Good to see the Mayfield Review launched.
The rise in health-related inactivity is bad for workers, employers, and public finances.
If we want to address this rise, we need to keep people well in work. That will require stronger incentives & better support for employers.

Strong results in New Jersey and Virginia, and an outstanding performance by Mamdani in New York.
Signs of hope for the Democrats.
We’ll be exploring the lessons for progressives in the next edition of Fabian Review out next month.

The Chancellor has today indicated taxes will rise at the budget.
She reaffirmed her fiscal rules. But OBR’s downgrade to productivity will create a big fiscal gap.
She has said - rightly - said that there will be no return to austerity.
So that means taxes will need to go up.
