Ministers must force mandarins to manage

A couple of news items this week caught my eye.

One was that we seem to have an excellent civil service; only 1% of those evaluated by their managers were deemed to be performing at the lowest level: Unsatisfactory.

The second was the leaked (gosh, what a surprise that is now) draft report of the troika as they head out the door; a lot done, more to do as Digout Bertie told us.
