Civil servants angry at ‘double standards applied to home secretary over bullying report’
Top Home Office civil servants are furious at Boris Johnson’s decision to keep Priti Patel as home secretary despite an internal report that concluded she had bullied officials, their union has said.
As the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, defended Patel on Sunday, saying ministers had sometimes to be “direct” in pushing forward change, the FDA union said members in the Home Office had complained about what they felt were double standards.
