Welcome to the World of Edrith
I’m a former civil servant and special adviser with a close ongoing interest in politics and public policy.
On the blog you will find regular posts on politics, public policy, economics and society, with occasional posts on books, games, parenting and miscellany.
I typically post about once a week, sometimes more frequently.
In addition to regular posts, each year I run the largest UK-focused forecasting contest - with over 1000 entrants in 2026.
