Last Friday was Tom Bentley's last day in the office at Demos. After seven years as Director (and three as my boss), he's off to Melbourne, Australia to take up a job as adviser to the Premier there.

By the looks of this article in the Sunday Times, I don't think he's afraid to burn a few bridges with the Blair camp. Have to say I pretty much agree with the analysis: a bit done, a lot of opportunities missed and not much scope for doing anything else until the next generation come along.

I'll miss Tom a lot, he's taught me a vast amount, but apparently they have email in Australia too ;)
