Proof positive that Whitehall is not Neutral. We now need a civil service that will deliver the will of the electorate. Abolish the first division of Mandarins and replace by political appointees.

If you want to be in charge, put yourself forward for election. Otherwise a bit more humility and respect for democracy would be in order.
