Inside Briefing with the Institute for Government Gray Goes Gracefully?
Mar 3, 2023

With Sue Gray making headlines again, the IfG podcast team are joined by former Conservative MP Sir David Lidington to make sense of a big Whitehall and Westminster career move and ask what it might mean for Labour and the civil service.
Plus:
- What do Matt Hancock's WhatsApp messages tell us about how government works – and how it didn't during the pandemic?
- How did Rishi Sunak come up with a Brexit deal that seems to please everyone – except maybe Boris Johnson and the DUP – and is the Windsor Framework actually any good?
- And why doesn't the centre of government seem to work very well? The IfG is launching a new Commission to examine the problem – and come up with solutions.
Presented by Hannah White.
With Alex Thomas, Jill Rutter and Tim Durrant
Produced by Candice McKenzie
