The onshore wind ban has been in place for 9 years. We've been in government for 72 hours, we've lifted it. That's the pace we're going to move at.

A long, slow, creeping scandal: council funding has been reduced 40% over the last 14 years, while Westminster offloads more and more responsibilities ( like mental health and homelessness) onto councils, so it can claim it’s reduced its own spending. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

One by one, England’s councils are going bankrupt – and nobody in Westminster wants to talk about...

One in five say they will be insolvent by next year. These local crises add up to a national catastrophe that’s about to explode, says the Guardian columnist John Harris

Community activists/local men from Redbridge are speaking out against misogyny. Real Men Talking launched with @Tai___7 offering an overview of what misogyny means for men & why it's men who need to listen up & change their behaviour – not women. Read more redbridge.gov.uk/news/dec-20…

Police squads targeting catcalling men to roll out in London

A Met police chief said there was “no doubt” the roving police squads that fine men for catcalling will be rolled out across the capital

One council in East London has started issuing fines as part of a campaign, 'ThisHasToStop', against cat-calling. Redbridge council has made it an offence, with fines of £100 for offenders. @LizSummers explains more.

🚨🚨 🚨Randomisation Klaxon! 🚨🚨🚨 I'm delighted to announce that @ESRC & @UKRI_News are today launching a £15m funding call for testing policy interventions using "robust counterfactual evaluation methods" - including RCTs, analysis of existing trials data & quasi-experiments

"Those who want to see better government need to beat the drum for the experimental mindset" - great piece by @stianwestlake in @guardianscience on the case for experiments in public policy theguardian.com/books/2023/m…

The big idea: should governments run more experiments?

We’re used to randomised trials in medicine. Why not apply the same rigour to policy?
