Win is a boost for Leader Kemi Badenoch, who has shredded previous Conservative energy pledges
The triumph of a democratic socialist in the D.C. mayoral race is the latest sign that younger urban voters are turbo-charging candidates who promise to go big on affordability and take on President Trump. Why it matters: While Washington joined New York and Seattle as the latest big city to elect a democratic socialist, Janeese Lewis George's victory was less about her political label than about punishing prices and anger at the president. State of play: Lewis George, who handily defeated a moderate in the Democratic primary, marks a break from decades of business-friendly politicians running the nation's capital. Three trends explain her rise: Unhappiness with the city's direction stood at the highest level (55%) since Marion Barry's reign 28 years ago, per a Washington Post-Schar School poll. A lot of that disaffection was driven by Trump, but there was also a shout for change after three terms of Mayor Muriel Bowser.Washington's influx of white residents, who tend to be younger and more progressive, made winning that vote even more important, and Lewis George ran up the score in neighborhoods where they've settled. She also proved critics wrong by winning in majority-Black, working-class communities — the only place she lost was the city's wealthiest enclave, Northwest's Ward 3. Nearly half of D.C.'s registered Democrats have a favorable view of socialism, per the poll — so it's not a turnoff. Three other progressives led D.C. Council races, giving the presumptive mayor powerful allies. Zoom in: Lewis George appears to have broken through by: Echoing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, she made the cost of living her No. 1 issue. Her rival, Kenyan McDuffie, ran on public safety and called her soft on crime, even as violence was fading as a top issue. Assembling a potent get-out-the-vote machine that encompassed almost every major local union plus the Democratic Socialists of America's local chapter, which helped knock on what she says were 200,000 doors.Crafting

Brexit at 10: Regulation melissa.ittoo Wed, 17/06/2026 - 14:54 Much of the argument for Brexit was regulatory. 5 Comment Matthew Gill Institute for Government Yes Brexit Regulation Trade Artificial intelligence Utilities Business Cameron government May government Johnson government Sunak government No The Trade and Cooperation Agreement was designed to maximise regulatory autonomy – for Great Britain at least – by taking the UK firmly outside the orbit of the EU’s single market. And there has since been welcome innovation in UK regulation, which is being driven by individual regulators, regulatory networks, the Regulatory Innovation Office and government departments. 2 Gill M, Regulation and growth: Will the government’s strategy deliver?, Institute for Government, 2025, www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/regulatory-action-plan But much of this aims to resolve inefficiencies in the UK’s national regulatory arrangements, rather than to diverge from the EU (or lead the world). Regulation has been front and centre of implementing Brexit, but not in the way its proponents might have hoped. Related content Regulation and growth Only modest divergence from EU regulation has been achieved Five years ago, the IfG said it would be hard for the UK to realise the promised regulatory benefits of Brexit, 8 Rutter J and Marshal J, Taking back control of regulation: Managing divergence from EU rules, Institute for Government, 2021, www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publication/report/taking-back-control-regulation and so it has proved. Early enthusiasm for ‘sunsetting’ laws that were initially transferred onto the statute book to smooth the transition from the EU – as discussed by Jonathan Jones in this series – was quickly frustrated by business concerns about regulatory uncertainty and, in the case of GB businesses exporting to the EU, the cost and complexity of satisfying two regimes. The UK’s attempts to go it alone have sometimes proved unworkable and had to be qui

Brexit at 10: How has leaving the EU changed UK government? melissa.ittoo Tue, 16/06/2026 - 12:15 The IfG looks back on a decade since the UK left the EU. 5 Comment Jill Rutter Institute for Government Yes Brexit Civil service Public finances Public bodies International relations Parliament and the constitution Devolution Civil servants Trade Public spending General election Government reform Foreign affairs European Union No The result of the referendum immediately cost David Cameron the position of prime minister he had held for six years – having governed with a Conservative majority for one year, following five years of what in retrospect looks like remarkably stable coalition with the Liberal Democrats. That vote itself was called by Cameron in response to external pressure from Nigel Farage’s UKIP and internal pressure from the growing ranks of Conservative Eurosceptics. It ushered in a period of unprecedented political turbulence which has yet to end. David Cameron speaks outside Downing Street following his resignation as prime minister after the UK voted to leave the European Union in a referendum vote. Chaos descends on Westminster and Whitehall Cameron’s successor, Theresa May, could not find a Brexit compromise that both the EU and her party would accept, suffering a series of record-breaking Commons defeats along the way. The chaos broadcast weekly from the Palace of Westminster was matched in Whitehall, where ministerial churn went into overdrive with, unhelpfully, the newly minted Department for Exiting the EU particularly hit by policy-driven resignations. Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker address a media conference at EU headquarters in Brussels. Ministers were drawn into conflict with the courts over their handling of Brexit, and relations with the devolved governments became ever more fractious, with SNP first minister Nicola Sturgeon using the breakdown to reopen the independence argument apparently “settled” in 20

Hundreds of people turned out in London Sunday for a pro-Palestinian march banned by the government after police said it was organised by a group "supportive of the Iranian regime". Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood said earlier this week she had agreed to the ban to "prevent serious public disorder" in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, where Iran has launched strikes in retaliation against a US-Israeli offensive
