’s a massive waste of money in the system when central govt doesn't work effectively with #localgov and forces short termism over taking a long term, strategic & collaborative approach. https://t.co/7UclHfIsjb
The more deprived the constituency, the lower the turnout. Only one truly effective solution to this - which lots of people will hate ('The answer is to enthuse people, not compel them') and so won't ever happen - COMPULSORY VOTING. Source: @TomHCalver https://t.co/03SXJ98lsb
Getting used to the new office!
The work begins to deliver the change that Aylesbury voted for.
Thank you to the House of Commons staff for such a warm and smooth welcome.
Democrats need to stop talking about saving "democracy." They need to start talking about saving "freedom."
That's what at stake here — Project 2025 *is* an anti-freedom agenda — and "freedom" is the only thing that resonates with the majority of Americans.
This. #Thrutopia
We simply must co-imagine a world in which we make it through. Not a wish-fulfilment fantasy world in which everything becomes utopically perfect! Rather, a gritty, real picture, but nevertheless more or less flourishing despite and because of the trouble.

Final MRP poll from @Survation. Far too close for comfort. Come on Lib Dems, Greens, people undecided: A vote for anyone but Labour just gives you 5 more years of Conservatives in Aylesbury. Let’s make this change happen! #VoteLabour

The UK's short-termism in politics leads to voter disillusionment, especially among the youth. It's time for a governance approach that looks beyond the next electoral cycle. Read insights from @thomasnhale and SOIF MD @CatTullyFOH on why this matters below. #UKElections2024
"There is no 'silver bullet' for overcoming short-termism in politics. But there are dozens of useful innovations that make a meaningful difference in how we conduct public business," write @thomasnhale of @BlavatnikSchool and @CatTullyFOH of @SOIFutures

Just heard that #hurricaneBeryl is now a CAT 5 storm heading for Jamaica in JUNE. 10 years ago I spoke about working hard to avoid what is now a reality today. My heart is literally broken.

Politicians are promising a better tomorrow. The future of democracy depends on their ability to deliver it
Read @thomasnhale & my blog: the failure to address long-term problems & give people a meaningful future is contributing to decline in confidence in democracy
