Apart from the people that the government prevented the report authors speaking to that is...
Perhaps the government would like to explain why Sir Alex Allen was prevented from speaking to Sir Phillip Rutman, (the very Civil Servant who resigned after clashing with with Patel) as part of his "wide ranging, full and balanced" inquiry.
You think he had at least a case and evidence to put forward. It's not exactly normal behaviour in an investigation to prevent access to witnesses who may have important information....unless of course tour aim is to suppress that information. What have they got to lose/hide?
And telling too that the reports author resigned after Bojos pathetic hand-wringing endorsement of Patel.
And then he has added insult to injury Bojo writes to the Civil Service to tell them "bullying will not be tolerated"
“I am clear that there is a particular duty on ministers and permanent secretaries to create jointly across government a culture which is professional, respectful, focused and ambitious for change and in which there is no place for bullying.”
What you can't see is in tiny print at the bottom it says..."from now on obvs".
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how Rutnam's legal case against Patel for wrongful dismissal pans out.....Now I wonder why he would be taking that if it was a straightforward resignation.
Bad smells follow Pritti Patel for a reason.
