Surely now is the time for some radical changes to the way civil servants are paid. This would start with a zero cost change whereby pay was increased and pensions reduced. What kind of incentive system concentrates on giving you so much after you have retired ?
Civil Service World@CSWnews
Darren Jones said this is "the biggest change to senior civil service pay in decades" civilserviceworld.com/news/article/m…

I went to the same nursery school as Wes Streeting and grew up on the housing estate opposite his.
Here is a little thread on what the East End was like at that time.
Take it as the East End equivalent of those Johnson / Cameron era Old Etonians explaining what Pop was like.

🚨 Continuing the consequences of research for 'Stanley Baldwin: Life After Downing Street'.
✍️🏻 Viscount Davidson wrote a memorandum for Neville Chamberlain, but did not send it, about 'Things to Remember' as Prime Minister.
🤔 Still relevant to today, do you think?
Peter Just@exPremiers
😍 And not just the joy of second hand books. 🥰 The joy of historical links too. ✍️🏻The Davidsons, a couple close to Stanley Baldwin, writing to Edward Heath, the man who, 14 years later, echoed Baldwin's words around 'one nation' when entering Downing Street as Prime Minister.

Tras su excelente “The Aristocracy of Talent”, @adwooldridge sigue explorando los desafíos que plantea la defensa de sociedades libres, basadas en el mérito y con igualdad real de oportunidades, en un libro que se inscribe en la mejor tradición del humanismo liberal. Gran libro.

At the Attlee Foundation lecture, hosted by @thestrandgroup, Sir John Major warned democracy is under pressure at home and abroad: if mainstream politics fails to deliver, more extreme forces may fill the gap. A call to rebuild trust, defend democratic values, and take the rules-based world seriously: politicsuk.com/news/sir-john-…

@UkNatArchives @JonDavis73 @thestrandgroup ✍️🏻'Whatever we think of him, we should recognise that past prime ministers have important experience on which the nation should draw.'
📰 Contemporary chronicler of ex-PMs, @JohnRentoul, is fascinating and correct about Sir John as a former PM.
