Defra will be appointing someone to carry forward the work of the farming and countryside programme shortly and will share info about who is taking over asap.

I'm also really excited to have the chance to help make public policies and services work better at scale in my new role.

I'm massively grateful to everyone I've had the pleasure of working with over the last 5 years and hugely proud of the progress we've made together.

That list is my and @contentdesign.london’s Finest Work of All Time, and I will have you know that (a) absolutely nobody takes any notice of it at all, at least not when it comes to policy-related content, and (b) if only they did, then all the main problems would be instantly solved.

Also, orchestrating / navigating the operating environment > being right, every time. Being right is at best insufficient, and normally irrelevant

100% - a lot of opportunities come in fancy dress as disasters / there are almost always opportunities lurking if you’re prepared to look around for them. Opportunism entrepreneurialism are the Main Things you need to make anything much good happen, it turns out.
