Host Andrew Kelly is in conversation with Professor Sarah Ayres, University of Bristol, and Dr Geoff Bates, University of Bath, about their work on the TRUUD project, specifically examining how to make government take notice of evidence and implement long-term preventative strategies.

Keir Starmer commissioned a number of high-profile reviews into difficult policy areas on taking office, but the prime minister seems to have become more sceptical about their value in recent weeks. At this event, to mark the launch of a new IfG report on lessons from past policy reviews, a panel of former reviewers and commissioners of reviews explored when reviews can lead to real change – and what needs to be done to ensure they succeed. When is it the right time to launch a review? How should ministers best set up, work with and respond to reviews? And has the prime minister changed his view of reviews – and, if so, why? Discussing these questions, and more, were: Rt Hon Ed Balls, former Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families and Special Adviser at HM Treasury (and commissioner of several reviews) Dame Carol Black, leader of multiple past reviews, including: the Review of Drugs (2021), Drug and Alcohol Addiction, and Obesity: effects on employment outcomes review (2016), Health at Work Review (2011) and Working for a Healthier Tomorrow Review (2008) Dame Tracey Crouch, former Minister for Sport and Civil Society and Chair of the Fan-led Review of Football Governance (2021) Sir Howard Davies, Chair of the Airports Commission (2012–15) The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.

The UK's income inequality has remained stable since the 1990s, but household wealth has nearly doubled, mainly driven by soaring house prices. This has widened the wealth gap between generations, with younger people less likely to own homes. Furthermore, weak income growth since the mid-2000s has disproportionately affected younger cohorts. This lecture unpacks these economic trends to reveal how they have created tensions between generations by exacerbating disparities in their respective living standards.This lecture was recorded by Mike Brewer on 18th February 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Mike is Interim Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation. He is also a Visiting Professor at the Department of Social Policy at the LSE. Between 2011 and 2020, he was a Professor of Economics at the University of Essex. He has also worked at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and HM Treasury. Mike is interested in all aspects of inequality in income and wealth, including the role of the labour market and the tax and benefit system. He also has a long background in using microsimulation methods. He is the author of a book, What Do We Know And What Should We Do About Inequality?, published by SAGE in 2019.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/uks-generational-wealth-gapGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

We are two doctors working as General Practitioners ( family physicians) and have created a podcast called 'In A Nutshell: The Plant-based Health Professionals UK Podcast' in order to promote the evidence for plant-based nutrition to health care providers and the general public. Dr Clare Day has worked as an NHS GP in a range of settings including community and prison healthcare, having qualified as a doctor in 2011. Prior to studying Graduate Medicine she studied Science Communication and Policy, joined the Civil Service and worked at HM Treasury as a Policy Advisor. She has been vegan for a number of years and is convinced of the benefits for long term health of eating whole food plant based. Explanations of how dietary change can help long term conditions is something she tries to put at the very centre of consultations with curious patients. She also does plant-based teaching for trainee GPs and colleagues. Like the rest of us she is learning everyday about food and health, and most importantly the barriers to change for individuals. With her podcast co-host GP Dr Daisy Lund, she hopes to bring on board more healthcare professionals and individuals to support patients in dietary change. Dr Daisy Lund is a practising GP with over 20 years' experience of working in the NHS. She is a GP trainer and medical educator at Imperial College in London. Dr Lund has an interest in preventative medicine and holistic health and incorporates diet and lifestyle into her consultations. She has completed the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate at the University of Winchester and is passionate about nutrition education for health care professionals. Together with a GP colleague, Dr Clare Day, she co-hosts ‘In a Nutshell' the Plant Based Health Professionals UK podcast'.

Hear from Catherine Howarth OBE, CEO of ShareAction, as we dive into the world of shareholder activism and how it can be used to guide institutional investors towards sustainable behaviours. Moving away from fossil fuels is unambiguously the most crucial step in the transition to a sustainable net-zero world. And yet, governments and institutional investors worldwide continue to heavily subsidise and invest in the fossil fuel industry. The longer we delay the transition, the greater the risks that we face. So, how can we break this cycle? Today's guest has been focused on this and other sustainability issues throughout her career. That's why in this episode, we'll be exploring her world of shareholder activism, discussing: The toolkit for influencing institutional investors, including naming and shaming the worst performers; The different challenges when engaging with banks, insurers, and asset managers; And how shareholder activism can go beyond climate to create a more sustainable future for us all.

