Asked Kimi K3 what it would do as UK PM to return North England to being among the richest economies in the world. Best answer yet. From any model.

You can just do things. I’m lucky enough to live close to an incredible little park that has been adopted by local volunteers. On Saturday we removed a metal shutter that’s been in place for 30 years and installed a new window. One of many such micro-projects undertaken every year. There are lots of skilled people out there, who by dedicating just one day a month can really help improve their local community. There really is a need for: 1) Matching volunteers with local projects 2) Communicating this need and the outcomes 3) Councils cutting the red tape and allowing locals to just get on with it Makes me wonder if there is a framework that could be developed and shared with local councils.

Today ICON launches its interim report, Think Neighbourhoods. The report identifies 613 ‘mission critical’ neighbourhoods that have around 1 million people living in them and furthest away from progress on government missions. We need to target support at these areas so that they can be mission ready and make progress on the government’s agenda. You can read our report here:neighbourhoodscommission.org… Thanks to our great commissioners!

Leeds is probably the most unlucky city in Western Europe 🎭 European City of Culture funding? Sorry we're leaving the EU. 🚄HS2? Sorry we spent too much in the chilterns. 🛫New Airport terminal? Sorry that's not climate friendly, but London Airport expansions are fine. (1/X)

Employment by central government, local government, and public corporations since 1949 in Britain. Just did the 2024 update. What a huge change in the composition of the state. I have some very political views about the big changes, but I'll leave them for another thread.

Once upon a time, Leeds had trams, lots of them. They helped people get to work, come to the centre to shops and to meet each other for work and play. But then, catastrophically, for the city's long term future and prosperity in 1959....

Congratulations to all the recipients of our Safer Communities Fund! We’re taking money from criminals and putting it back into the heart of our communities – funding grassroots organisations so that they can continue doing incredible work.
The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of West Yorkshire are stood with all the recipients of the Safer Communities Fund. The recipients are holding giant cheques. Everyone is smiling to camera.
