Inside Briefing with the Institute for GovernmentPolitical analysis and big thinking for more effective government. Author: Institute for Government
The first Labour government in 14 years is facing a daunting to-do list and complex challenges at every turn. Public services are under strain. The civil service is under pressure. And ministers must deliver the governments missions and milestones. But could Keir Starmers plan to rewire the British state through using AI and creating a start-up culture turn these challenges into opportunities? So where is government working well and what is it doing badly? What can be done to make No10, the Treasury and the rest of government function more effectively? What can Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves do to achieve faster economic growth? What will Kemi Badenochs Conservatives and the other opposition parties do to hold the government to account? How might Donald Trump shape British politics and how could the UKs relations with the EU change in the years ahead? Get behind the scenes in Westminster, Whitehall and beyond on the weekly podcast from Britains leading governmental think tank, where we analyse the latest events in politics and explain what they mean. Every week on Inside Briefing, IfG director Hannah White and the team welcomes special guests for a thought-provoking conversation on what makes government work and how to fix it when it doesnt.