‘We've got new legal powers which we will be using… but also the scale of how we're operating has, for OFSI at least, changed. Both in terms of the volume of self-disclosures and other intelligence we're getting from different sources… and secondly how capabilities at OFSI are changing and transforming.' -Giles Thomson on changes in the UK sanctions enforcement landscape In the latest episode of the Sanctions Space Podcast, Justine is joined by Giles Thomson, Director of the UK Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation. They discuss sanctions priorities for the UK government, the evolving enforcement landscape, and transatlantic cooperation between OFSI and OFAC Giles Thomson has been Director of the Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) since November 2020. He is also the senior official in HM Treasury responsible for economic crime policy and is the UK's Head of Delegation to the Financial Action Task Force.

Prior to that, Giles held a range of positions across HM Treasury and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
Compliance Clarified – a podcast by Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence
In this episode Rachel Wolcott, senior editor, welcomes special guest Justine Walker to the podcast. Justine is the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists' (ACAMS) global head–sanctions, compliance, and risk and its vice-president for thought leadership. She is an expert on sanctions, counterterrorism, and financial crime she has held specialist positions within the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, HM Treasury, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and UK Finance.Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 ushered in a new set of unprecedented sanctions, including the imposition of a novel oil price cap, meant to stop Russia selling oil above $60 a barrel. But Russia seems to be able to get everything it needs to keep the war going. Justine expects enforcement action to unfold as the year progresses."We're entering into a much more aggressive phase regarding the price cap, we've got new price capacitation requirements, we've had a flurry of new guidance. We're probably going to see this play out in terms of more enforcement, and I think this year is going to be pretty informative in terms of how the oil price cap will end up being in terms of a longer-term tool," Justine told Compliance Clarified.Justine emphasized the importance of Executive Order 14114, signed last year by President Biden, which ratchets up secondary sanction risk for non-U.S. financial institutions which give direct support to Russia's military-industrial base but also for indirect assistance, such as facilitating customers' dealings or providing services to customer transactions related to Russia's military-industrial base.Justine explained the convergence of export controls with anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance. She emphasized the need for financial institutions to be proactive in identifying sensitive technologies and strategic trade, which are increasingly becoming a focus for the Group of Seven governments."One of the big challenges is this merger between export control requirements, AML and sanctions. There's been more of a nexus between AML and sanctions, but the nexus with export controls has not been there to what we're now seeing is being asked. We're seeing much greater expectations from governments, that financial institutions will become more proactive in their thinking around their role in sensitive technology, strategic trade, export control, and that is a whole area of speciality in itself" Justine said.Links:ACAMS's Global Threat Report: https://www.acamstoday.org/global-afc-threats-report/INSIGHT: Latest U.S. warnings to foreign banks doing significant Russia business may herald sanctionsenforcement action Inside Paywall: http://go-ri.tr.com/3ZIw6BOutside Paywall: https://regintel-content.thomsonreuters.com/document/I899083B0DCA811EE925AD4411E508A2D/INSIGHT:-Latest-U.S.-warnings-to-foreign-banks-doing-significant-Russia-business-may-herald-sanctions-enforcement-action-07-03-2024U.S. targets Russian "malign activities" linked to Wagner Group in Central African Republic: https://regintel-content.thomsonreuters.com/document/I87D16B80DD8D11EE985CDDFFB3F5522A/U.S.-targets-Russian-'malign-activities'-linked-to-Wagner-Group-in-Central-African-Republic-11-03-2024EU sanctions: new rules to crack down on violations | News | European Parliament: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240308IPR19002/eu-sanctions-new-rules-to-crack-down-on-violationsPrevious episodes:Season 10, Episode 5: How Mekong region organized crime built a global cryptocurrency money laundering network: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/season-10-episode-5-how-mekong-region-organized-crime/id1548510826?i=1000646371712Season 9, Episode 8: Hamas, terrorist financing and the U.S. response to the 7 October attack: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/season-9-episode-8-hamas-terrorist-financing-and-the-u/id1548510826?i=1000635015943Series 9, Episode 3: North Korea, Russia, crypto and changing attitudes to sanctions in Asia: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/series-9-episode-3-north-korea-russia-crypto-and/id1548510826?i=1000631061413Contact us:Rachel.wolcott@thomsonreuters.comMore information about Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence: https://legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/regulatory-intelligence Compliance Clarified is a podcast from Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence.Listen to wide-ranging, insightful discussions on all things compliance for financial services firms.

