Looks like a pretty radical report from George Osborne's think tank "England’s funding system for local government should ‘cut out’ Treasury" - on.ft.com/3yXcL5b via @FT

Lovely to contribute to The Times's International Women's Day article on women who inspire us. I went for Laura Kuenssberg, and there are loads of other brilliant women picked by my colleagues too: thetimes.co.uk/article/she-st…

Classic tension in (British) policy when considering how to support growth. Levelling-up department talks about places. HMT talks about sectors. Ever thus.

Enlightening! I had not realised that Mandarin (the government official variety) was an international language… although disappointed not to see “pitch rolling” included

It's been about 6 months since I started a job in government. The learning curve can be steep at first — especially if you're unfamiliar with the parlance of bureaucrats. For the uninitiated, here's a 🧵 with some commonly used phrases and what they mean in plain English:

@JenWilliams_FT But isn’t exactly this a neutral position? eg to help places understand process and inform decisions at the centre. Not the fault of officials, but reflecting the realities of the power / resource / decision dynamics and not the “lobbying” for places @JenWilliams_FT reports

@JenWilliams_FT Previous incarnations of regional officers tended to act more as central gov messengers taking neutral position rather than “go-to” place embedded champions - not convinced the seniority of the levelling up directors would fundamentally have changed that dynamic.

@ahawksbee And, as with other competitive public funding pots, risks missing the wood for the trees. A myopic focus on apportionment of public £ and outputs for individual projects, not wider place based outcomes / ambitions

Problem with excessive focus on Levelling Up Fund (& UKSPF) is it implies levelling up is all about public money. Test should be whether public £ unlocks private £. In previous regen attempts, it hasn't. Andy Street agreed £4bn regen deal with L&G last year. Same as entire LUF!

no conversation about the £2bn round 2 of the levelling-up fund should ignore the cut in annual government funding to councils from £41bn to £26bn since 2010

Local authorities gave evidence to the Levelling Up, Housing & Communities Committee earlier this week about the funding streams available to them. A thread on what I learned:
