Special advisers ("SpAds") play a hugely important role in government, and successful ones are key to helping a minister achieve his or her priorities. The number of SpAds has more than doubled since 2010, but the job is not well understood by the public – or, in some cases, by special advisers themselves. So what do SpAds do on a day-to-day basis? How do they interact with ministers and the civil service? And what does it mean to be good at the job? Building on IfG research from 2020, this event will consider how the role has evolved over recent decades. What skills and capabilities are needed to be an effective SpAd? How should potential future SpAds approach the role? And how does the UK compare with other countries in the way its political advisers operate? To explore these questions, the IfG brought together an expert panel including: Sonia Khan, Associate Director at Cicero and former special adviser to Philip Hammond and Sajid Javid Jennifer Lees-Marshment, Associate Professor at the University of Auckland, focusing on the political adviser role in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand Liz Lloyd, former Chief of Staff to Nicola Sturgeon Baroness Sally Morgan, former Director of Government Relations for Tony Blair and Chair of Ofsted The event was chaired by Tim Durrant, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Let's play Budget Bingo with the Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond... Adam is back and chatting to the man they used to refer to as "Spreadsheet Phil" about what he would do if he was still Chancellor of the Exchequer. We also hear from the BBC's Katie Prescott, who's in a market in Bristol talking to shop owners about how business is going. What are they hoping for in this week's spending review and budget bonanza? Today's Newscast was made by Sam Bonham, with Georgia Coan, Alix Pickles and Danny Wittenberg. The studio director was Emma Crowe. Alison Gee was the assistant editor.
Philip Hammond is a UK Cabinet Minister and key member of the British Government for almost a decade. Leading four departments over nine years and rising to the second most powerful job in government, he is one of only three people to serve continuously in the UK cabinet from 2010 to 2019, serving under Prime Ministers David Cameron and Theresa May. In this conversation, Hammond explains his decision to leave his cabinet role as Chancellor of the Exchequer when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister because of Johnson's openness to a no-deal Brexit. Hammond explains the economic, cultural and political factors that combined to bring about Brexit, and its consequences. “There's been a lot of resentment in the U.K. at the creeping encroachment by Brussels over our everyday lives… And it was really a reaction to that, a feeling that people wanted to restore sovereignty to our own parliament, make our own decisions, and control our own borders.” ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

Samkomulag er milli Íslands og Bretlands að íslenskir ríkisborgarar sem búa í Bretlandi og breskir ríkisborgarar sem búa á Íslandi haldi öllum sínum réttindum eftir útgöngu Breta úr Evrópusambandinu. Þetta var handsalað á fundi Katrínar Jakobsdóttur með Theresu May forsætisráðherra Bretlands í Ósló í dag. Tugþúsundir fjölskyldna eru fastar á leigumarkaði,- aðeins átta prósent af þeim sem leigja, vilja leigja. Húsnæðismálaráðherra telur að hægt sé að bæta stöðuna á húsnæðismarkaði með því að fylgja fordæmi Finna. Landlæknir er fylgjandi því að gefa konum kost á að rjúfa meðgöngu fram í 22. viku í stað 16. eins og nú er. Hjúkrunarfræðingur hefur viðurkennt að hafa myrt 100 sjúklinga sem voru í hans umsjá á tveimur sjúkrahúsum í Þýskalandi. Persónuvernd telur að Barnaverndarstofa hafi brotið lög þegar stofnunin afhenti RÚV og Stundinni gögn um samskipti við velferðarráðuneytið. Leigjendur hafa það að jafnaði verra en þeir sem eiga húsnæði. Þetta kemur fram í nýrri skýrslu Íbúðalánasjóðs og velferðarráðuneytisins um stöðu og þróun húsnæðismála. Húsnæðismálaráðherra telur brýnast að uppræta íbúðaskort með því að byggja húsnæði í stórum stíl. Hann horfir til Finnlands og vill að stjórnvöld og sveitarfélögin stígi fastar inn í húsnæðismarkaðinn. Formaður félags leigjenda vill leiguþak. Arnhildur Hálfdánardótir. Miklar líkur eru á að ný ríkisstjórn verði mynduð í Noregi og að Erna Solberg forsætisráðherra verði að taka fjórða flokkinn inn í stjórn sína. Kristilegi þjóðarflokkurinn vill ráðherrastóla í stað þess að verja stjórnina bara falli. Að öðrum kosti verði mynduð ríkisstjórn til vinstri með Verkamannaflokknum. Gísli Kristjánsson. Eins og heyra mátti í breska þinginu í gær þegar Philip Hammond fjármálaráðherra lagði fram fjárlagafrumvarpið markast átökin í breskum stjórnmálum enn af átökum um niðurskurð og velferðarkerfið. En stóri óvissuþátturinn, sem fjármálaráðherrann nefndi þó varla, er Brexit. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir.

The UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer has a plan to make housing in the UK more affordable. Sadly, it won't work. His idea of cutting stamp duty for first home buyers on the first £300,000 of their half a million pound homes, will only make matters worse. So, what's the real answer? As Professor Steve Keen explains to Phil Dobbie, it's not to increase supply. Why not? And what should Philip Hammond have put in his budget if he really wanted to make a difference.
