It's rare for a think tank report to merit a full page in The Sun, but Policy Exchange has managed it this morning, with their report which, in tabloid speak, appears to call for the North of England to be closed down and turned into a museum. Of course in reality it is much more complicated than that, as the report's introduction makes clear. Geographical inequality is growing... Many o...

Back in 2008 the Report of the Party Reform Commission to the Federal Executive was published, more commonly known as the Bones Report after its Chair, Chris Bones. Both the process for drawing up the report and the report itself was not without its critics at the time (e.g. see here and here) but since

GORDON Brown yesterday confirmed the opposition would be allowed access to a report on the death of Baby P amid growing calls for it to be published.

One egregious example from the report is the b...

The long awaited report which will be the backdrop for management arrangements for events in the Meadows is now available here. This will go to the Policy and Strategy committee on Tuesday 12th May. Many have been in touch with me about this. There has been growing concern about overuse of parts of the Meadows in recent years - particularly the section designated for events just east of Middle Mea...

When I read the New America Foundation Command of the Commons report (PDF), my first thought was that the report represents the first iteration of a genuine attempt to take a hard look at what reducing roles and missions of the United States Navy looks like. I think the report is important to read for that function alone, because a report that implies less seapower can also be more for the nation ...
