Compared to its peers, public & private investment in the UK as a share of GDP is chronically low. @sarahgor & @asvalero present practical solutions for the UK govt to mobilise private investment for its economic, environmental & social priorities.

Every £1 of taxpayer money can mobilise many more multiples of private capital to meet the UK’s most pressing public policy needs. My new report shows how this can be done accountably and effectively.

A fantastic first day #WHS2023 ! Strong recognition of the intertwined nature of climate & pandemic risks. Building pandemic resilience requires more money, better coordination at all levels, and effective partnerships.

@AnnJohn30914404 @LabourList @GRI_LSE PFI was - among other things - a failed attempt to shift public responsibilities off the public balance sheet. This is not what is being advocated for here. Plenty of examples now of blended finance that delivers desired outcomes for public and private investors.

The real issue around Richard Sharp: That the Tories narrowed the talent pool for major public jobs to the levels where it numbered only Brexit allies and those close enough to Boris Johnson to worry about his wealth. (from February)
