Read about it here in my "day job" blog over at the Center for Global Development. 

Update: 12 September – see this intelligent post at Stumbling and Mumbling on this topic.

  • Owen,

    OT, and notwithstanding my vitriol, you are still at my Foreign Office. Would you care to contribute?

    I have final say but, provided policies are backed up with coherent argument, I’m willing to consider most things. Foreign Aid seems to be closest to your heart in our discussions, hencce your appointment. Three policies by Monday, please.
