🚨 | NEW REPORT: No one should be pushed into homelessness after leaving asylum accommodation. Ministers must act now to prevent a repeat of the 2023 spike - with enough notice, earlier council data and practical move-on support. 🔗 ippr.org/articles/closi…

Once again, we are seeing a tragic event being exploited by the far right - this time in Belfast - to sow division, target people of colour and incite violence. Something has to change. Here's our response 👇

Big news: @roapowell and I today started an AI & economics substack, Model Economy. AI will likely transform our economy & society in dramatic ways. Decisions we make today will likely shape who gains, who loses & what the future looks like. Let's go! modeleconomy.substack.com/p/ai-jobs-pred…

Great to see the @LibDems adopt our recommendation! Energy network companies (which are responsible for building and maintaining the electricity grid) are expected to make around £5 billion in excess profits between 2021 and 2026. These profits sit well above the returns originally judged necessary to deliver investment. A regulatory clawback mechanism could return excess network profits directly to households.

Every single household in Britain should be able to afford their basic everyday energy needs. Families deserve stability, not sticking-plaster solutions. Our Essential Energy Guarantee would use the huge windfall profits of the big energy network operators to cut your bills.

Communities deserve high streets they can trust. Local leaders should be given the long term fiscal levers to prioritise the needs of their neighbourhoods - putting that vital decision making closer to the source. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great news @AndyBurnhamGM has suggested an online sales tax to put into high street. I’ve long argued we need a more structural reform to solve this problem that a giveaway here or there!

This is a big part (though not all) of the solution to our high street crisis. We have long called for an online sales tax with revenues used to reinvigorate high streets @IPPR ippr.org/articles/busin…

A growing body of evidence is making the case for action on rent affordability in the private rented sector. Three important reports published in recent weeks deserve serious attention. 🧵⬇️ :

Can hosting big sporting tournaments like the Open bring benefits for the North? They can, but only if communities and regions are considered from the beginning. Here's @northernmaeve for @BBCNWT 👇

Up to 8 million jobs in the UK are exposed to AI. But a jobs apocalypse is not inevitable. A new generation of workers' rights can protect workers and ensure everyone benefits from this new technology. @evansjoseph_ explains 👇

This essay by @AndyBurnhamGM is spot on. thetimes.com/article/a69df7… It is exactly the argument I made yesterday on @BBCNews New Labour achieved a lot - but it’s failed to rewire the economy for justice. And that is a big part of the anger people feel today.

Tony Blair is right that Labour needs a serious debate about its future, but that debate can’t just be about the solutions of the past. Simply returning to the economic model of the 1990s won’t answer today’s challenges. 📺 @harry_qp on @BBCNews 👇

Brilliant explainer by @wesstreeting about why it’s unfair that someone earning their money from assets pays less than the majority of us who earn it from work! IPPR has been advocating for this for years - great that there is a debate opening up about it.

And yes, rental growth has slowed as wage growth has fallen. But to use the 'horse that's bolted' metaphor, our proposal ensures that when wage growth recovers, tenants can begin to close the gap with the horse. (4/4)

The provision of new build homes is no longer highly dependent on buy-to-let. Only 8% of new builds go straight into the rental sector, and most of this is larger scale "build-to-rent" investment, which would be exempt for 10 years under our proposal. (3/4)

It's exactly the right time.🧵 It’s not only those in the capital who are struggling. 76% of renters live outside London and, even in the North East - the region with the lowest rate of unaffordable private renting - 18% of renters still face unaffordable housing costs. (1/4)
