Particularly interesting are Craig Mackey's comments suggesting @HMICFRS don't appreciate the context in which the Met has been operating. I think other Chiefs might take a similar view. x.com/Martin_Buhagia…

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
But no more new work. Hope it's been useful!
Next year, we'll be on hand to discuss our work, join seminars, conferences etc - contact details on our website
Our work wouldn't have been possible without all the help from academics, policymakers, users, ppl in recovery, family members & media.
Today's the last day of UKDPC. Thank you all very much for your interest and help over the last 6 years. It's been invaluable.
Senior Home Office civil servant: I've never had a proper discussion about drug policy bit.ly/Uf6lnC
@TobySeddon sorry you find that Toby. Have you had a chance to see the 3 background papers? Lots of details in there that aren't in overview
Since 2010 election have been 4 drugs ministers & 3 civil servants responsible for drug policy bit.ly/Uf6lnC
UK not serious about improving drug policy - our new report out today: bit.ly/Uf6lnC
Lack of leadership hindering progress on drug problems - Daily Express on our new report: tinyurl.com/bayj32l
Big report out tmr - looks at how UK drug policy is made. Based on interviews with former home secretaries, drugs ministers etc
@JamesCharlton88 thanks, and good luck!
@JamesCharlton88 yep - we were always set up to exist for a fixed period, the end of which is now very, very much in sight
Our report on how the UK makes drug policy will be out on 31st December... and then we really are finishing!
Those figs for UK spend tackling drug problems are higher than we cited in report. All the more reason to make sure is spent well!
