Got that Monday morning feeling? This is one of the best jobs in policy around. A week to go before this fantastic job opportunity closes.

Takes some book to get me to work on a Saturday, 7.30am, when I've got Covid... Recommend @CormacRussell #RekindlingDemocracy Inspiring me to think through the corners and implications of deprioritising the market in favour of citizen space.

Our take on #LevellingUp:
Good on inequality & a sound analysis of the need for stronger social & institutional capital.
But to deliver a real ‘revolution in local democracy’, it needs a much greater role for the public in decision-making!

Six years since @sarahlonglands & I wrote City Systems (before the Brexit referendum) the penny has finally dropped - new economic geography exacerbates inequality & fails to explain the drivers of growth - will #LevellingUp analysis cut thru across gov? ippr.org/publications/city-s…

We’re playing a leading role in the city becoming carbon neutral by 2030, putting carbon reduction at the heart of council services – making social homes more energy efficient, making it easier and safer for people to walk and cycle, developing green jobs and skills.

Today, world leaders come together to set out ambitious action towards securing global net zero.
We work with communities across the UK who are able to agree on ambitious recommendations to achieve the change we need. We hope world leaders can do the same today.

At PMQs both PM and Leader of Opposition called to speed up Online Harms legislation process. This Bill will need a LOT of scrutiny. We @Involve think deliberative and/or participatory processes must be part of that - here's why.

Early snippets of work of @Involve's hugely exciting Democracy in the UK Assembly, which we are delivering with @ConUnit_UCL ...Members grappling effectively with complexity, showing that democracy "is not, and should not be, an esoteric subject limited to a select few."
