Fantastic new @instituteforgov report from @BCA_Allen, @AkashPaun and Gabriel Byrne exploring the Sewel convention - a key mechanism for coordination between UK and devolved governments - though 5 case studies.
Excited that our research on the Sewel convention has been published today. We look at five UK acts of parliament passed between 2019-24 to investigate what happened in the legislative consent process, and what lessons can be learnt.

A useful comment piece and thread from @matthew_fright on the importance of local accountability arrangements for the English devolution agenda
Moves announced in last week's Autumn Budget to give mayors more powers more control over budgets are welcome, but in a new @instituteforgov blog I argue that attention also needs to be paid to local accountability arrangements 🧵
