Look no further that the saga that unfolded this week in the Home Office, which culminated in the resignation this morning of the permanent secretary, Sir Philip Rutman over what he calls a “viscious and orchestrated campaign against him”. Apparently Rutnam plans to sue the government for constructive dismissal and says what has happened is part of wider pattern in government.

I’d not call Rutnam at 54 a ‘grey haired’ vs Patel at 47…It seems a certain reputation precedes the Minister, and it’s not been much countered…

Yay! Infighting in the Brexit Cabinet! Love it. Seriously though, Ms. Patel is a pretty unpleasant character, it seems to me. Whatever her age or color.
