.@stephenkb offers his reflections on how the IfG could be the best it could be. He says he was struck by the Afghan withdrawal, in contrast to 'no deal' Brexit, it could not divert the people that it needed to work on this. #IfGDirector @stephenkb SB: There are challenges of an aging population and net zero, and UK also needs to rethink it's economic outside the EU. The government has identified the big challenges but it's not clear if it can meet them #IfGDirector

BM: Tony Blair is right that the government is losing the capacity to identify and solve the country's biggest problems. There are many things that do work well - like the vaccine roll out - but examples of the opposite are "too frequent for comfort". BM: Britain accepts compliments for government when it should not There is a state of complacency that is corrosive for public trust. On energy regulation, on the Afghan exit, on the postmaster scandal and fraud on pandemic loans #IfGDirector

Lord Maude has been asked to review the Cabinet Office - @bronwenmaddox will be discussing with him how it has performed, especially during the pandemic.
