Stand and deliver?

from Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government · host Institute for Government

Phase one is complete. Phase two begins. And it’s all about delivery. But just how hard is it for governments to do the delivery bit of governing? The IfG podcast team give their expert view.   Civil servants are key to making a success of the government’s policies and priorities - perhaps none more so than the high flying fast stream. But who are they - and is this cohort doing a good job? A new IfG report reveals all.   Plus: Reform Party conference preview – we speak to former Reform head of press Gawain Towler.   Catherine Haddon presents.
