Breaking - Philip Rutnam, Home Office boss, quits saying he has been target of viscious and orchestrated campaign against himIn a statement given to BBC News, Sir Philip said:"In the last 10 days, I have been the target of a vicious and orchestrated briefing campaign."
He said allegations he had briefed the media against the home secretary was one of many"completely false" claims against him.He added:"I regret I do not believe her. She has not made the efforts I would expect to dissociate herself from the comments." Sir Philip said he had attempted a"reconciliation" with Ms Patel but that she had"made no effort to engage with me to discuss this".
The FDA union for senior public servants said Sir Philip's resignation was a consequence of people making anonymous claims about civil servants"who are unable to publicly defend themselves". FDA general secretary Dave Penman said the"cowardly practice" was"ruining lives and careers" as well as diverting resources.
Leftie leaver found out about his incompetence?
I'd let her shout and swear and slap me. We would just need to work out a safe word first!🤣
Problem being they all want the large salaries, but don’t like it when they are being challenged 🤷🏼♀️need to do a little more of this!🤬
Maybe, just maybe, that he's been there for too long that he got too comfortable and think he was the one in charge, that he would not agree to change because if he did, that would mean accepting he was not doing it right.
'campaign against him' meaning getting him to serve the country rather than himself.
She sorted all them idiots out and he throwing toys out of pram. If they had have done jobs right then she would have had nothing to shout about. patel4witham
It's beginning to look like DC. Not a good look either. Deep State anxieties will only promote the short policy expediencies which hobbled Cameron and created the Brexit mess in the first place.
If he cant do his job without his Political Bias interfering in Government Policy, he should quit. Taking the fight to the Civil Service, the BBC and the EU Boris is at least beginning to deliver the fundamental reform he promised.
Let's hope Fran Unsworth and Richard Burgess take his example.
...my twitter feed is so weird...gone really right wing on this one...loads of trump fans strangely...
Nothing worse than a paranoid CivilServant PhilipRutnam patel4witham UKHomeSecretary PritiPatel
philmcnulty Priti Patel in any other occupation would have been sacked for gross incompetence and workplace bullying. Since when do we not hold politicians to the same standard we do literally everyone else!!?
REMOVE PATEL FROM THE HOME OFFICE. patel4witham is a vile, demonic witch. The fires of hell await her. Theres a vile spirit of hate running through Patel, JUST LIKE T.MAY & A.RUDD I pray a curse to fall upon this government, & call a curse of destruction over Patel especially.
You can't sue for constructive dismissal, if you resign. I thought that might be been evident from the way its worded.
Rutnam explains the Blairite approach of both May & Rudd as Home Secretaries.
What goes around, comes around!
She’s a disaster, an accident waiting to happen!
philmcnulty Surprise surprise he doesnt believe a proven liar
She is a brilliant, collegiate team player.”
damm i give the Goverment till June before it crashes into the ground
How will he prove he was being harried? If he was dragging his feet because he objects to Govt policy, he is unfit for his post. Its the job of select conmittees and Opposition to hold Govt to account - not the prerogative of unelevted Civil Service. We voted for change.
Look at all the SJWs siding with the old white man against the woman of colour.🤣
Good. We need to remove remainer ideologues from powerful positions and out in place people who’ll actually work for the national interest outside the EU. The BBC will be next.
The tail can’t wag the dog.
How much 'power' did Rutnam hold? If he was refusing to implement Govt policy, he should have been sacked.
Now he can sit in the HOL alsleep all day
Great
Won’t be missed.😬😁🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Was it fear of a strong women or culture of sexism or racism at the Home office
For those that would like to see the background, then interview between Mike Graham and Douglas Carswell may shed some light.
He won't be missed.
He's not the 'boss' - that's the Home Secretary.
Just carry on draining that swamp
good
Good, its about that shit house had a clear out. This is what change looks like 👍
The same home office that has “lost” files relating to government paedophiles, which now wants to hide the grooming gang report and god know what else. It needs a shake up, she’s doing a good job
Allegedly, from an unknown source close to the FO, Sir Phillip was given the opportunity to resign before being sacked and losing his pension.
Allegedly.
well if company managers dont like some one working for them they find a way to get rid of them in some way and thats a fact . Whats the difference - Probably a freemason
He was bullied by being asked to do his job.
Priti....bullying? More like the civil service doing the bullying.....that’s what they are good at, which includes fucking around politicians who get too close to the truth. About time the civil serpents got their comeuppance!
She shouted at him.....🥴
bbclaurak on TV saying he was one of the Sir Humphrys. tbh if he is even a little bit like that character then I’m happy he is gone. Also seeing him on TV right now sulkily washing his dirty laundry I’m still of that view.
Priti bad situation
Another fanny who can't handle the fact that this government intends to govern.
Perm Sec sues government for constructive dismissal - truly unprecedented.
If you can’t stand the heat then get out of the kitchen... This country needs those who perform and not just passengers
Apparently Priti told him to work harder
Priti, the dirty one , unaccountable politician wins the battle against the civil servant. Bullying attitude
Draining the swamp...
the race to the bottom is accelerating at a pace no one expected
Pritti really not so, is she?
Drain the swamp! Another deep-state remainiac gone!
patel4witham wouldn't know if she were treating people badly or not. She doesn't appear to have a lot of empathy or EQ, beyond far right groups.
Pritti on the phone to MOSSAD as we speak, calling in old favours.
Things aren't looking too 'Priti'.
