Behind all the hysterical drivel, here's a glimpse of what's really happened,
"Rather than using gentle persuasion, the Home Secretary has at times (by her own admission) allowed her impatience to show, as she tries to put in place the policies on which this Government was elected. A Cabinet Office investigation into Ms Patel’s conduct has concluded that she breached the ministerial code by failing to treat her civil servants with “consideration and respect” – but also that she had legitimate reasons for not feeling supported by a service that lacked flexibility in responding to her requests."
In other words she kicked some shiny suited backsides, because they weren't doing the job they were paid to do. Good for her. :D
"In backing the Home Secretary, Boris Johnson has made it clear that he will support ministers when they run up against the Civil Service. It’s fair to say that senior figures on Whitehall are hardly overjoyed. Yesterday, the Prime Minister’s ethics advisor, Sir Alex Allan, resigned over the matter. He followed Sir Philip Rutnam, former permanent secretary at the Home Office, who when he "resigned" last February issued a public denunciation of Ms Patel’s conduct, claiming that she was wont to shout at officials and make “unreasonable demands” of them. It’s not hard to infer that Ms Patel’s determination to, for example, deport foreign criminals or halt the flow of illegal migrants, clashed with the cautious pragmatism of her civil servants. Her efforts to get a grip on her department clearly ruffled some establishment feathers and she wouldn’t be the first minister to have been the target of maneouverings by disgruntled officials."
Of course they're not overjoyed, the Sir Humphrey's don't like it when they come across a Minister who won't play their game. Boris has put them back in their box. Good for him. A trivial little storm in a tiny teacup, how anyone can work themselves into a lather over this sort of tripe is way beyond me. XD
