Hopefully this makes clear why we need to rethink the areas outside our schools…

🧵 10 highlights from our new 10,000 person @Moreincommon_ study with @UCLPolicyLab 1) Keir Starmer may only have won a third of the vote but the public overwhelmingly believe he has a mandate to change Britain, with even majorities of Tory & Reform voters agreeing.

This is why drawing lines is terrible and the semi automatic system with a 3D model is needed.

Labour manifesto: "We will act to improve access to universities."
Small prediction: what happens to OfS leadership, and conditions of widening access to universities set by SoS, may be more interesting & consequential than the narrow debate around VAT on school fees

Really glad to see ‘local government’ back in the title of the department, because it is a real thing that actually exists. Unlike ‘levelling up’, which was always a vague aspiration.

Understand that Angela Rayner told DLUHC staff today that “she won’t be doing a Rees mogg with passive aggressive notes, those days are over.”
Also said dept will revert to its former title of “Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Govt.”

Rupert was George Osborne’s chief advisor. In 2010 the government he worked for inherited an NHS with record satisfaction, new school buildings and properly funded local government. He and Osborne set about destroying it. On Thursday the voters of Bicester told him to get lost.

This claim by Rachel Reeves is objectively simply not true. The 2010 public finances inheritance was far far worse, with a budget deficit over 10% of GDP and a vast banking system on government life support.

Proofs through for a very exciting article which shows how UPR recommendations - bilateral state-made human rights recommendations - can be used by lawyers & judges in the UK.

Wow, that was quick.
The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power.
Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals"
