Head Of The Civil Service Under Pressure To Quit Amid ‘Anger’ Over Leaks

[Borg Refinery]

The head of the civil service is facing pressure from ministers and No 10 insiders to bring forward his departure date, amid anger over a series of damaging leaks and briefings.

In a sign of how low relations between ministers and Simon Case have sunk, the cabinet secretary has been privately accused of failing to get a handle on leaks about donations funding clothes for Keir Starmer and his wife, and rows involving his chief of staff Sue Gray.

It is understood that cabinet ministers and senior No 10 officials have become so frustrated with the leaks, including on internal appointments and donations, that they have raised informal complaints in meetings. "You can feel the anger in the cabinet, the spads and the civil service rising," one cabinet source said.
