A world-first focus on long-term outcomes could transform UK government – or create new spending fights (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Tucked away in John Healey's budget is decision to ringfence preventative projects where future savings outweigh initial costIt merited the briefest of mentions in John Healey's speech and just one paragraph in the 166-page budget document, but some believe it could revolutionise not just public spending but the very process of government itself: a new focus on long-term outcomes.The idea in the broad sense is very simple. Any spending deemed to be “preventative” – that is, the initial outlay will be more than made up for by future savings – will from now on be ringfenced, meaning it cannot be raided for more immediate needs.

The Guardian view on a changing Brexit debate: Kemi Badenoch is trapped in denial | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|

The prime minister's ambitions might be ambiguous, but unlike the Conservative leader, he is following voters and the factsBritish politics is still polarised around Brexit, although 10 years on from the referendum, the terms of debate are very different. Or they should be. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has moved discussions of European solidarity from the realm of abstraction to a matter of urgent defence partnership. Donald Trump's presidency in the US, marked by scorn for European democracies and indulgence of Vladimir Putin, has undermined confidence that Britain can rely on any “special relationship” with Washington.Under these circumstances, it would be absurd to deny that a reappraisal of Brexit is in order.
