Brilliant blog from @adamterryfgf.bsky.social on the PMs speech & our emerging thinking at FGF: We need a state which disrupts but also creates (that's what sets progressives apart from populists) and where the PM has hit his stride abroad, it's time for a coalition of the willing on home turf
Keir Starmer is right we’re in a new era. We need a transformed state to rise to its challenges @adamterryfgf.bsky.social sets out why the PM should:
* Turn govt inside out
* Disrupt & create
* Lead with purpose
* Build a coalition of the willing in the UK

It’s been a hell of a year helping get FGF up on its feet and a huge privilege to learn from everyone who has joined our growing forum of thinkers and doers. Feeling very proud of the team.
This time last year, FGF launched with a mission to shape a new operating system for the UK.
It’s been a successful first year, publishing impactful research on mission-driven government, devolution and the transition to power, alongside numerous events including our first Labour Party Conference.
