Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government
Institute for GovernmentThe first Labour government in 14 years is facing a daunting to-do list and complex challenges at every turn. Public services are under strain. The civil service is under pressure. And ministers must deliver the government’s missions and milestones. But could Keir Starmer’s plan to “rewire the British state” – through using AI and creating a “start-up” culture – turn these challenges into opportun... more

An interesting listen.
Apple Podcasts5veganman1961United Kingdom4 months ago - 5 stars just aren’t enough
If you want a podcast that oozes intelligence; informedness; nuance; and courtesy, look no further. It’s hard to exaggerate the high quality of this. Perhaps what you’d expect from the IFG. Please subscribe and tell your friends and take a deep dive into the website. An absolute essential if you want to begin understand our fiendishly complex world. I promise I’m not on commission. Thank you IFG.

The IFG is particularly prone to including speakers who say “sort of stop” or“sort of decide” ... more
