The government is (slowly) going Dutch, and it's long past time...
The Dutch had to settle for a draw last night, but they are leading the world on employment🇳🇱
By devolving employment support, and coupling it with welfare and health, job centres built trust.
We highlighted these lessons in our 2024 report ‘Going Dutch’. The govt are now rolling out 180 Dutch-style Youth Hubs👇

@csjthinktank pleased to welcome @ShabanaMahmood plan to strengthen closure orders and shut down criminal high street businesses.
We need to see new closure powers that are instant, easy to use, and that keeps criminals off our high streets.

🚨BREAKING: A renewed @ukhomeoffice effort to crack down on dodgy high street shops is welcome.
But trading standards need stronger powers to shut them down. 96% of standards professionals surveyed said they had encountered organised crime groups @CTSI_UK 🤯
Our plan will set out how we get our high streets back👇
