doing @instituteforgov #netzero project, colleagues we spoke to are much more familiar with climate change mitigation, emissions targets, than "adaptation" - the rail crash in Scotland shows why this matters.
We've known for a long time that a likely impact of climate change will be more heatwaves and more intense rainfall.. #adaptation means getting ready for both - as part of a wider drive on resilience.
last year's assessment on adaptation by @theCCCuk (yes, they look at adaptation too) was damning.. things had gone backwards over the past 10 years - verdict on UK govt theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
their assessment suggested Scotland doing better theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
But the key message is that failure to adapt has consequences now... and setting an ambitious net zero target is not a get out of jail card...

with news Boris Johnson might be making a come back, good time for @UKandEU to publish a stocktake on how far we have got on his 2019 promise to "Get Brexit done" - an in depth look at how the state has adapted to Brexit. ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…
First we look at the impact on the size and shape of the civil service: lots more people - numbers up by over 100k since 2016. Not all Brexit of course - covid, asylum etc. But a lot are. And a lot of those are long-term jobs. Brexit = British bureaucrats
We've had a turbulent time since the referendum. Lots of political change. But lots of machinery of government changes as well. Remember DExEU? We now (probably) have reached the end of post-Brexit Mogging with the creation of @biztradegovuk

Watching HoL constitution committee with @nickmacpherson2 @marksedwill and former first civil service commissioner on dismissal of perm secs. Nick says always been removals but volume has gone up and notes Scholar removed preemptively by Kwarteng
Note that @AlexGAThomas and I gave evidence earlier to this. Sedwill also points out similar dismissal of his successor as national security adviser "equally damaging".
Sedwill suggests cttee should investigate the "underlying reasons" for the increase in the number of removals. Sedwill says due to a "mix" of reasons. Since coalition PM can choose from all the appointable candidates emerging from CSC-led process.

This is very good from @DavidGauke. To pick up and expand on one point. When I was in private office, I saw my role as shielding the minister from sub-standard advice. I would tell my fellow civil servants their stuff was not good enough to put in.
@DavidGauke same message - but very different when coming from a relatively junior civil servant than from a minister. And if someone was poor in a meeting, we'd call them or their boss afterwards saying the minister was unimpressed and they needed to up their game
@DavidGauke and if we had a serious issue, we would tell their boss that the minister had lost confidence in X and they needed to sort it. Or haul in the permanent secretary.

Was annoyed at 7.00 and annoyed again at 8.00 by @BBCr4today news presentation of the "aid cap". There is no "aid cap". There was a legislated target of 0.7% GDP to be spent on aid.. a target, not a "cap". No maximum
Rishi Sunak reduced that to 0.5% "temporarily" without legislating. Now looked as though that will be baked in to future forecasts. But then we found out govt is classifying lots of UK spend on refugees as "aid"
That spending is going up -- why UK will score itself as spending more on "aid" - perhaps breaking the cash limit (because it can't cut other aid enough to accommodate it).

Another day - remembering back to the leadership election of 2019. @DavidGauke told us why the Conservatives went for the by then unstoppable Boris Johnson
Brexit party chair Richard Tice told us how ABB - Anyone but Boris had changed post those disastrous (for the Conservatives) European elections - and "did for the Brexit party"
.@OwenPaterson claimed credit for Johnson's win for the ERG

In two weeks time Boris Johnson will be replaced as Prime Minister.. but he has been a critical political figure of the past decade so over the next fortnight I am going to dip into @UKandEU #Brexitwitnessarchive to paint a picture of him
Lets start with early Johnson. Former Eurocrat Jonathan Faull told us why there might have been a presumption that Johnson would understand Europe and the EU Image
But of course, his journalism in Brussels was about identifying comedy examples of EU red tape - it was on such a hunt that @OwenPaterson first encountered him and gives insight into his journalistic technique Image
