You're about to become Prime Minister. You will inherit a civil service demoralised under your predecessor. You will depend on these people to deliver your policies. Why on earth would you choose to insult them by accusing them of something for which there is zero evidence???

Gavin Barwell And the usual silence from the Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service, Simon Case. Never yet have we seen him stand up for the civil service, only allow it to be damaged by ministers deflecting for political purposes. He needs to go. Useless.
