The New Netwar: Countering Extremism Online

In 2017 Policy Exchanged published The New Netwar: Countering Extremism Online, which provided a comprehensive analysis of the struggle against online extremism. It included a major survey of public opinion which showed that two-thirds of people believe the leading social media companies are not doing enough to combat online radicalisation. Three-quarters of people want the companies to do more to locate and remove extremist content. The report explored a range of policy options for interdicting the supply-chain of extremist content.

Just About Managing classes

In June 2015, Policy Exchange published ‘Overlooked But Decisive: Connecting with England’s Just about Managing classes’. The report examined the values and political attitudes of C1 and C2 voters by the
NRS social grade The NRS social grades are a system of demographic classification used in the United Kingdom. They were originally developed by the National Readership Survey (NRS) to classify readers, but are now used by many other organisations for wider appli ...
classifications in marginal seats in England. The author of the report, James Frayne, argued that these families rely heavily on public services like state schools and the NHS, and rely on a stable economy, low inflation and low interest rates to keep their jobs and ensure their mortgage payments are affordable. The phrase 'Just About Managing', coined by Policy Exchange and now abbreviated to JAMs, was reportedly adopted by civil servants ahead of the Autumn Statement in November 2016 to describe the people who Theresa May’s government hoped to help.


Education

Policy Exchange’s work on education is acknowledged as some of its most influential contribution to debate – Schools Week wrote in February 2017 that "Policy Exchange’s power can be seen in the impressive number of policies foreshadowed in their reports: reducing the frequency of Ofsted inspections, sharpening up accountability, removing vocational qualifications from league tables in favour of a focus on so-called academic GCSEs."


More Homes: Fewer Empty Buildings

In March 2011, Policy Exchange published a report that argued government should reform the Use Classes Order to make it much easier to move buildings and land from Use Classes A (retail) and B (employment) to C3 (dwelling houses). The report postulated that such a move would result in a more collaborative and flexible development model that delivers both more and better development. In April 2011, the Government produced a consultation document on reducing planning controls relating to the conversion of commercial properties to residential use. The results of the public consultation were published in July 2012. The summary document showed that just 12% of respondents supported the proposed reform of the use class order in relation to commercial to residential conversion. In January 2013 various news sources reported that the Planning Minister Nick Boles was planning on pushing ahead with the reform of the use class order, in line with the Policy Exchange proposals of 2011.


Modernising the United Kingdom

In August 2019, Policy Exchange published a report looking at ways the new Conservative government could work to modersnise the United Kingdom. The report argued that the new government should pursue a ‘Grand Strategy to modernise the United Kingdom, drawing on the strength of the Union to stimulate local areas through both an audacious programme of infrastructure investment and further devolution of powers.’ It pushed for greater devolution and enhancement of community and government partnerships. The report was cited as an insight into how Johnson’s government plan to strengthen the Union.


McDonnellomics

In October 2019, in anticipation of the UK December election, Policy Exchange published ''McDonnellomics: How Labour’s economic agenda would transform the UK.'' The paper looked at John McDonnell’s policy approach and political inspiration. It argued that ‘‘McDonnellomics’ would represent the biggest shift in UK economic policy since the advent of Thatcherism.’ Lord Mandelson wrote a foreword to the paper and argued: “Instead of moving Britain forward, with new ideas and utilising the opportunities that digital technology and AI, for example, offer us to transform the economy and public services, a Corbyn-McDonnell government wants to reassert the statist mindset that New Labour disavowed.”


Academic freedom in the UK

In November 2019, Policy Exchange published a paper arguing that universities should be places of free speech and should avoid a ‘culture of conformity’. Polling that informed the paper revealed that ‘a solid core of 30% of students are consistently in favour of free speech’ however noted that ‘cancel culture’ was becoming prevalent on UK campuses.

endorsed the paper in an article in The Times in which he wrote, ‘Despite the “snowflake” stereotype, recent polling by the Policy Exchange think tank shows a large number of students want an environment in which they’re free to hear a diversity of views. Yet one only needs to look at the worsening situation on US campuses to see the importance of taking action here.’ He went on to claim that the current situation was so serious that, ‘if universities don’t take action, the government will.’


Whitehall Reimagined and Government Reimagined

In December 2019, a report looking into civil service reform was published by Policy Exchange. The report argued for policy proposals that would make ‘the civil service more democratically accountable and better able to deliver on the mandate of the government of the day.’ The report was widely covered by the media as it was highlighted that Dominic Cummings was ‘used as a source by the think tank Policy Exchange for its new briefing paper "Whitehall Reimagined", which recommended that the Prime Minister’s office and special advisers should lead fundamental reforms to "unlock the potential" of the civil service.’ In October 2020, Policy Exchange established a Commission of "heavy-hitters" to examine how the Civil Service could be improved and modernised. The Policy Exchange Reform of Government Commission was composed of Dame Patricia Hodgson (Chair), Rt Hon Hazel Blears, Rt Hon Sir Lockwood Smith, Lord Macpherson of Earl’s Court,

The report was endorsed by a range of figures including Rt Hon Michael Gove MP (then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster), Sir Howard Bernstein (former Chief Executive of Manchester City Council), and Dame Sue Owen (former Permanent Secretary at DCMS). In June 2021, the Government set out a Declaration on Government Reform, which echoed the recommendations made in ''Government Reimagined''.
