    Lord Heywood was a friend and advocate to all @UKCivilService colleagues and was a particular champion of @UKgovcomms and professional government communication, using data, nudge and digital effectively. Fitting that flags over No10 and @cabinetofficeuk fly at half mast today.

    Many thanks to my colleagues in @UKgovcomms @NHSuk @LGAcomms & other public services providing information which can help save lives and protect livelihoods. Very difficult time for people across the UK. Everyone in government is aware of the challenge as @BorisJohnson made clear

    Very quiet in Whitehall this morning but the ⁦@Gurkha_Brigade⁩ still stands sentry in statue and shadow by the Old War Office and Horse Guards.
