    *LINK TO VIEW SLIDES REFERENCED* The recording of the presentation of the new report from Our Scottish Future. Titled, "A Little Less Conversation: Closing Scotland's Implementation Gap", the report argues that the successes of devolution has been stymied in recent years by a combination of “too much politics, too much government, a failure to cooperate, and a centralised political culture”. It praises several successes under the Scottish Government but concludes that Ministers too often “govern by press release”. The panel consists of report author, Jamie Gollings, OSF Chair, Prof Jim Gallagher and former civil servants Philip Rycroft and Lucy Hunter Blackburn. 📈 Link to slides: https://ourscottishfuture.org/closing-scotlands-implementation-gap-slides/ 👉 Read the full report here: https://ourscottishfuture.org/wp-cont...
