Join us at 12.30 when we will be dissecting the consequences of the Mandelson vetting scandal after Sir Olly Robbins’s evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/event/peter-...
This really is the end of a fantastic era for @conunitucl.bsky.social - Meg Russell has led the Unit from strength to strength - brilliantly straddling the academic/practitioner landscapes - big shoes to fill (but glad to hear she will be continuing to contribute her expertise)!
Fantastic to see both of the brilliant @emmanorris.bsky.social and @gemmatetlow.bsky.social recognised in this year's Women in Westminster top 100.
Both are incredibly impressive colleagues and I've learnt so much from them. www.politicshome.com/in-focus/wiw...
This is spot-on
Very much this. Westminster relying on muscle memory of two-party politics is in no fit shape for politics as it is now playing out in the country.
Loved this piece — We’re really not talking enough about what multiparty Britain means for the rest of our democratic institutions which are very much two-party shaped!
That’s how we normally do it it’s true… but solutions in such circumstances are rarely perfect (see the late lamented (by me) FTPA) so wouldn’t it be nice to do some advance planning??? I mean it’s not really even advance as we are already there…
👍
Everyone is analysing the implications of the byelection for Keir Starmer and Labour but the most important lessons are for democracy - my latest for @instituteforgovernment.org.uk www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/gort...
The @instituteforgovernment.org.uk take on Chris Wormald’s brief tenure as cabinet secretary.
It is existential for the civil service that his successor learns from his mistakes.
Great from @alexgathomas.bsky.social and @hannahkeenan.bsky.social www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/next...
Keir Starmer will be looking for his third Chief of Staff since becoming PM, after the departure of Morgan McSweeney.
What is the role of Chief of Staff to the PM, how did it arise and what is the difference with other key roles in No10?

Latest fascinating & comprehensive analysis from the @instituteforgovernment.org.uk team of Labour’s public services performance… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
The Cabinet Office has relaxed the rules on civil servants speaking in public. The government is still too defensive about who can speak, but this is a positive step, say @alexgathomas.bsky.social and @drhannahwhite.bsky.social
