In opposition, Sir Keir Starmer pledged “the biggest ever transfer of power from Westminster to the British people.”Today, with a UK-wide tour to the devolved administrations and a meeting with England’s metro mayors amongst his first moves as Prime Minister, it looks likely these significant ambitions on devolution are being carried forward into government.Building on the earlier work of <a href="https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Commission-on-the-UKs-Future.pdf" title="https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Commission-on-the-UKs-Future.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gordon Brown’s Commission on the UK's Future</a>, Impactful Devolution 01, an upcoming report from The Future Governance Forum (FGF) in partnership with Metro Dynamics, will set out how Labour can deliver on its devolution commitments in its first term in government and lay the groundwork for a more lasting shift of power over a decade of national renewal.Joining us to launch the report will be Ben Lucas, Founding Director of Metro Dynamics and lead author of Impactful Devolution, and moderator Heather Jameson, Editor of the Municipal Journal, alongside an expert panel featuring politicians and local leaders.Speakers include:<ul><li>Jim McMahon, Minister for English Devolution and Local Government</li><li>Kim McGuinness, Mayor of the North East</li><li>Liam Robinson, Leader of Liverpool City Council</li><li>Piali Das Gupta, Strategy Director, London Councils</li></ul>Please note, this event is for in person attendance only.Places are limited - sign up today to avoid missing out!
