Surely now is the time for some radical changes to the way civil servants are paid. This would start with a zero cost change whereby pay was increased and pensions reduced. What kind of incentive system concentrates on giving you so much after you have retired ?

I went to the same nursery school as Wes Streeting and grew up on the housing estate opposite his.

Here is a little thread on what the East End was like at that time.

Take it as the East End equivalent of those Johnson / Cameron era Old Etonians explaining what Pop was like.

🚨 Continuing the consequences of research for 'Stanley Baldwin: Life After Downing Street'.

✍️🏻 Viscount Davidson wrote a memorandum for Neville Chamberlain, but did not send it, about 'Things to Remember' as Prime Minister.

🤔 Still relevant to today, do you think?

Tras su excelente “The Aristocracy of Talent”, @adwooldridge sigue explorando los desafíos que plantea la defensa de sociedades libres, basadas en el mérito y con igualdad real de oportunidades, en un libro que se inscribe en la mejor tradición del humanismo liberal. Gran libro.

Enjoyed speaking to @MattChorley on BBC R5 Live - answering a question from actor Alex Macqueen about the Prime Minister's office in No.10 Downing Street. As you do.

At the Attlee Foundation lecture, hosted by @thestrandgroup, Sir John Major warned democracy is under pressure at home and abroad: if mainstream politics fails to deliver, more extreme forces may fill the gap. A call to rebuild trust, defend democratic values, and take the rules-based world seriously: https://t.co/u8LIJvq4eY

Another year another former PM. No MA programme like it.

Only on @thestrandgroup's MA Government Studies @KingsCollegeLon can you ask a former British Prime Minister to help you with your essays.

A huge privilege to chair an exceptional final session of our No.10 and Conservative Years modules with @David_Cameron this year.

[Peter Just @exPremiers]

@UkNatArchives @JonDavis73 @thestrandgroup ✍️🏻'Whatever we think of him, we should recognise that past prime ministers have important experience on which the nation should draw.'

📰 Contemporary chronicler of ex-PMs, @JohnRentoul, is fascinating and correct about Sir John as a former PM.
