Congratulations to Mark Carney - and to his wife, Diana, former colleague at @ODI.Global and formidable think tank intellectual in her own right.

Will any Ministers (or other MPs on the Government payroll) resign in protest at the aid cut?

All sympathy to recipients of UK oda facing cuts - and also to FCDO aid staff having to deal with the cut. I wonder how many aid staff will just leave, and what the long-term consequences will be for UK capacity?

This is from UK Aid Statistics. Today's decision to cut ODA to 0.3% of GNI takes us back 30 years - and that is before 1st year refugee costs are taken out. A sad day.

Very sad to learn that Stephen Biggs has died. He was an inspiration on agricultural and rural development at @IDS.ac.uk in the early 1970s, and remained both committed and grounded right to the end. RIP. @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social
