@akmaciver @HolyroodSources @kezdugdale @CalumAM @geoffaberdein Many thanks to @akmaciver, @geoffaberdein and @CalumAM for having @kezdugdale and me on. The paper is now live on the @UofGPolicy website: gla.ac.uk/research/az/pu….
TODAY!🚨 ❓ What do we know about top priorities for voters? ❓ What's so far been ignored or lacked its moment in the spotlight? ❓ What about Scottish manifestos and what do we know so far about the future for devolution? Join us! Watch here from 1pm: streamyard.com/watch/Qdgsz5VC…
Policy Insights: For new towns to contribute significantly to housing supply, design and delivery must both be right. Dr @RichardsonRobK writes about the lessons parties should learn from previous housing policy and their current proposals. Read more: gla.ac.uk/research/az/pu…
Online Event: Policy Insights Live Join us on 17 June to analyse the final stages of the General Election & reflect on the campaigns Panel: 📍@McEwen_Nicola 📍@AnnaFowlie, @scvotweet 📍@EmilyIpsosScot, @IpsosScotland 📍Nathalie Agnew, @The_IoD Register: eventbrite.co.uk/e/920757619827…
Today we launch the first episode of our mini-series ‘Spotlight on the Election’. Our hosts @McEwen_Nicola & @kezdugdale speak with @StephenNoon and @EddieBarnes23 about the opening stages of the race, seats to watch and the campaign trail #UofGSpotlight open.spotify.com/episode/7aAN40…
ICYMI. Now online: @ITVBorderRB with story of @JohnSwinney election as FM by @suttonmatty. Profile of new FM's life-long support for independence and record in government by @HannahMargBrown Fascinating analysis from @StephenNoon and @KieranPAndrews itv.com/watch/news/cat…
I despair at how some are approaching this leadership contest. We’ve seen far too much elevating of the personal over the political, and in doing so we all end up being dragged down. Have we learned nothing from last year - a contest at John Curtice said cost us up to 5%.
On #scotnight What kind of First Minister would John Swinney make? Is he what the SNP needs? Former SNP Health Secretary @AlexNeilSNP and former senior SNP government adviser @StephenNoon offer their contrasting views on who should be the next FM. buff.ly/3uqM4HN
On #scotnight 🔷 Deputy FM @ShonaRobison speaks to @STVColin following Humza Yousaf's resignation 🔷 We talk to @MGallacherMSP and @patrickharvie 🔷 @StephenNoon, @AlexNeilSNP & @therachelamery join us to assess the potential road ahead for the SNP buff.ly/3uqM4HN
We’re delighted to welcome Caroline Gardner CBE to the Centre for Public Policy as Honorary Professor👋 Formerly the Auditor General for Scotland, Caroline’s career in audit, governance and financial management will be invaluable to our work. Read more🔗 gla.ac.uk/research/az/pu…
🗣️ 'Progress is one more power that's been delivered or gained and it's also one more person who's been persuaded' We spoke with the former chief strategist of the Yes Scotland campaign on the 2024 independence strategy
Many lessons for Scotland from the Welsh Constitution @Comisiwn process and final report. Commissioners were cross-party and non-party, they engaged extensively with citizens in Wales and, despite party political differences, the conclusions were agreed unanimously.
Our final report is out!📄 Through surveys, our Community Engagement Fund, roadshows and our online platform we’ve listened to a range of voices across Wales, and set out ways to strengthen the democratic future of our nation. Read our findings by clicking the link below. Let us know what you think using #ShapingOurNation 👇 gov.wales/welsh-democrac…
'Welsh independence is viable and devolution will collapse without action', commission finds tinyurl.com/29nvcfur
One to watch tomorrow.
Tomorrow, our final report is published. You can watch the launch live from @SeneddWales at 12pm🕒 Event link: senedd.zoom.us/j/69609253796?……Meeting ID: 696 0925 3796 Passcode: 7wqZtBuMqU #ShapingOurNation
📝A Scotland that is prosperous, resilient and fair: Read my essay in today’s @ScotNational on why we must respond to the cocktail of global, economic and social insecurity with a platform of credible ambition rooted in economic prosperity and resilience. thenational.scot/politics/24047…
There is a time and a place for fighting the political fight, but there is also a time and place for talking, for alliance building, and I believe the Yes movement would gain from having people tasked with doing both. 5/
They can reach out across the political divide to build relationships that will benefit us when the day comes. Yessers in the Lords may not be right the way to do it, but I do believe it is a job that needs doing. 4/
There has been a lot of engagement with my article in @ScotNational today (thank you). One point that has not come across, is that this is not about @theSNP changing its position or the SNP putting people in the HoL. I am arguing something different. 1/
