E-Business Library > Second blog at DWP
[ Im Simon Dickson.] Higher numbers of comments over on the longer-established Pension Reform blog, which feels much more natural - and all the better for it - since I last looked. DWP is doing some good work in this area, and has done well to start with two areas which are (a) high on the public agenda;

Yours for a Labour Government: This next week I have 3 assessed essays due in, several people to see about work issues, an urgent need to find a job over Christmas, the labour club AGM, social in my ward, bouts of tennis training that I will get crucified if I don't go to, a street stall for World Aids Day when Tony Lloyd will be there and a full weekend fighting the facsists in Burnley. So you get my drift. (via Cosmos)
Guardian Unlimited: Newsblog: Pensions minister James Purnell fired the first shot in his regular weblog. He used the space to attack an article in the Guardian, which quoted a collection of pension experts arguing his pension proposals were flawed. (via Cosmos)
Designing for Civil Society: while over at the Department for Works and Pensions, for example, the Minister for Pensions Reform, James Purnell, is running a less glamorous but very worthy initiative collecting people's views through a blog and forum. (via Cosmos)
Someday I Will Treat You Good: Of course it needn’t be that way. I thought the Pensions Reform blog from James Purnell and the DWP was an excellent example of how to take a look at a subject; open, informative, just the right side of chatty and interested in what people had to say. (via Cosmos)
The Ideal Government Project: The Home Office asserted that that LSE report was "vague in parts", "contradictory" and contained a "number of inaccurate assumptions".[136] On 18 January 2006, the Prime Minister told the House of Commons that "As for the calculations made by the LSE, I think that I am right that, although the report was put out under the LSE's name, it was actually written by the leading campaigner against ID cards on the ground of civil liberties. So I do not think that it is an entirely objective assessment".[137] According to the submission from the LSE this comment was one of many "spurious, misleading and ad hominem attacks on the reports and its authors".[138] In oral evidence, Professor Angela Sasse said that "I have been quite astonished by the way in which the Home Office reacted against the report because the intention was to seek a constructive debate and unfortunately it did not quite work that way".It reinforces the point made below only yesterday: (via Cosmos)
Bloggers4Labour: Meanwhile, the ten, 9-foot high Carraran marble blocks have been delivered, and the sculptor's pacing up and down among the Gauloises stubs, waiting for my signal to immortalise each winning blog/blogger in metamorphic rock. The original plan: to etch the winners' names onto the surface of the Moon in letters large enough to be visible from Earth, using a Diamonds Are Forever-style laser satellite, was deemed a "non-starter" by (via Cosmos)
The Ideal Government Project: . It strikes me that here is a unique opportunity for government to think clearly about the citizen and not get bogged down in designing a new system based on complex financial institutions processes. Simon Dickson pretty much sums up the WIBBI A subject like pensions needs to address me at the ultra-personal level. It needs to be about estimates and calculators, telling me exactly how much Im going to be living on when Im 65 (or whatever), or how much I need to be (via Cosmos)
