So how can the prime minister and his team turn around public service performance? What can chancellor Rachel Reeves do to get the economy growing again? What will mission-driven government actually mean in practice? Who should be making the key decisions in Westminster – and beyond? And what will the appointment of a new cabinet secretary mean for the future direction of the civil service? From reforming how the centre of government works to the battle for the future of the civil service, from making a success of levelling up to achieve net zero goals, IfG EVENTS stimulate fresh thinking and share ideas about how government works – and how it could work better. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ifg-events-864374 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374.md ## Episodes - [Book launch: The Brexit Effect, 2016–2026](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/book-launch-the-brexit-effect-2016-2026) — 2026-06-26T11:17:00+00:00 - [How can government close the early years attainment gap for boys from low-income families?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/how-can-government-close-the-early-years-attainment-gap-for-boys-from-low-income-families) — 2026-06-18T14:04:00+00:00 - [Lessons from Covid: How to avoid fraud in future crises?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/lessons-from-covid-how-to-avoid-fraud-in-future-crises) — 2026-06-11T15:23:00+00:00 - [Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP: keynote speech](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/rt-hon-kemi-badenoch-mp-keynote-speech) — 2026-06-09T11:28:00+00:00 - [Are private members' bills a good way for MPs to decide on difficult policy issues?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/are-private-members-bills-a-good-way-for-mps-to-decide-on-difficult-policy-issues) — 2026-06-04T14:42:00+00:00 - [Chaos returns to Westminster: What next for Keir Starmer and the government?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/chaos-returns-to-westminster-what-next-for-keir-starmer-and-the-government) — 2026-05-19T11:50:00+00:00 - [What does the elections bill mean for the next general election?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/what-does-the-elections-bill-mean-for-the-next-general-election) — 2026-05-19T08:45:00+00:00 - [What does the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act mean for children’s social care?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/what-does-the-children-s-wellbeing-and-schools-act-mean-for-children-s-social-care) — 2026-05-12T15:09:00+00:00 - [What next for restoration and renewal of parliament?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/ifg-events-864374/what-next-for-restoration-and-renewal-of-parliament) — 2026-05-11T15:54:00+00:00 - [A state rewired?
