Personal news, as they say…
I’m honoured and excited to be appointed Chief Executive of the Nuffield Foundation (starting in January 2025). It’s such an important institution with a vital mission, great team & huge role to play in the years ahead.

Delighted that Ruth Curtice will be the next Chief Executive of @resfoundation. Ruth is a great talent who will thrive at RF. I’ll leave knowing we have a brilliant leader to take the organisation and its wonderful team into a new era.

Keep reading/hearing the Budget results in a ‘massive expansion of the state’. Hang on. Here’s what is actually happening to overall public expenditure.
Have been saying this a lot over recent days.....
Increased employer NICs, together with (welcome) strengthening of employee protection, means other steps must be taken to close the tax gap between employees & self-employed. Dealing with single worker status becomes more important. This can’t be kicked to a future parliament.

With so much focus on public investment/debt rule, there is a slight risk that the scale of the challenge on day-to-day spending is understated in the current debate.

Bigger picture: it's a brutal context for a first Budget – there's nothing left to cut & big increases in taxes on stagnant incomes is just very hard - don’t let anyone suggest otherwise.
For all the detail on the budget context and key choices read this briefing by the excellent @carapacitti.bsky.social @emilyfry.bsky.social @jamessmithrf.bsky.social

What a great appointment to a vital role.
I am grateful to UNSG @antonioguterres for this opportunity to serve.
I will defend the humanitarian community, humanitarian values, and the people we serve.
You are going to be hearing an awful lot about different possible fiscal rules over the next 4 weeks, so worth reading this short explainer by the excellent @JamesSmithRF @carapacitti
Also, this stuff is seriously fiddly with lots of measurement/technical issues. If there is going to be a significant shift I do hope they set a direction then consult on the details and take the time needed to get it right.

What a fine, moving, personal piece by @anandMenon1. Going to (try to) make my kids read this.
