It is 5 year today since we lost Jeremy Heywood, the late Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service. He is still much missed but we are proud to continue to champion his passions for innovation in public policy and diversity in Whitehall.
Five years today since Jeremy Heywood died, five years where his insight, grip and empathy have been much missed. Am reminded on the anniversary how much JJH lives on with so many people @HeywoodFndation
Five years ago today my husband Jeremy Heywood passed away. We still miss him hugely as a family and I know his colleagues in the Civil Service do too. I hope he would be pleased by the work @HeywoodFndation is doing to continue his passion for public sector innovation.

Conrad Smewing of @hmtreasury kicking off the day by reiterating the importance of empiricism (and -- critically -- short feedback loops) in policy making and public spending. @DavidHalpernCEO @B_I_Tweets, you'd be enthusiastically nodding along!
Hurray! The @FTC takes on #sludge. There is no reason why you can subscribe with one click but have to jump through hoops to unsubscribe. This is just pro-transparency, not overreach. @CassSunstein

I'm working on next week's @behavioralgroov podcast episode with @mhallsworth and I'm tickled that the website for @B_I_Tweets has approached the debate of behavioral vs behavioural with equal amounts of diplomacy and indecision.
Poor statistics alert from @guardiannews - survey finds 22% of teens watch porn; of that group 10% feel addicted. That does not equal “10% teens addicted to porn”! Good to see online toned down but editors should be able to catch this before print.
Very sorry to hear about death of Bernard Ingham. I took over from him as PM’s spokesman when John Major replaced Margaret Thatcher. He was a highly professional journalist and incredibly generous in the transition to someone much less qualified than him.
It’s a good time to pay tribute to my predecessors in the role: to @parkali & Jen Rubin for their inspiring leadership, and, looking back, to the first head of the SSRC, Michael Young, whose vision of creative, engaged social science remains an inspiration today.
An interesting conceptual map from @DavidHalpernCEO and McLean’s conclusion in the pre-2010 election book ‘Options for a New Britain’… Many issues remain the same today… but what exactly would this map look like now? Housing + NHS on in place of violent crime?
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, thoughts, and solidarity. My Mum was a lifelong Labour activist, and I wrote this @TheScotsman piece to celebrate her activism which is the lifeblood of democracy: scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
My Mum died today. A socialist whose ideals will ever die. The work goes on!
What role is behavioral science playing in government? There is plenty of misinformation out there (some involving a supposed "i-frame" and "s-frame"; some growing out of misleading meta-analyses). @R_Thaler @DavidHalpernCEO @B_I_Tweets @chiaravara papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
