Following the link from the piece written in the Local Government section by Policy Exchange's Ben Caldecott about litter this morning, I was taken to the Policy Exchange website, and notice that it has gone through something of a redesign....

Another day, another headline on the cost of green policies. This time thanks to a new report from Policy Exchange as part of their ‘Greener, Cheaper’ workstream. With customers feeling the pinch from high energy bills, Chris Huhne continues to have his work cut out to defend green policy spending. Problems with Policy Exchange’s analysis,

This evening I have been at a gala fundraising dinner for Policy Exchange at Vinopolis near London Bridge. Boris Johnson was the guest speaker and he put in a bravura performance - just the right mix of Borisisms and political meat. Nicholas Boles can be justifiably proud of what he created all the way back in 2001. A lot of people along the way have helped make Policy Exchange the biggest and arg...

Nice to see Iain Dale being so open about the influence of Policy Exchange for a change; most days he's busy denying their influence. On one notable occasion when Iain Dale was a Trustee of Policy Exchange and denying their...

Well done to Nick Clegg for becoming the first major party leader to take on Policy Exchange over its unscrupulous approach to Islam. (hat-tip Sunny Hundal) In a statement carried by the PoliticsHome website on Friday, Clegg criticised the think-tank over for a privately circulated briefing against the Sunday's Global Peace and Unity event in London. The Policy Exchange briefing I have seen seeks ...

For obvious political reasons, David Cameron had to run a mile from Policy Exchange’s report on northern cities. But as John Rentoul argues in an excellent column in The Independent on Sunday, the report was actually right about certain things:  the striking thing about the Policy Exchange report is that its analysis is broadly correct. It specifically said that Liverpool, Roc...

Here's an interesting postscript to Nick Clegg's attack on Policy Exchange for privately briefing against the Global Peace and Unity event in London. One of the organisations cited by Policy Exchange, the Society of Americans for National Existence, has objected to my characterisation of them in a post at Spinwatch. On their blog a SANE staffer writes: In this link the leftist Brits continue to b...

The right-wing thinktank Policy Exchange has been forced into a humiliating climbdown over its report, ‘The Hijacking of British Islam’, for making allegations in the report that it now admits were unsubstantiated. In late 2007 Policy Exchange published the report, reported in the right-wing press without any further fact-checking, that around a quarter of Mosques and

Iain pointed out yesterday that Policy Exchange had become David Cameron's least favourite think-tank (as opposed to his favourite) after it published a report suggesting that regenerating the north of England was a waste of time and that Northerners should move to the south instead. Unsurprisingly, with David Cameron currently undertaking a tour of the North West and West Midlands, the ...

The LibDems have sent out this press release: Liberal Democrat Leader, Nick Clegg has challenged the think-tank Policy Exchange over its briefing against a family event aimed at promoting harmony and dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims. A briefing note circulated by Policy Exchange links speakers at the Global Peace and Unity 2008 event on Sunday to Islamic
