Immigration is a big issue for the UK public. There’s no way around it.

Many Brits feel left behind, feel devoid of opportunity and functioning public services.

But denying the contribution immigrants make to the UK economy is a fool’s errand.

Shifting NHS care from hospitals to the community (highstreets, town centres, etc) eases pressure on hospitals and brings care closer to those who need it.

It’s not just smart policy, it’s popular: 58% of Brits want the Government to prioritise local NHS services.

GGF‘s @theresabis.bsky.social on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social talking about the importance of transport in boosting regional equality.

Good transport links are amongst the top reasons for a strong local economy - it’s a policy area where Govt can make a tangible impact on voters.

More to come..

The @bankofengland.bsky.social’s Monetary Policy Committee holds interest rates at 4.25%.

Interest rates are at a stand-still as the Bank navigates a highly unpredictable international environment.

📊A big week in politics 📊

Following the Spending Review, today‘s GDP figures proved a sharp contrast to recent positive soundings on the economy.

GGF‘s @theresabis.bsky.social unpacks what they actually mean.

Lots to unpick from today's spending review. But the proof will have to be in the pudding for voters to get on side - and they want results fast.

Almost 50% of swing voters expect to feel growth benefits in the next two years 👇

The Good Growth Foundation @goodgrowthfdn.bsky.social · Jun 11

Every Briton - young and old - must be able to access opportunity, training and good work. That’s good growth.

But the Government needs to go fast.

Over 70% expect to see the benefits of growth in 4 years, while almost 50% of swing voters expect to feel them in 2 years.

Proud of the team. We've spent some time now rolling out the pitch for a new deal with the EU. Last few days alone, covered in @bloomberg.com, @theipaper.com, @cityam.bsky.social & @thespectator1828.bsky.social. Much more to come

The Good Growth Foundation @goodgrowthfdn.bsky.social · May 19

The UK and EU are finally turning the page.

We called for a common sense deal - and now progress is taking place on all four policy areas we set out.

This is a win for UK-wide growth, and avoids key concerns of the public.

Very interesting chart from the new @goodgrowthfdn.bsky.social @prafulnargund.bsky.social report on the UK-EU reset. It suggests there's more room for the Labour government to be ambitious with the EU than they're currently willing to admit.

Broadcast debut on @lbc.co.uk and @gbnewsonline.bsky.social yesterday.

Simply - key to getting voters on board is putting more money into their pockets. Big focus now on Govt's plans for boosting productivity and bringing down the cost of living.

The UK-EU summit holds great opportunity - from Youth Mobility to defence. But any decisions must respect voters’ red lines.

Labour MPs are confident the UK-US trade deal could improve Britain's economic position — and help them electorally.

But the public are still not fans of Trump — as some eyebrow raising JL Partners polling for the Good Growth Foundation makes very clear.

Donald Trump is a bigger threat to UK than terrorists, poll says

Almost a quarter of Brits thought the U.S. president is the biggest risk to national security — second only to Russia.

Today we are launching 'The Third Rail' - our new report on how Britain can repair its broken relationship with the European Union without reigniting the divisions of Brexit.

For too long, this issue has been untouchable.

That has to change.

Big week for domestic politics, followed by big big weeks for international politics. Our upcoming EU-UK research speaks to both.

Who are the voters leaving Labour for Reform? How do they really feel about our relationship with the EU? And crucially, what do they want from it?

Praful Nargund @prafulnargund.bsky.social · Apr 27

Delighted to see a small preview in @observeruk.bsky.social editorial of our upcoming work on the UK-EU relationship.

Trump is definitely a push factor for a closer relationship. There are political realities that must be respected, but a pragmatic approach can get a closer relationship.

The UK needs a closer relationship with the EU - but we can't reopen the Brexit debate.

See @prafulnargund.bsky.social on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social outlining how the Gov can secure a better deal on trade and defence while avoiding political pitfalls.

The UK is facing a crisis of economic inactivity - and Trump's tariffs will only make it worse.

That's why GGF is campaigning for a NICs holiday for businesses who hire people currently on long-term sickness or disability benefits.

Era-defining tariffs call for era-defining diplomacy with the UK's biggest trading partner. Time to pick friends carefully. 👇

The UK can be a safe haven in an ocean of chaos.

Today’s speech was a welcome shift from the PM but symbolism isn’t strategy. We need bold thinking, stronger EU ties and serious support for British industry.

GGF director, @prafulnargund.bsky.social's, response to the PM’s remarks:

GGF Responds to PM's Speech

Praful Nargund, Good Growth Foundation Director, said:

"The UK has the opportunity to be a safe haven in an ocean of chaos. That means picking our friends carefully. For months now, the public has said it prefers a close trading relationship with the EU over one with the US. We have to get our ducks in a row ahead of the upcoming UK-EU summit to achieve meaningful change, strengthening our relationship with the UK’s biggest trading partners."