Nick Bloom, Professor of Economics at Stanford University and co-Founder of wfhresearch.com and wfhmap.com, has studied remote work for over two decades. Nick discusses fundamental data issues, sources, and collection as well as understanding macro and firm level productivity. He talks about the demise of RTO (Return To Office) efforts and the stabilization of hybrid models. Nick describes the changing attitudes and demographics of people working from home. He also shares insights about HR's rising strategic importance as talent management increases in complexity. KEY TAKEAWAYS [03:02] Born and educated in the UK, Nick starts off consulting and working at HM Treasury. [03:35] On a speaking engagement in California, Nick is offered a job and returns to live long-term. [04:42] Nick was interested in management practices early on and, as a child, experienced both parents working from home. [05:22] One of Nick's students is a travel agent. Their randomized WFH trial generates much interest. [04:42] Focused on daily commuting, early WFH data only tracked fully remote or fully in the office. [06:50] Nick begins bridging the gap and finding multiple sources as government data collection lags. [07:35] Nick finds ways to collect reliable and more frequent data from many businesses. [09:41] Productivity is easy enough to measure at the macro level, critical for setting interest rates. [10:31] At the firm level, productivity is very hard to measure for many disciplines and jobs. [11:34] Initially surprised at the pandemic's duration and effect on WFH, Nick then visualizes the tombstone for Return To Office. [12:35] Nick explains the inherent bias in Kastle'a data for trending upwards. [14:01] The perception of working from home is much more positive than a decade ago. [15:28] People working remotely are now more likely to be higher paid professionals. [16:25] The leisure boom resulting from reduced commuting—why not play golf then?! [17:57] With hybrid stabilizing, HR is more important to manage more complex talent dynamics. [20:55] In-person outperforms virtual teaching for now, but Nick expects this to evolve. [22:11] How important coordination is to improve in-office experiences and activities. [23:34] MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) learning is likely to improve dramatically with technology advances (e.g. new headsets). [25:58] Why CEOs tend to have the most negative opinions about remote working. [26:49] At all levels, most people find no change to corporate culture caused by working from home. [27:32] A reasonable cadence of in-person connection to build and maintain culture. [28:49] Nick was amazed hybrid stabilized so quickly. [29:33] Top human resources pay has risen steeply recently to support new work- and talent-related developments. [31:10] How work arrangements are best tailored for the target audience, product/service, and talent. [32:16] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Your priority should be getting your hybrid model to work. If compliance is low for four days a week in the office, try one or two days and make those a success so people feel it's valuable time spent in the office (not on Zoom). RESOURCES Nick Bloom on LinkedIn wfhresearch.com wfhmap.com QUOTES “Hybrid's going to get better in the sense of more coordination, better use of space.” “At the end of 2022, there's a little tombstone somewhere that says “Return To Office, Rest In Peace.” And since then, work from home levels have been stable.” “I could easily see a norm being two or three days a week in the office and two, three days. The thing for me is that coordination really matters.” “Mid-managers tend to actually be relatively positive working from home because they have houses and kids.” “Meeting up once a month for a day or once a week for one or two days, you can really get a big boost to culture building and there are diminishing returns which is why hybrid is so popular. You just don't need to be in all five days.” “There's been a leisure boost. The typical professional is working from home two and a half days a week. You typically save 70 minutes a day when you work from home. If you add it up, you're looking at two, maybe three hours. And you can easily sneak in a game of golf.” “I think now we have stabilized in hybrid. I know you occasionally read scary headlines from Elon Musk or Jamie Diamond, but in the data I'm looking at, you just don't see that.”

The next general election is – at most – one year away. If Labour wins, there will, as is almost always the case in the UK, be an overnight transition of power. A party that has spent 14 years in opposition would be instantly thrown into government. But having focused already limited resources on election campaigning, and often lacking the knowledge and experience of being in government, how can opposition parties prepare for an overnight transition? Which issues do they need to consider ahead of a possible election win? And what challenges might arise on that first day in power? As the Institute's research shows, proper preparation can make the difference between success and stagnation once in office. This event, the latest in the Institute for Government's General Election programme, discussed a new IfG report – Preparing for government: How oppositions should ready themselves for power – which sets out how to prepare for a possible transition into government. Joining us to the discuss the report and its findings was an expert panel, including: Wes Ball, former Director of the Parliamentary Labour Party Baroness Fall, former Deputy Chief of Staff to David Cameron Dr Catherine Haddon, Programme Director at the Institute for Government Lord Macpherson, former Permanent Secretary at HM Treasury (2005–16) The event was chaired by Joe Owen, Director of Impact at the Institute for Government.

This episode of The Standard Formula podcast discusses three emergent insurance resolution regimes that deal with the failure, or potential failure, of insurers. Lamya Al-Yazdi, a member of Skadden's London insurance team, joins Skadden partner Rob Chaplin to discuss the U.K. HM Treasury consultation on the insurer-specific recovery and resolution regime (IRR), the EU Insurance Resolution and Recovery Directive (IRRD) and the proposals outlined in the consultation paper by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.Starting with the U.K., Rob and Lamya review the four resolution objectives for the IRR. They also discuss the EU's proposed set of rules for handling insurance company failures. The rules will apply to EU insurance and reinsurance companies covered by Solvency II, EU insurance holding companies and EU mixed financial holding companies.Finally, they review proposals from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA). The first proposal involves the implementation of recovery planning regulations to aid insurers in proactively addressing adverse scenarios, enabling them to make informed decisions and develop credible survival strategies for severe stress situations. The second proposal suggests that the Bermuda Monetary Authority could mandate insurers to undertake recovery planning measures.

