Anthony Browne: Post-Brexit Britain. Now we’ve taken back control, here’s what we can do with our new powers.

Simone Finn: Civil Service reform. Gove and Case will drive forward the legacy of Heywood and Maude – who’s back to help out

The best ideas for reform won’t come from government alone. That’s why I’ve joined the Commission for Smart Government which was launched last month.

Unconscious bias training. What’s the point of having a huge majority if Tories can’t say no to it?
