State of the State 2025

Read the full report  

The ‘State of the State’, in partnership with Deloitte, explores key issues facing the UK government and public services. The report is based on an exclusive Ipsos public poll, and more than 80 interviews with public sector leaders. Together these provide both an insider’s view of the challenges facing an incoming government, and a citizen’s view of what matters and how government is performing.  

The backdrop to the 13th report is a new Government with an ambitious, mission-driven agenda. While both the public and public sector leaders remain concerned about the pressures on public services, they are also reporting a more optimistic outlook. 

Read the full report to find out what the public want prioritised, their views on tax and spend, and their level of trust in different parts of government. And to see what public sector leaders are focused on and their vision for what the State could look like by 2035.
