Description

The resignation of Sir Philip Rutnam after a series of clashes with Priti Patel comes at a time when coronavirus is nearing pandemic status, and tackling it will require a cross-government response. In this context, write Craig Prescott and Mark Eccleston-Turner, not only is it an irresponsible time to embark on a turf war with civil servants, but a poor response to one of the greatest tests that this government will face will eat up Johnson’s political capital.
