I want a practical plan on net zero as much as the next person - but I actually think the govt facing legal challenge on relying too much on “unproven technological fixes” for a plan that runs into the mid 2030s is unhelpful & speaks to a structural problem. Some thoughts 🧵

I was going to send a tweet about how the main thing we should worry about on housing is letting our major cities expand. But then I remembered…the data doesn’t really back this up* outside London. *If you’re only looking through a housing affordability lens

If it cannot take into account some uncertainty and risk of future technological development, in an age where tech innovation is accelerating, we are not going to be able to deliver transformational change
Net zero needs to align with social and economic concerns, as well as consumer choice, clean tech innovation offers a route to achieve this. But carbon accounting for future tech is harder, and we must allow for this uncertainty.

Recent work from @nesta_uk @reformthinktank @IPPR on missions is rigorous and respectable. Glad that serious people focus on substance rather than superfluous narratives. There’s a lot of merit to the idea of missions, and it mustn’t get bastardised for individual gains.
That’s right
Launch day! 🚀 Really excited to launch our latest report from @reformthinktank. ‘Making the grade’ is a deep dive into talent and performance management in the Whitehall civil service - picked up on p.2 of The Times this morning! Quick summary🧵
@kelina1080 As someone who worked on both - animation on the actual cats aren’t that different- but what helps is Bagheera is responding to an actual human who is emoting a lot more so sells his emotion more than two lions talking to each other - and that why lion king didn’t work as well
One of those "Books I've read this year" threads both as a record and to keep me reading.
A good thread and a reminder of what an engaged Government can deliver.. the most interesting element is what can we learn and do differently.
Thrilled to be published in @thefabians' 140th anniversary Fabian Review, exploring what Labour's science policy can learn from the Blair and Brown years 🌹🔬 A few highlights...

@duncanrobinson It vanished the moment we changed the order of the options in the census. John Denham inconsolable.
Just waiting for that surge in Englishness. Any second now. It’s coming. Just you wait. On its way. Bubbling away
Lord Ashcroft has some flag polling England which flag "best represents" Union flag: 44% (and 73% inc both equally) St George's flag: 10% (and 39% inc both equally)
my brother in Christ, it is your best film.
Robert Eggers says he can't stand watching ‘The Witch’ now "It's not that it's bad, and the performances are great, but I was not skilled enough as a filmmaker to get what was in my brain on to the screen."
Just the worst possible policy advice, real vintage IMF stuff.

They kept their oaths, defended the historic settlement, and died for their loyalty. All the more jarring to hear any modern British conservatives disregard their sacrifice in favour of pandering to a facile US narrative of history.
