Nesta - The UK's Innovation Agency 255d ago

Should the Chancellor raise taxes in the budget and, if so, which ones? Nesta and the Institute for Fiscal Studies have developed Be the Chancellor - an interactive tool that allows anyone to confront the big public finance choices. We were at the Conservative Party Conference to explore the key choices and trade-offs facing the government, hosting an expert panel consisting of Tim Leunig, Chief Economist at Nesta, Robert Colvile, Director at Centre for Policy Studies and Columnist for The Sunday Times, Councillor Abi Brown OBE, Conservative councillor for the Meir Park ward and deputy leader of the LGA Conservative Group, and Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. The event was chaired by Joe Owen, Director of Policy and Government Partnerships at Nesta. -- We are Nesta. The UK's innovation agency for social good. Our ambitious 10-year strategy aligns our efforts behind three innovation missions working to promote a fairer start, a healthy life, and a sustainable future. -- Follow Nesta on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nestauk.bsky.social Like Nesta on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nesta.uk Follow Nesta on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nesta_uk
