Found myself saying "reform with a small r" this morning, like it's the new "conservative with a small c"

Incredible footage of @EmmanuelMacron and other leaders on a call with @realDonaldTrump. This is what international relations looks like. Fascinating.
Macron : "Donald, je sais qu’il est très tôt ce matin pour vous..." Séquence inédite filmée dans les coulisses diplomatiques européennes à Kiev le 10 mai 2025. 👉 « La guerre, Donald Trump et nous » mardi 20 janvier sur https://t.co/PaFR6Ej5Lf et France 2.

The courage of all the Iranian people currently rising up against their vile repressive regime is astonishing. Go for your freedom, you heroes.👊

Shame that all the commentary on the Scottish, Welsh and local elections are about what they will mean for the PM and Westminster. We should be talking about what they mean for Scotland, Wales and life in the UK!
How will Starmer handle a possible hammering at the ballot box in May?

For the past 14 years, @DeloitteUK and @restate_thinks have published an annual report on government: The State of the State. It blends a survey of the public alongside interviews with senior officials. Last year's edition commentated on the raft of plans, strategies and

Useful to see emerging thinking on civil service reform from @reformparty_uk via @danny__kruger. What's encouraging here is the empathy with high-performing officials. Talking about making the most of the best civil servants makes a refreshing change in these debates

Whitehall is bloated – and civil servants are miserable. We will cut Whitehall down to size – and make it a happier, better place to work

Plenty of policy takeaways in the latest report on lifelong learning from @OECD @OECDEduSkills. Includes shoutouts for France's personal training accounts, Estonia's roll-out of AI tools for students and teachers, and China's University for Older Adults. Well worth a read.

No mention of Labour's five missions in today's Budget or the Red Book that is published with it. The latter mentions government's growth mission, plus one honourable mention of the clean energy mission, but none of the others. Government seems to have shifted to three

Surprised to see the Office for Value Money "has now closed...having delivered on its remit", according to Budget documents. When it was announced pre-election, I assumed it would be a permanent fixture in government. Apparently not.

Deputy Speaker @Nus_Ghani absolutely right to tell the government off before the Budget statement. It's incredible to see ministers pre-announcing Budget measures before the actual statement in Parliament

Most people are fixated on tax rises in today's Budget but I'll be looking at the spending side of the equation. And specifically, will it include any cuts and efficiencies for Whitehall and public services?

Debate in parliament on police and crime commissioners surfaced that a 'significant' police reform white paper will be out by the end of the year i.e. in the next month. It's been a year since the (then) Home Secretary announced a package of reform

Shame to see PCCs go. I can name mine and voted in his election, but I guess I'm in the minority. But sorry to see a layer of democracy go
I am abolishing Police and Crime Commissioners. For over a decade, they have overseen our police forces but have failed to provide the sufficient democratic oversight they were set up to do. A change that will save us millions and see money reinvested into frontline policing.
