@OwenJones84 Because at a time like this the best results will be achieved through a united national effort, and positivity has a rallying effect whereas nitpicking just doesn’t.

I’m sad that Big Ben/Elizabeth Tower will be obscured by construction works for another 2 years (of four). It’s kind of like a parent covering a child’s eyes during the scary bits of a film, but the scene is Brexit, and it’s a really really long scene..

Asymmetrical enforcement of intellectual property rights post-Brexit could push up the costs of research and supply in the pharmaceutical industry. Strong impetus for seeking close UK-EU alignment on IP in the future

Very proud and honoured to receive this! I continue to find travel literature to be some of the most insightful, entertaining and ultimately human historical source material out there. It's the bedrock of research into the history of travel, exploration and cultural encounter.

The prettiest charts show the ugliest things on the road to...finding things out.. Not quite as catchy as #Kanye, but hey @instituteforgov

New Freedom of Information statistics out today. They're not pretty, but at least my chart is...

[James Taylor @James_Taylor66]

Excellent recommendations for data that needs to be published by government from @instituteforgov #OpenData

[James Taylor @James_Taylor66]

@RATWOT @ben_guerin @grumpyfactcheck @instituteforgov I agree. My article doesn't dispute that people guilty of fraud etc should face the consequences. I'm not making an either/or point - just saying RHI inquiry must think about recommendations for long term, and how to make the practicable.

[James Taylor @James_Taylor66]

@RATWOT @ben_guerin @grumpyfactcheck @instituteforgov Certainly cover-ups and lies are difficult to combat. That aside, there could be changes to what is currently required in the way of review of schemes' and policies' design and structure that would make it harder for politicians to go on lying unnoticed.

The Renewable Heat Incentive public inquiry gets top marks for scrutiny and depth. Now it must be just as diligent in devising specific measures that ensure such scandals can never be repeated.

"But if we let the British pick the raisins out of our rules, that would have serious consequences." Barnier's right. If there's one things I CAN'T STAND, it's rules that have had all the raisins picked out...URGH

“Whether people backed leave or remain, nobody voted for this mess. That is why the momentum behind the demand for a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal is building.” https://t.co/yX6St0sljp

Today's papers are only the start of #NoDealBrexit preparation - there's a long way to go, and the big questions (Ireland, EU citizens here) are still unresolved...

This makes a series of good points. Although I struggle to believe, as it suggests, that getting a majority of parliamentarians to vote in favour of clear set of negotiating objectives after A50 would have been straightforward.

NEW BLOG: The executive's Brexit: the UK Constitution after Miller. @ProfMarkElliott, @Jack_R_Williams and Alison Young argue that the Miller case offered parliament a golden opportunity to shape Brexit, which it has not taken.

Very interesting breakdown of dating app data in this week's Economist. 'Reducing romance to number crunching may sound crass...but many phenomena that appear complex from a human perspective often turn out to be simple seen through disinterested data'

Fantastic new spaceship charts from @instituteforgov Team Data. HMRC has a strikingly streamlined grade distribution from top to bottom.