Over many years Sajid Javid held some of the most senior roles in British government, serving as a secretary of state in six different departments under three different prime ministers – including as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary. Javid, who will stand down from parliament at the next election, is now a commissioner on the Institute for Government's Centre Commission. At this ‘in conversation' event he shared his experiences at the heart of government to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses at the centre and how they could be fixed. What are the biggest problems with the centre of government? What are the tensions between No.10 and the Treasury? How does the centre work with the rest of government? And how can the priorities of a prime minister best be delivered? To discuss these questions and more, Sajid Javid was in conversation with Dr Hannah White, Director of the Institute for Government, followed by a Q&A. Follow us on Twitter @ifgevents and join the conversation using #IfGCentre. The Institute for Government's Commission on the Centre of Government is looking at why No.10, the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury do not always work as well as they should and what could be done to radically improve the centre of UK government. The Centre Commission's purpose is to produce concrete recommendations for a confident, proactive, coherently-structured centre of government equipped to meet the challenges and take the opportunities of the 21st century and deliver for the people of the UK. The Commission will report in February 2024.
HM Treasury – the UK's economics and finance ministry – played a crucial role in the government's response to the Covid pandemic. While the crisis was fundamentally one of public health, shutting down the country saw the government pay the wages of around a third of the workforce and spend billions supporting businesses. So how successful were the Treasury's policies and how well did it work with the rest of government? What lessons should the Treasury learn from its pandemic response? How can the department be better prepared to handle future crises? And what can be done to improve how the Treasury operates in normal times? This event presented and discussed the findings of a new report from the Institute for Government which examines how the Treasury implemented labour market and business finance support schemes, delivered an unprecedented amount of support to the country at incredible speed and under huge uncertainty, and worked with other government departments during the crisis. To explore these questions, the IfG brought together an expert panel including: Rushanara Ali MP, Member of the Treasury Select Committee Olly Bartrum, Senior Economist at the Institute for Government Prof Sir Charles Bean, former member of the Budget Responsibility Committee at the Office for Budget Responsibility (2017–21) Tracey Brown, Director of Sense about Science Sir Charles Roxburgh, former Second Permanent Secretary of HM Treasury (2016–22) The event was chaired by Dr Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.

Amanda Blanc is the group CEO of the insurance company Aviva. She is one of a handful of women at the top of FTSE 100 companies and has spoken out against the sexism and misogyny many – including herself - have encountered during their careers. In 2022 she called out disparaging comments made to her by some of the male shareholders at her company's own AGM. Her published riposte received some 1.6m views in the space of a few days. Amanda was born in Treherbert, a former mining village in the Rhondda Valley. Both her grandfathers worked down the mines and she says the miners' strike of 1984 left a lasting impression on her and taught her the value of community. After studying modern history at Liverpool University, Amanda joined a graduate training scheme at Commercial Union. By the age of 29 she was the company's youngest and first female branch manager when she took up the post in Leicester. She joined Aviva in 2020 and the following year she was appointed Women in Finance Charter Champion by HM Treasury. She was named the Sunday Times Business Person of the Year for 2022. Amanda is married to Ken Blanc, who also worked in insurance but gave up his job to support her career. They have two daughters and live in Hampshire.

How does money shape history and how do we write about it? Anne McElvoy discusses those questions with a finalist in the political writing category of the 2022 Orwell Prize. In Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire, Kojo Koram traces the some of the economic problems faced across the world today with wealth inequality, with sovereign debt, austerity, and precarious employment and how they are bound up in decolonisation. She also talks to leading UK economist Richard Davies about how Covid has had an impact on our understanding of economics. And John Ramsden is concerned with restoring the forgotten place of economics in poetry from Coleridge's interest in cycles of boom and bust to Jonathan Swift's fascination with trade sanctions. Dhruti Shah is a journalist and the author of Bear Markets and Beyond: A bestiary of business terms. Kojo Koram teaches at the School of Law at Birkbeck College, University of London, and writes on issues of law, race and empire. He is the editor of The War on Drugs and the Global Colour Line and author of Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire. Richard Davies is the author of Extreme Economies: Survival, Failure, Future Limits for the World's Economies. A former adviser at the Bank of England and HM Treasury, he now runs the UK's Economics Observatory. John Ramsden is a former career diplomat and ambassador. He is the author of The Poets' Guide to Economics Dhruti Shah is a journalist and the author of Bear Markets and Beyond: A bestiary of business terms.
