Meet Mike

Who's watching who at the DCMS ?

Mike Crowhurst has turned up as a special adviser. Mike originally used his history degree from Lady Margaret Oxford to teach at a comprehensive in Birmingham. Then he pursued an education MA at Warwick alongside his appointment as Head of Development at the New Schools Network. Oh, yes, the pioneering, disrupting education charity set up by Rachel Wolf, with the support of Dominic Cummings.   Mr Crowhurst combined his time with the NSN with working for Tory MP Sir Mike Penning, who has firm views on the licence fee.

As we reported last month, Rachel Wolf's Public First company has been hired to research alternative forms of funding public service broadcasting by the DCMS.
