@artsindustrymag @BritishArts @WestMids_CA This is factually incorrect. Skinder is not stepping down from British Council. His role with the West Midlands Cultural Leadership Board is voluntary and we are delighted to have him on board.

Levelling Up White Paper said that the Leadership College for Government (@LCGgovuk) would launch this month, with locations in the Midlands, North East, and Yorkshire Anybody heard anything? Genuine question - interested to find out about their model (@AlexGAThomas?)

@ahawksbee @WestMids_CA Thanks Adam. Great shoes to fill.

@WestMids_CA are looking for a Head of Policy & Public Affairs to develop their trailblazer devolution deal and be the key link between the CA & Whitehall. I couldn't recommend this job more - happy to chat with anyone interested! wmca.org.uk/careers/curren…

Working in a #thinktank & want to get closer to the action? Determined to move #LevellingUp from rhetoric to reality? Stifled by the deadweight of #ukcivilservice? Join us @WestMids_CA & play a leading role in negotiating our #trailblazer third devo deal. wmca.org.uk/careers/curren…

Takes some book to get me to work on a Saturday, 7.30am, when I've got Covid... Recommend @CormacRussell #RekindlingDemocracy Inspiring me to think through the corners and implications of deprioritising the market in favour of citizen space.

And did the lovely lady at @askesure tell you how long they take to process payments in the event of your claim? #4weekslaterstillnothing

“Recovery from a societal ‘shock’ should not mean returning to a pre-existing state.” What can we learn from the West Midlands' approach to recovering from COVID-19? 📑Read the new Viewpoint in Town Planning Review: liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/journals/artic…

Our take on #LevellingUp: Good on inequality & a sound analysis of the need for stronger social & institutional capital. But to deliver a real ‘revolution in local democracy’, it needs a much greater role for the public in decision-making! involve.org.uk/resources/blog…

Six years since @sarahlonglands & I wrote City Systems (before the Brexit referendum) the penny has finally dropped - new economic geography exacerbates inequality & fails to explain the drivers of growth - will #LevellingUp analysis cut thru across gov? ippr.org/publications/c…

@JackHunter_uk and I wrote Rebooting Devolution back in 2017. Who knew how long it would take for the idea of a devo framework to become policy? #LevellingUp ippr.org/files/publicat…

We’re playing a leading role in the city becoming carbon neutral by 2030, putting carbon reduction at the heart of council services – making social homes more energy efficient, making it easier and safer for people to walk and cycle, developing green jobs and skills.

@IPPRNorth Here’s one you missed that I think was particularly good … and increasingly relevant 😉 ippr.org/files/2017-10/…

It’s our 18th birthday! Today we celebrate the difference we've made to the North & regions so far We were here long before the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ or ‘Levelling Up’ & we’re proud of the bold, progressive impact we've had. Here are just some of our favourite pieces of work 🧵

According to @ClimateEmergUK the @WestMids_CA has the best climate action plan in the country Massive well done to @JacqHoman @CherylHiles and the wide team!

Community Green Grants are now live! We've made funding available to enable our communities to create projects that will help tackle green deprivation. Read more here: orlo.uk/YbYDn @CRTWestMidlands @HoECF
