Nearly a year into government, and two years since the Government's missions were announced, how's it going? Today we have published our evidence to the House of Commons and their inquiry into mission government. It draws on our paper 'Mission control' from 2024. re-state.co.uk/publications...

"The problem in Britain today is that when those trade-offs involve risk, we too often default to the status quo, and the consequences are becoming severe." There is no alternative to a radical rewiring of Whitehall. @chriscurtis94.bsky.social makes the case 👉 re-state.co.uk/publications...

The long-established Reform think tank, which has been offering ideas to Westminster policymakers for almost 25 years, will now be known as Re:State.

Whitehall needs to shrink so empowered regions can grow Lord Jim O'Neill on why we need to go further with devolution, including giving tax raising powers Read his argument here - re-state.co.uk/publications...

V excited for this next week! 🔥 What's it really like working inside Downing Street? What works, what doesn't? How does the machine need to change?

Honoured to contribute to this excellent and very timely report on #neighbourhoodhealth from @reformthinktank.bsky.social @patrickking.bsky.social @floconway.bsky.social definitely for @adphuk.bsky.social @fphuk.bsky.social @lgawellbeing.bsky.social @evefrancisholt.bsky.social @smhopkins.bsky.social

it was great to work on this with @patrickking.bsky.social and discover so many great examples of integrated health services designed by local leaders, with local people, for local people W the 10yr Plan looming, Govt must make sure the conditions are there so that more of this can thrive...

A big day in @reformthinktank.bsky.social towers yday as the pipeline from research to visible impact suddenly became very short As ever, announcing is much easier than implementing. So I wanted to re-share the reports that detail our thinking, to help w/ next steps🧵

A few wks ago I asked whether NHSE is impossible to lead... and I guess Govt agreed...! At @reformthinktank.bsky.social, we have written extensively on the need for greater devolution in the health service to deliver a truly preventative, ppl-centred health system reform.uk/comment/is-t...

I write in @labourlist.bsky.social on why the PM’s decision to focus on the performance of public bodies should be applauded 👇 t.co/YUsP8ijz48

Civil service reform has a tendency to focus on policy & a proportionately small number employed in SW1. If the PM is serious about rewiring the State, he must also focus on the 60% of day-to-day spending through public bodies. A quick🧵on our report Quangocracy, from last week

When we talk about ‘rewiring the State’, this is the big prize that very few governments have thought strategically about or gripped. Delighted to have our report on the future of public bodies out today.
