I know this is a very on brand thing to say, but I can't help but feel all the most interesting questions in policy/politics are now meta-questions about why the system/discourse itself is broken and what it would look like to fix it. (1/n)
It is hard to conjure up optimism right now, but I do think we'll find a new place as next generation shapes politics and our institutions. Feels like the one in power is running out of energy and ideas in face of the challenges.

Co-Directors @EmilyJonesBSG & @gmssngr@RichardGiven75 Ooh will read thanks:) This reminds me of McKenzie Wark's point that when we start attaching lots of prefixes to capitalism (late capitalism, addiction capitalism, etc) we know we're in trouble - it shows that it is morphing beyond our ability to describe/understand
My flatmate texted me: 'How's politics?' 🤯I thought she might not appreciate an essay response, so I just replied: 'It still exists...just about'.
So @resfoundation @Pro_Britain and others “hire a lot of disillusioned civil servants” who come up with technocratic solutions according to Alex Dawson of @Global_Counsel, writing in @thetimes. Pot and kettle, anyone ?!
“What if, instead of telling a story about how our species fell from some idyllic state of equality, we ask how we came to be trapped in such tight conceptual shackles that we can no longer even imagine the possibility of reinventing ourselves?” (1/2)

People's biggest fear isn't public speaking or death. It's that their thoughts might be true. Why You Are Not Your Thoughts:
Oh look, FTAs are still a good thing. Can someone tell Washington? 🙏
🇪🇺🤝 🇳🇿WE’VE SIGNED OUR TRADE DEAL WITH NEW ZEALAND! This landmark agreement will unlock new opportunities for EU businesses & our farmers. It’s also the most sustainable free trade agreement ever. Why this deal matters 👉 europa.eu/!pHr9g9
Honoured to be invited to discuss the innovative 🇬🇧 & 🇦🇺 #FTA at the impressive Australia House (#GringottsBank). Wonderful new pathway announced by Stephen Smith @AusHCUK. Huge opportunities for #trade between our nations @KemiBadenoch @biztradegovuk @Austrade @IOExport
Some good questions here - can non-traditional trade deals impact supply and value chains if they don't offer any additional market access incentives (e.g. IRA, critical minerals deals)? Basically, what and why is IPEF?
My Trade Secrets today. The US's attempt to set up a grand Asia-Pacific trade agreement with almost no content is a waste of time and only underlines its weaknesses as a geoeconomic power. enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/fa1312a…
People have the right to criticise or support the Australia and NZ trade deals. What is however depressing is how many of the comments either way seem to be motivated by relitigating Brexit rather than looking at the merits of the agreements.
Rees-Mogg casually denigrating the civil service - and other public sector workers - this morning for lack of application. Typically spineless attack on those without the right of reply, but who represent the very best of dedicated public service and to whom so much is owed.
PS I hate it when people write "the proof is in the pudding" instead. The phrase is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", not that you can find a smoking gun in a bowl of trifle
I know this is rapidly becoming my only tweet but while there are many things wrong with the civil service, laziness is not one of them.
Please stop making me defend Whitehall now. I am a radical reformer, but my target is the cruddy system not the individuals who suffer within it.
BUT at the end of this week I hope to have polished off the report and will be back in engagement mode. So watch this space and I will be in touch soon! Thanks for your patience. 🙏 3/3
