  • Insideout in Defence of Special Advisers: Lessons from Personal Experience
    In Defence of Special Advisers: Lessons from Personal Experience Nick Hillman INSIDE InsideOUT A series of personal perspectives on government eectiveness 9 This essay is dedicated to my children, Ben and Amity, who were born while I was a special adviser. I promise to repay the bedtime stories I missed. 2 InsideOUT InsideOUT In Defence of Special Advisers: Lessons from Personal Experience Nick Hillman InsideOUT 3 TRANSFORMATION IN THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE 2010 interim evaluation report Foreword Nick Hillman’s InsideOUT provides the most valuable recent insight into the work of that most misunderstood Whitehall species – the special adviser. The value lies, first, in being up-to-date when much of the discussion of special advisers goes back to the scandals and battles of the Blair/Brown years; and, second, in being written from the perspective of a department rather than the centre. That is crucial in understanding how advisers operate, particularly in the age of coalition, and how they contribute to the work of their ministers, as opposed to the Prime Minister. You would expect that someone who worked for David Willetts to operate in a less highly charged world than in some of the familiar stab-and-tell accounts of ex-advisers. That is an advantage and allows Hillman to concentrate on the key issues, not just, persuasively, in defence of spads but also in suggesting how the system can be improved. Without repeating all his arguments, I would like to discuss one issue which he highlights – the lack of proper preparation and training. Working in Parliament as chief of staff to a member of the Shadow Cabinet, as Hillman did, can, as he says, feel more like a micro-business than part of a great ship of state.

  • Revolving Doors Special by Richard Brooks and Solomon Hughes
    REVOLVING00 DOORS SPECIAL REPORT 1 PUBLIC SERVANTS, PRIVATE PAYDAYS How ministers and mandarins make life after government pay – a Revolving Doors Special by Richard Brooks and Solomon Hughes Post-Brexit, it’s all change at the top. A bunch of ministers are out of a job and advisers and top officials might find it’s time to move on, too. But fret not. A well-trodden path from the public to private sector ensures ministers and mandarins looking to profit from their time in government are all but guaranteed a job in business, usually in an area over which they have exerted great influence. Today’s public servants have joined an undeclared public-private partnership with their future employers if, that is, they serve their future paymasters well. This is the story of Britain’s well-oiled Revolving Door, and the price we all pay for it… ETIREMENT jobs for those at the top of Rpublic life aren’t all new. Whitehall’s Sir Humphreys have long walked into Great British boardrooms soon after picking up their retirement carriage clocks.

    20 May 2009 TOM WATSON MP Associated Newspapers Limited, the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and the Daily Mail, apologised today to Tom Watson MP in a Statement in Open Court Solicitors read before Mr Justice Eady.

The emails were reported to have made serious and Web site www.carter-ruck.com false allegations about the private lives of a number of Conservative Party MPs in the course of discussing proposals for a new website to be known as “Red Rag”. As the Court heard today, Associated Newspapers Limited now accepts that these allegations are entirely untrue. In fact, Mr Watson was not copied into any of the emails exchanged between Mr McBride and Mr Draper. As Mr Watson has already publicly made clear, he had no involvement in or knowledge of the “Red PRESS RELEASE Rag” website and he did not condone the content of the emails and, indeed, regarded them as completely inappropriate. Associated Newspapers Limited has unreservedly withdrawn the allegations, apologised to Mr Watson for the distress the article caused him and his family and has joined in the reading of the Statement in Open Court today.

  • Government Special Advisers As Media Players: to What Extent Do
    Work in progress. Not to be circulated without author’s permission. Government special advisers as media players: to what extent do they contribute to the ideal of good government and the informed citizen? Ruth Garland, PhD Researcher, London School of Economics Abstract The number of special advisers doubled within two years of the 1997 election, and has continued to rise, but despite their obvious utility, they are probably the least understood and most demonised of political actors and have been subjected to repeated criticism in numerous government and parliamentary reviews ((Fourth Report: Special advisers - boon or bane?, 2000; Hillman, 2014; Public Administration Select Committee, 2012; Hillman, 2014; Wright, 2002; Yong & Hazell, 2014). In this paper I use data from 26 in-depth interviews with former government press officers, journalists and special advisers, together with contemporary and archival documentary analysis, to examine how the rise of the special adviser, especially in media-related roles, has impacted on the public purposes of government communications. The Whitehall model traditionally enshrines the ideal of a ‘neutral serving elite’ (Tashir, 2015: 280) as guardians of good government and yet, as Du Gay has stated, one interpretation of “enhanced democratic rule” holds that “bureaucracies should be more responsive to the wishes of their political masters and to the people they serve” (Du Gay, 2005:51). The rise of the special adviser has been described as one obvious manifestation of responsiveness (Greer, 2008) p132), but to whom and in whose interests? Introduction “Those special advisers whose role focuses on communications, facilitating contacts with the media and the wider political sphere, are of less obvious benefit to anyone other than the ministers who appoint them and the political parties they represent.” (Committee on Standards in Public Life, 2012).

  • PDF (Illustrative Case Studies)
    Case studies illustrating the usefulness of the quality monitoring framework set out in chapter one of The Future of Quality News Journalism: a cross-continental analysis The material that is produced below is still under development and may be modified when the final draft is produced shortly. a) Introduction This set of case studies has two main purposes. First, to provide examples of how the quality monitoring framework outlined in chapter one might be applied to online news stories of quality mainstream news providers. Second, to provide some representative sample evidence of the quality of the hard news provision of some of the best of the mainstream news providers. This is intended to back up the case for their continuing importance that is made within the bonus chapter (available only online at: HTTP://CLOK.UCLAN.AC.UK/7824) There are several things that it is important to emphasise. First, as chapter one makes clear, the preferred means of quality assessment would be via the kind of expert/professional panels outlined and suggested there. This should enhance the rigour of the evaluative process in so far as several pairs of expert eyes are likely to pick up inconsistencies in the application of that process in a way that would not be possible for one. Given that such panels do not yet exist to apply it and that the purpose here is mainly illustrative, the evaluations have been made by the author alone. That means that they should be treated with greater caution than had they been panel produced, but providing that is remembered it does not detract from their illustrative value.
