Would you like to #hire me? I'm looking for an employer in #Berlin

I do #research, #training, #comms, and #policy. I know about how #technology, #society, and #politics interact

I’m looking for work that does social good – beyond that I’m #opentowork in all sorts of roles🧵👇
I’ve helped create #datapolicy, #counterdisinformation, and #digitalskills functions in the UK #civilservice (including No10 Downing Street & DCMS) - e.g.

Let’s get this clear.

#RwandaMigrationPlan has been labelled a breach of international law by the #UnitedNations

It also wasn’t costed. So, rightly, because of illegality & failure to cost - the #CivilService refused to implement. This resulted in @pritipatel issuing ….
…. a ‘ministerial direction’. Which means she personally takes responsibility for anything going wrong.

Looking forward to what should be an insightful conversation about how the government can make the #LevellingUp agenda work in practise #IfGLevellingUp
.@bronwenmaddox opens by asking Haldane if the #LevellingUpWhitePaper provides a description as to what #LevellingUp is. Haldane says the 12 Missions were designed to "provide clarity" around what successful levelling up would look like #IfGLevellingUp
Haldane stresses that "Missions" are not government targets, but are "loftier goals" that have actions that governments, private sector, VCSE, etc can all contribute towards to #IfGLevellingUp

THREAD: The Constitution of Pakistan envisages a three tiered federation; this was asserted by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in its judgement in the local government restoration case. 1/5
The discussions on centralizing tendencies of political governments tend to ignore our lopsided administrative structure. We can’t have a healthy federation without administrative autonomy in every tier of government. 2/5
Currently, the federal service dominates all three tiers of government and their power and influence increases in lower tiers (provincial and municipal). 3/5

@billy_blog lovely to meet you, @wbmosler and Martin yesterday.

I hope your journeys went well?

You may be amused at the rankings for #CivilService for the UK, The US and, say, #Germany...
