A The new government, anxious about economic policy and slow about its pay, is challenging business leaders to whip Whitehall into shape. That was it Rachel Provost, minister of order a few days ago to submit spending plans to corporate executives. Among those “wielding an iron fist against waste” will be former bankers from Lloyds and Barclays. But there was also David Cameron in the summer of 2010, in Sir . bringing Philip Green as his efficiency guru.
From day one, Philip raised his eyebrows. Just weeks before the general election, the “high street king” had decided that the Tories would be the next government; now he too is a part. In addition, the right billionaire had to listen to the public expenses with so many questions about them tax matters? Actually, the review presented by the dealer, all receipts two months and 33 pagesHe will not occupy much space in his biographers, nor will he rank among Mr. Cameron. The whole thing was a stupid, cheap plunderer, a fatal choice of the front, who, in the fall of BHS, gave Mr. Philip’s office, by excavating his pension scheme; vote by MPs take off his cavalry.
In contrast to successful business people, officials too often approach with one hand, pre-emptively shaking their arm. To think Rishi Sunak “interviewed” Elon Musk and Downing Street’s no 10 in an 10. Remember Gordon Brown praising the bankers in the wake of the credit crisis finding “most modern financial instruments“Remember Tony Blair, who praised Philip Green as a knight.”who thought the dream and he dreamed a dream in reality”. Mr Philip said in response that he had Mr Blair on speed dial. Such suspicions do not help any relationship and undermine both politics and the public sector. “The government is ours”as Teddy Roosevelt said: Our people’s representatives derive their legitimacy from being publicly elected and publicly imputed, which is a different order of authority than someone serving their fellow citizens.
All public administrations must spend money as efficiently and effectively as possible. Likewise, the chancellor has the right to conduct his affairs in the way, to pay his taxes and fees, and to conduct them dutifully. But the suggestion of that Whitehall cabinet minister Pat McFadden should’ “Starting more like” seems to be a mistake. Hospitals and schools are not assumed, as such Facebook“to fast and break things”: millions of people wanted to serve, high standards faithfully. The sarcasm of the minister’s comments is that it is private that needs greater contention to prevent it prices, say, of food and energy; and profit in children’s social care.
Green’s review has served briefly elsewhere for decades of Conservative spending cuts. The Tories had to refrain from doing more public services for less, as businessmen said. This led many public services to break even – and showed how different private businesses are. when one the brewer cannot make it thick enoughcustomers can drink something else, but when they get to the prisons, the criminals are released early. When the policy fails, the entire community risks losing basic services and a popular voice. When schools can’t hire enough teachers, the British are suffering. Our public services can never be run as businesses at all, because the roles they perform are much more universal and profound.
