At @nestauk.bsky.social event, @timleunig.bsky.social, chief economist and furlough scheme architect, says many other countries already had furlough schemes before Covid and asks why UK govt departments don’t have international units studying policy success in other countries (many thinktanks do).

Thanks @theguardian.com but I’m not sure *signing up for another email newsletter* is going to help me combat the overwhelming nature of modern life…

Just a phenomenal sentence from the Guardian live blog. Gotta love parliamentary democracy.

Fab to now be joined by @samfr.bsky.social as half of Power Test podcast with conference host Ayesha Hazarika and guests @claire-ainsley.bsky.social @dhnnjyn.bsky.social & Annabel Smith. The conversation will be recorded for a special episode of the pod: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

On the opening panel, @alfie-stirling.bsky.social says the UK is in an unenviable position of having both a serious growth problem AND an inclusive growth problem - and the second problem, although less publicised, is worse #IGConf24

Always exciting to see the beautiful branding IRL for @centrepropolicy.bsky.social #IGConf24! Today’s the day - come and say hi if you’ll be here.
