Rutnam resigns from Home Office

Top HO civil servant Sir Philip Rutnam has resigned and is to sue government for constructive dismissal after a series of clashes with the home secretary, Priti Patel.

 

Rutnam was emotional as he said he would step down after 33 years because he had become the “target of vicious and orchestrated campaign against him,” which he accused Patel of orchestrating.

 

Sir Philip said it was his duty to "protect the health, safety and wellbeing" of Home Office workers but that doing so had "created tension" between him and Ms Patel.

 

"I have received allegations that her conduct has included shouting and swearing, belittling people, making unreasonable and repeated demands - behaviour that created fear and needed some bravery to call out," he said.

 

Patel is undoubtedly a very nasty piece of work and her campaign of bullying shows her weakness and unsuitability as HS, or for that matter, any other senior government role.

 

Rutnam is not not messing about either. Turns out he was offered 'hush money' by the Cabinet office but refused it. Good for him....let's hope he blows the can of worms wide open and exposes Johnsons regime of despots for what it is.

 

Who the hell voted for this rabble of thugs?

Sir Philip says Patel has been economic with the truth.......now where have I heard that before.....

Oh yes that was when she got sacked last time.......for not telling the truth.

Like Johnson she's a liar.

 

Patel told the Guardian: "Boris [Johnson] knew about the visit. The point is that the Foreign Office did know about this, Boris knew about [the trip]. It is not on, it is not on at all...."

 

Foreign Office sources in London - and diplomatic sources in the region - confirmed that Ms Patel had not given them any warning of her visit.

 

One minister said: "Yes, we did not know about the trip. We were unsighted on it." Another source said the British consulate in Jerusalem was "blindsided" and felt "slightly bruised".

 

A third Foreign Office source said: "We didn't know and would have expected to know, given the meetings she had."

You said so much hate when all that was written was fact. The truth. The word Trump has a problem with....and you by the look of it. Face facts.

 

Brexiters have no concept of 'truth' or 'fact' all they know about is 'emotion' everything is judged through the prism of emotion....they cannot relate to facts or evidence....it's way beyond their comprehension they simply cannot relate to informaton on that level.

the country has elected a bunch of bandits to govern us.

 

Priti Patel's secret trip to Israel, how many times did she alter her story. Her boss at the time was Boris Johnson.

 

President Cummings total disregard for democracy and found guilty of contempt of Parliament.

 

Johnson found guilty of lying to the Queen, no apology, instead a display of entitlement.

 

At the very top we have a Prime Minister, Home Secretary and an Attorney General who want to ignore the rule of law and prevent UK citizens from taking the government to court.

 

Not to mention the Russia Report, Jennifer Acuri, and the millions blown on failed projects like the Garden Bridge with no accountability whatsoever.

 

Patel is a walking disaster area, and a total liability even to this abhorrent government, Our security services are turning their back on her and side stepping her as she is a threat to national security. President Cummings loves her though, so she will survive no doubt.

 

The whole country feels devoid of leadership, morality and decency, like a rudderless ship careering towards the rocks and a hurricane fuelled storm.

 

Well I suppose its what people voted for huh?

A proper nasty piece of work who is just pandering to the hang em high brigade.

 

Again Barry this is an excellent illustration of just how dumb, vile and evil Patel is. She is well suited to this Nazi Government...vile, evil, and dumb are the main pre requisites to serve in Brexit Boris the Liar Johnson's cabinet.

Hislop made her look a complete fool....not that difficult but amazingly she still didn't seem to grasp what Ian said. She certainly isn't the brightest bulb in the box and she's totally wrong about the death penalty being a deterrent. US is proof of that.

 

Patels history of lying which imo bordered on treason made her unfit to hold public office but she's a loose cannon among many in this current "government" who appear to be riding rough shod over laws and making their own up to suit themselves as they go along.

 

That Rutnam was offered a cash bribe to go quietly makes this whole business extremely tacky and tawdry more akin to the way Mafia operates so i'm glad he's a man with principles and moral compass which is lacking in the regime of Cummings/Johnson.

 

Proving constructive dismissal isn't the easiest allegation to bring but having over 30 years experience in the job he will have reams of documented evidence safely locked away and more importantly, will be able to make public the manner in which Patel has been operating.

 

Reading comments admiring her bullying, ignoring her ineptness of a HS who doesn't know the difference between counter-terrorism and terrorism, ignoring her known history of lying, is pretty staggering and makes me wonder what sort of people they are.
