A permanent and impartial civil service is key to this. Access talks, no changes of key personnel and a requirement under the Civil Service Code that civil servants have to be able to serve not only the government of the day, but also any future government.
One of the other most memorable moments from @BylineFest so far - and we’re only half way through - is @jayrosen_nyu’s observation on Election night on Thursday that he couldn’t imagine such a transition of power going so smoothly in the US

A good time for me to repost this from Monte Grappa! #Giro
The Civil Service has now entered the pre-election period. This will last until the General Election concludes. During this time there will be restrictions on communications activity and Government social media accounts will be quieter than usual.

Anyone who thinks Tadej Pogačar will have an easy job tomorrow... I would like to warn you about two things here. 1. He has never ridden a stage with so many vertical meters in his career. (Tomorrow's stage will be a 5600+ d+ stage) #GirodItalia

If you're outraged by the number of people killed by cyclists, then be equally outraged by the threat of cows or lightning. 👇
