Thanks Ash. We get hundreds of applications to our programmes and our Fellows come from all walks of life. We’ve had software engineers, novelists, military people, restauranteurs, film editors, prison officers, teachers, lawyers, and physicists, among many others. Lots of people make successful repeat applications.

Britain isn’t working. We’re trying to fix it. We need more high-calibre MPs, advisers, civil servants, commentators, or something else entirely. Could you be one of them?

I think the Civic Future fellowship is one of the best tools the country has for creating the next generation of talent, and I encourage any eligible person to apply for it.

[Marnie Riches @Marnie_Riches]

I completed @civic_future's Public Leadership Programme and it was transformative. I've since set up an arts policy think-tank in a bid to get dysfunction out of the arts. But maybe you want to be an MP or Civil Servant or Policy guru. This year's application deadline for Civic Future programmes is looming. Could public service be for you? Go for it!

[Marc d'Abbadie (aka dAbz) @MarcdAbbadie]

👇 - highly recommended!

[Helen Chandler-Wilde @h_chandlerwilde]

We need better people in our politics. Civic Future's fellowship programme is ace. I've had the chance to speak to a couple of their previous cohorts, and the talent density is really high.

Today is the last day to apply - go for it!

'Munira Mirza’s Mission: Get Better Politicians' on Secrets of Statecraft with @aroberts_andrew

Munira reflects on her time at the highest levels of government and why political leadership has deteriorated across liberal democracies.

[Hoover Institution @HooverInst]

Munira Mirza—former Director of No. 10��s Policy Unit under Boris Johnson—joins @aroberts_andrew's Secrets of Statecraft to discuss why leadership is faltering across liberal democracies.

From Brexit and COVID to meritocracy and civic duty, she argues short-termism, media incentives, and a broken elite pipeline are driving talent out of public life—and what it would take to rebuild a serious governing class.

[Tom Westgarth @Tom_Westgarth15]

Not a bad location to discuss how to revive the state and world order @txp_io @civic_future.

Thanks so much to @b_judah, John Bew, and Munira Mirza for a brilliant discussion.
