We're delighted to have funded Inclusive Growth Network for the last 4 years. 🔎They have just launched a report looking at the broad impact their work has had on their 14 member organisations. Now, they're looking to scale up their interventions to a national scale! Find out more 🔽

"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…

Really looking forward to chairing what will be an excellent & timely conference for Centre for Progressive Policy 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?

Great to have Jim McMahon MP's keynote at our #IGConf24 speaking to government's commitment to resetting the partnership of power between the centre + our local areas. Setting the scene for our emerging work with The Future Governance Forum (FGF) + Metro Dynamics to evolve on our Inclusive Growth Network

Very much enjoyed hosting the Inclusive Growth conference for Growth and Reform Network. 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 Jim McMahon MP. #IGConf24

Interesting new research from Labour Together 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.

Today saw the release of the long-awaited English Devolution White Paper. An important debate now follows on how we push power from Whitehall and how we promote coherence and collaboration across all tiers of government. Read on for our key takeaways 🧵 lgcplus.com/politics/devol…

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.

It’s great to see Centre for Cities 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)

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 👇
