A scratchy conversation + I interrupt too much but I don’t understand how ⁦Rachel Reeves⁩ can achieve her NHS objectives without A LOT more money. The Gordon Brown changes more than doubled health expenditure. Surely she needs tax or borrowing? ⁦The Rest Is Politics⁩

My father landed on the #DDay beaches, was badly wounded but survived. We went together for the 70th anniversary- he didn’t make the 80th. Thank you to Commonwealth War Graves for helping to make this a commemoration of people but also of the democracy and values for which they fought.

Ignorance has an extraordinary often positive role in our creative, artistic and political lives - I’ve been working with some wonderful thinkers to explore the power of ignorance on BBC Radio 4 starting tomorrow at 9.30 + BBC Sounds - please join and tell us what you think 🙏

The view yesterday afternoon…

Want the UK’s £15 billion a year in international aid to do more good? Then benchmark our programs against giving cash directly to find out how well programs REALLY work. A great idea for Rachel Reeves’s new Office for Value for Money. 🧵

I was completely wrong when I was a Minister at DfiD about how powerful it can be to give money directly to people in extreme poverty. More at @_Will_Brown &amp; The Life You Can Save

For example, giving cash beat a USAID nutrition program at delivering nutrition in Rwanda. See how it works at

When you give money directly to people in extreme poverty, you are not just supporting development, you are giving freedom and respecting their dignity GiveDirectly💸

Giving cash is the most effective and efficient way of addressing extreme poverty. It is the opposite of patronising aid and it gives the recipient dignity and choice. (An interview with BBC News (UK))

Direct cash transfers are the most dignified (and very well evidenced) way to accelerate the end of extreme poverty. Full TED Talk at (apologies for the strange facial expressions 😎 but I hope the point works..)

Giving cash is one of the best ways to help earthquake survivors meet their own needs #Morocco : Sky News

Such a privilege to speak in Melbourne and Sydney Opera House last night - tickets now available for ✴️Sat 2 Nov Brisbane QPAC Concert Hall ✴️Sun 3 Nov Canberra Llewellyn Hall ✴️Mon 4 Nov Perth Concert Hall Learning so much from Australia….🙏

My book #PoliticsOnTheEdge - on the challenges, absurdities and realities of public life today - is coming out in paperback - would love to hear what you think 🤔
