There needs to be an external investigation from a previous, respected, senior civil servant to review the sheer number and scale of breaches of the SpAD code and the Civil Service Code.

How many civil servants have been involved in this fiasco of defending Cummings?

Where is Mark Sedwill? Where is Helen MacNamara? Why are they so utterly silent and complicit in all this.

They also need to be investigated as to why they have failed quite so much in all this.

I spent several years of my civil service career working on propriety and ethics issues in both communications and wider.

I interpreted and applied guidance, I WROTE the guidance and I worked with the Cabinet Office team on these issues.

This is why I’m so FURIOUS at all this
