Possibly fair, yep. Some promising signs but I’d say Labour yet to push things on in the way GDS did.

I had lots a few years ago. The salty one is especially good (!)

I'm already getting lots of feedback on this one! Will be interested to know what others think. /End

I also look at what we could do about this. Modernising legacy discplines, giving parity of status and airtime to contemporary disciplines, and running some radical experiments that turn the whole operation upside down - seeing what it would be like to put modern methods in charge. 4/n

I paint portraits of these disicplines to see if this helps us understand the mess we're in. From the outmoded 'media grid' of comms to the plodding and mechanistic mental models of political strategy, these old ways of thinking stop government from moving with agility and confidence. 3/n

In this post I explore whether this is due to legacy thinking in a small number of dominant disciplines: political strategy, comms, and a traditionalist version of policy-making. 2/n

Not sure! It was a nice metal one though. If that’s what you mean?

Which is to say someone is literally walking around Canary Wharf with an Allen key stealing bits and bobs from bikes. And what, selling them for a pound? 🤦‍♂️
