Anthony Browne, the director of Policy Exchange, is going to work for Boris Johnson as the Mayor’s policy director. This means that the job of running the most influential think tank on the centre-right is now up for grabs.
Given Policy Exchange’s influence on the Tory leadership—James O’Shaughnessy went from being head of research at Policy Exchange to being head of policy for the Tories, and many of the party’s best ideas have their origins in a Policy Exchange pamphlet—there will be intense interest in the Westminster Village in who gets the job.
