Nice to see the government now accepting that there's no specific link between NICs payments and public services funding There is barely any connection at all between the amount of NICs paid & the amount of benefits received. & NICs are not hypothecated in any meaninful way...

🚨How much funding may be available to a new Scottish FM to forge deals with other parties? My best estimate: £566m for day-to-day spending on top of 2024-25 budget. See picture for breakdown. Around £300m is earmarked for NHS & councils, meaning £266m still up for grabs?
"If you are a spending minister the tactics you can use really depends on the political situation and the political salience of the issue." @DavidGauke on the political capital different government departments have. Listen to the podcast: linktr.ee/ifszoomsin

Justice is an area in great need of more data-driven research and analysis—we need to know much more about what is changing in the system and the impact it is having. We hope to push that work forward, show why it is important, and help build the research community as we go 2/3

In which I get quite grumpy explaining how govt announced increase in defence spending of £75bn at cost of £4.4bn. Misleading, inconsistent & opaque way of describing an important policy. Labour are no better - promise to reach 2.5% of GDP "when conditions allow" is meaningless
📰 Empty defence spending promises are a shot in the dark @PJTheEconomist in @thetimes today. Read here: thetimes.co.uk/article/empty-…

Public investment could increase if fiscal rules are tweaked. But at present investment set to fall. And within this budget are things you might not expect like student loans. Great 101 from @BenZaranko @TheIFS supported by @finan_fairness @NuffieldFound ifs.org.uk/articles/publi…

Just got back from few incredible days in Tokyo! 🇯🇵 Gave two talks: ✔️India HI paper at the #JADE conference @ide_jetro_eng 🙏 tx++ to my discussant Takashi Kurosaki ✔️#Menopause #Penalty paper @UTokyo_News_en, v engaged audience 🙌! 🙏 tx++ @HitoshiShigeoka for the invite!
Here’s one for the fiscal nerds: In recent years, as much as one-fifth of all measured public investment was in fact student loans (the loans the government makes and doesn’t expect to get back). The headline numbers overstate how much ‘actual’ investment we’re doing.
New output from the @NuffieldFound general election projects, funded jointly with @finan_fairness. This publication relates to a critical issue, given what we know from the research we support about the critical role of investment in supporting sustainable productivity growth.

Many thanks to @e_casalicchio for including my analysis (aka my "screaming into the wind") in today's Playbook. x.com/POLITICOEurope…
Rishi Sunak's defense spending pledge was big news this week. But in the UK it has descended into a political spat about the government cooking the books. London Playbook has the details 👇 trib.al/8YcssMM
I'll be on BBC Politics Live shortly talking about this. I'll be the man in the jazzy tie who needs a hair cut and forgot to shave this morning.
It's only a "£75 billion increase" over 6 years if you assume that spending would otherwise have been frozen in cash terms for 6 years - i.e. only if the government was, until today, planning to breach its NATO commitments. This is such an unhelpful way to present the figures.
Fascinating. The differences in gender balance by medical specialisation are huge.
NEW: Despite a huge increase in the share of women doctors, some specialties remain stubbornly male-dominated. Read Isabel Stockton and @ElaineKTHF's comment on how access to potential role models influences female junior doctors' specialty choices: ifs.org.uk/articles/if-yo…
The @TheIFS's @BenZaranko has reverse engineered the full spreadsheet shenanigans of HMT on defence spending here 👀👇 (BTW If you're at all interested in the public finances and you're not following Ben on here you're doing it wrong!) x.com/BenZaranko/sta…
The Treasury is claiming that hitting the target of raising UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP in 2030 amounts to a "£75 billion increase". How do they get to this £75bn number? 🤨 Thread...🧵1/9 x.com/hmtreasury/sta…
