Westminster Hour: Civil service shake-up: Rewiring the government machine or blowing a fuse?

<description>Over the past 18 months, we have looked at how young people feel about their power to change what government thinks of them and their power or desire to be ‘one of them’ - diversity in government is something we have found is important for legitimacy. 

The UK has a particularly tricky time letting young people into mainstream debates and young people have a hard time communicating back with power they know little about, not even how it truly impacts their own lives and communities. This is a tragedy and it is having profound consequences.

We recently spoke to an inspiring group of young women about their relationship with government.

Government without borders #OneTeamGovGlobal: Part 1

<description>Tony Blair served as Prime Minister in the UK from 1997 - 2007, the only Labour leader in the party’s 100-year history to win three consecutive elections. Like many of his predecessors, Blair’s time as Prime Minister was not without its challenges. Under his leadership, 'New Labour’ aimed to implement reforms to reduce poverty, health waiting times and unemployment, while focusing on improving living standards. However, a key challenge was how government itself was run. His time in government is equally recognised for his bold reforms to the way the centre of government worked with departments to transform and manage public services several of which (e.g. Delivery Units) have been replicated around the world.

In our latest podcast, Adrian Brown sits down with Tony Blair, now Executive Chairman of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, to discuss the challenges and reflections of his time as Prime Minister.
 
They also discuss 'The Future of Government' a topic we're researching at CPI and we hear Tony Blair’s thoughts on how government needs to adapt to reflect societies changing needs.
