Senior Fellow of Practice @BlavatnikSchool. Student of good ideas & sound evidence. Impatient optimist. Up for open debate. Policy, government & a bit of rugby.
Delighted to meet @Mather_Keir on my first day in Parliament. Looking forward to learning from old hands like him. @BlavatnikSchool is well represented in this new intake! @CalumMillerLD
Excited to read the first edition of this new publication from @HeywoodFndation ! Do sign up for free future content on how to deliver better public services, develop stronger public policy and build a more robust and resilient public sector.
We are delighted to announce the imminent launch of the Heywood Quarterly! This will build on the Heritage of the Civil Service Quarterly - founded by Jeremy Heywood - to share best practice in public sector policy development and implementation.
If you are a man & have not looked at the content of attacks on women politicians, do so. The level, intensity, violence & vileness is extreme & unacceptable. We must work together to counter it on #InternationalWomensDay & through this year of elections. https://t.co/LVJxT1ayqj
So grateful to @RoryStewartUK for speaking to students, staff and faculty @BlavatnikSchool Devastating critique of where we are in this age of populism along with a passionate call to reinvigorate our political systems.

Delighted to be selected as the prospective Lib Dem candidate for Bicester and Woodstock. The next General Election offers voters here a straight choice between the Lib Dems and the Tories. I will be a strong, local voice, standing up for my community. https://t.co/63YL0ZrY4t

Delighted to welcome the brilliant @kathyhall127 to @BlavatnikSchool in May. Can’t believe it’s been over a decade since I joined this amazing place. Looking forward to the next chapter.
So thrilled that @kathyhall127 is joining us in May as Chief Operating Officer (freeing @CalumAMiller to lead on specific programs). Kathy is a fantastic public leader who will help @Blavatnikschool go from strength to strength.
This #InternationalWomensDay, I'm thinking of all the amazing role models in women's sport who inspire my daughters, my sons, me and thousands of others every day. They are challenging gender stereotypes and changing lives every time they take to the pitch. #LetGirlsPlay
Reshuffling FOUR departments is not trivial. It may look like it gives govt more "focus" on key priorities, but the immediate impact will be negative for impact/ outcomes. Disruption is not good by definition; change needs to be well managed by design. This has not been.
Quick reminder to @RishiSunak that Whitehall reorganisations are usually expensive and rarely productive. @NAOorguk "The decisions to reorganise departments ... are often taken at short notice and with inadequate understanding of what could go wrong." https://t.co/4UcPmeaFLL

@skynewsniall Thanks for sharing that, Niall. Brought a tear to the eye. And sent me off here: was all I could think to do to show my respect for the big man. https://t.co/X0fb7tEO7q
I'll never forget the day Doddie Weir stooped under the doorframe into my English class at school. I was 11 and in awe. He was a giant in every respect. A commanding presence on the pitch and a source of amazing inspiration off it, especially these last six years. RIP.
