"The problem in Britain today is that when those trade-offs involve risk, we too often default to the status quo, and the consequences are becoming severe." There is no alternative to a radical rewiring of Whitehall. @chriscurtis94.bsky.social makes the case 👉 re-state.co.uk/publications...

Civil service reform has a tendency to focus on policy & a proportionately small number employed in SW1. If the PM is serious about rewiring the State, he must also focus on the 60% of day-to-day spending through public bodies. A quick🧵on our report Quangocracy, from last week
