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 👇

It’s great to see @CentreforCities highlighting the importance of a place-based approach to Local Growth plans. This is something that IGN members from around the UK have long understood as a key to driving inclusive growth everywhere. (1/3)

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.

Very much enjoyed hosting the Inclusive Growth conference for @CentreProPolicy. Lots of smart discussion about what growth should look & feel like for people & the need for more local decision making & devolution. Great to interview local govt minister @JimfromOldham. #IGConf24

Really looking forward to chairing what will be an excellent & timely conference for @CentreProPolicy examining one of the issues of our time - growth! How do we get it? How do we make it inclusive? What role do the nations & regions play?

"Cities are not mirror images of national governments; they are networks of institutions capable of moving horizontally to deliver collective responses to difficult challenges. Great as ever from @bruce_katz situating UK devolution globally. ft.com/content/4538d9…

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.

Very proud of what team @IGN_tweets @CentreProPolicy has achieved over the past four years in supporting places to advance what inclusive growth means for the UK, grounded in real world practice. But this is just the beginning.
