Better government doesn’t mean bigger government
The pandemic has confirmed two truths about the role of the state in the 21st century: Government matters and government is broken. A relentless global health emergency has shown clearly why government matters. From the support for basic science that underpinned the development of new vaccines and therapeutics, through to public health measures required to counter the threat of a highly infectious pathogen, public policy has been critical to bringing the crisis under control.

The new progressive agenda
Hi, it's Chris from the Tony Blair Institute. I'm excited to share our latest essay, which is all about the tech revolution and what it means for the future of progressive policy. by Tony Blair and Chris Yiu The pandemic has exposed some hard truths. The interconnected global system we took for granted – even as the forces of nationalism and populism chipped away at its edges – has let us down at the very time we needed countries to come together.
Transforming Government for the 21st Century
Responsive Institutions Institutions Governments’ capacity to respond to the needs of citizens is central to improving public services and promoting a healthy democracy. However, ossified bureaucracies replete with obstructive silos, interdependencies that reduce teams’ autonomy and poor use of technology, consistently undermine these efforts.
A New Deal for Big Tech: Next-Generation Regulation Fit for the Internet Age
Challenges The policy dissonance outlined above can now be analysed in a different light. The analytical building blocks described earlier—the cost structure of the Internet; the distinction between platforms, aggregators and infrastructure; and the implications for gatekeepers, start-ups and tech giants—are essential for helping chart a way through.
What we can learn from the failure of ILAs
Individual Learning Accounts were a radical new policy idea. Bill Cook looks at why they failed, and what lessons the next Labour government can learn When introduced in the infant years of the New Labour government, Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs) seemed like a brilliant idea. They aimed to widen participation within learning and help overcome some of the financial barriers faced by individuals.
Don’t break big tech, fix it
The internet turned the world on its head. It’s time to apply the same audacious ambition to rethinking regulation The political weather has been slowly turning against big tech for a while, but the last few weeks have thrown the storm clouds into sharp relief. Much of the responsibility for the growing backlash falls on the tech industry; inclusion has failed to keep pace with innovation and neutrality has been used as an excuse to side-step difficult conversations.
Keeping big tech in check
We need new institutions to deal with democracy and ethics in an age of technological change, writes Carys Roberts Artificial intelligence and associated technologies will raise profound ethical issues for society. As technology takes on tasks that humans previously performed, new questions of responsibility, accountability and transparency will be raised.
The new ‘white heat of technology’
Only Labour will create the new institutions to democratise the fourth industrial revolution, argues Liam Byrne It was 54 years ago that Harold Wilson proved technology could win elections. On a dry, sunny autumn day in October 1964, Wilson swept the Tories from office with a political sizzle crafted from the prospect of harnessing the ‘white heat of the technological revolution’ to create a different kind of country.
Automation for the people
In an economy where productivity growth has fallen behind, we should encourage the use of robots, not tax them, argues Chris Yiu Automation often sounds like science fiction, but the reality is more quotidian: it is neither new nor exotic. Modern cars are a great example – you still need to sit behind the wheel, but many aspects of the driving experience are handed off to automatic systems that make your journey smoother and safer.
A New Approach to Digital Identity
Revolutions sometimes come in small steps. For those of us born before 1995, turning 16 had a small coming of age moment: a blue and red card would arrive in the post. Squished in bulging wallets, between various receipts, loyalty, debit and credit cards, our National Insurance card would later invariably be lost, or buried in a drawer. A minor panic would then ensue each time a new employer asked for your number.
Technology for the Many: A Public Policy Platform for a Better, Fairer Future
To realise the full potential of new technologies to help government deliver, and to address the significant challenges that new technologies present, will require a bold new policy agenda that is fit for the digital age. Although we approach this undertaking from a progressive tradition, the primary point of divergence is not between left and right. On both sides of today’s politics there are those who are eager to lean on the politics of grievance to sandbag the status quo.
