Description
Reforming the Civil Service is the biggest of Big Asks. Can Dominic Cummings pull off his radical plans in the middle of a once-in-a-century health crisis? And do we need fewer “fixers” who change jobs a lot, and more long-term experts? Plus, the Russia Report: what went wrong in protecting the integrity of our elections? Who should feel most embarrassed: Government, security services or civil servants? And what should be done next? “Framing Civil Service reform as ‘us against them’ is not going to encourage civil servants to give their best advice.” – Alex Thomas“Civil Service reform is quite nerdy so it’s unusual for politicians to give it such attention.” – Cath HaddonPresented by Bronwen Maddox with the IfG’s Alex Thomas, Cath Haddon and Emma Norris.
