Boris Johnson tried to water down Priti Patel bullying report, say Whitehall sources

Speaking to Sky News, former diplomat and national security adviser Lord Ricketts said Sir Alex must have felt his position was"untenable" after being overridden by Mr Johnson.

"It seems to imply that bullying by a senior minister is acceptable and that sends a very bad signal for relations between ministers and the civil service."'I'm sorry that my behaviour upset people' Downing Street has not denied reports that Mr Johnson tried to influence the report's findings, with a spokesman instead saying:"As you would expect, the prime minister spoke to Sir Alex Allan to further his understanding of the report.Labour has called for an urgent investigation and called for the"initial, unedited report" to be published in full.

lisanandy NickTorfaen Does that extend to shouting “SCUM!” at someone who is entitled to speak in our democratic chamber? Thought not. Hypocrisy!

NickTorfaen Can we just get rid of all our pathetic cry baby civil servants not doing their job first followed by our horrendous so called opposition party no more weak governance.

lisanandy NickTorfaen If one intends to galvanise a team toward a common interest, bullying fosters alienation. Exclusion founded upon ethnic or religious grounds does the same. In this context both are completely counterintuitive.

JoStevensLabour NickTorfaen Any shadow minister who cannot be bothered to read and understand why PCR tests do not equate to ‘cases’ of infection or infectiousness should resign. Do you disagree with Dr Mike Yeadon?
