It's here! Happy employment status consultation day. First thoughts: this is great, and pretty much what we @thefabians.bsky.social and @jrf-uk.bsky.social recommended earlier this year. Great work @katedeardenmp.bsky.social, Jonathan Reynolds and teams. Quick 🧵

I'm in the growth pamphlet here, trying to answer how to communicate the politics of growth. I argue the centre-left should amplify dividing lines around the means of delivering growth ('why is a progressive govt best equipped to achieve greater prosperity'), rather than the (pretty abstract) ends.

Really interesting - especially with the coming consultation on employment status Self-employment looks a bad model, whether you care about workers rights, quality of service, or both! Treating workers poorly means poor customer service www.citizensadvice.org.uk/policy/publi...

We do not have a snowflake generation, says Alan Milburn. They are remarkably resilient given everything they have faced. ‘It’s not a shortage of effort on their part, it’s a shortage of opportunity.’ #Lab26

Fantastic to hear the Chancellor make the case for local apprenticeship services, to support employers and young people, backed by £100m of devolved funding. We made the case for this in our recent @thefabians.bsky.social report www.fabians.org.uk/publication/pathways-to-apprenticeships/

Healey talks of the 'moral duty' of welfare reform. He criticises a 'system that offers an income, but not a future' and points toward the upcoming Milburn Review. @thefabians.bsky.social will host Alan Millburn in-conversation with Sir Charlie Mayfield, tomorrow at 9am at @thebluecoat.bsky.social

Chancellor commits to 'balance the books with a buffer to protect against uncertainty'. Suggests he won't seek to manage pressures on public finances mainly through reducing headroom #Lab26
