This is an absolutely STELLAR line-up of experts to help build the new digital centre of government 🤩. So excited about what's possible with the combination of political will, a galvanised DSIT, & this calibre of expertise, intellect and judgement gov.uk/government/news/tech-…

Resonating with a discussion @nesta_uk 's PolicyLive hosted on 'Data-Driven Missions': Throwing more of 'the same' at the problem isn't necessarily the way to get different (and/or better) outcomes, as Tom puts FAR more eloquently . Hit the target, miss the point?
New blog: I have written about “same but more-ism”, a discourse in public policy which means big dogs in their field often ask for more of the same resource (PhD students, “Bobbies on the beat”, etc). What does this mean if you want to do structural reform?

Question for the group: what happened to the Gov.UK Performance Platform? This format just feels so much more user-friendly, at least from first glance!

Civil servants doing some v cool things with data for the Data Challenge (which I am just discovering is a thing?!) And it's not just chatbots 😁 How do we do more of this?? And are they being scaled up? datachallenge.uk/finals/

This government’s answer to DPDIB announced! Labour are keeping the good bits (progress on @SciTechgovuk's Trust Framework, greater powers for ICO, and smart data provisions) and binning the bad (e.g. *that* DWP clause) Excited to continue supporting DSIT with this work! ✨

📚 Our narrow curriculum is failing our kids - it's time to go Broad and Bold. Twice as many Britons think their local schools are getting worse (39%) than think they are getting better (19%). This is also true for parents - 41% think local schools are getting worse.
