Under these plans, the ‘Downing Street’ footprint would span the entire street, not just No.10.

While the PM’s Office would stay in No.10, other functions could be based in Nos. 9, 11 & 12 – plus parts of the neighbouring buildings on Downing Street.

This new Downing Street would be built around four core functions, designed to support the PM and drive his agenda, while creating space for strategic thinking ⬇️

It would be led by a new Leadership Team, incl. a Chief Operating Officer to run the building and drive culture change.

After recent changes to the No.10 operation, @futuregovforum.bsky.social has published 'Transforming Downing Street' – our new report calling for a standalone Downing Street department set up to drive the PM’s priorities.

It was a pleasure to welcome Jessica Morden and Torsten Bell to Uskmouth power station last week - soon to be the site of a 460MW battery storage facility, redeveloped by Quinbrook Infra Partners with investment from local pension funds across Wales, working together to boost the Welsh economy 🔋

It's miserable as sin outside, so there's nothing else for it: time to start the 2025 #bada-binge of The Sopranos (helpfully accompanied by 'The Soprano Sessions' and lead shrinks @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social + Alan Sepinwall) - will see how quickly I can whack them off...

Two days left, making the most of the Blue Sky (geddit?)

I’m going to make an effort to engage here properly (ie, professionally, politically, policy-wise) when back at metaphorical desks next week 🏖️

Very lucky to have spent last night in a box at the DNC. Speech of the night (just popping her old man) was Michelle O - called Trump out in no uncertain terms + warned against complacency for good measure #DNC
