Description
Sir Mark Sedwill’s departure as Cabinet Secretary after weeks of sniping has startled Westminster, with many fingers pointing at Dominic Cummings. No Cabinet Secretary has ever been forced out of office like this before, least of all in the middle of a national crisis. What does Sedwill’s resignation mean for reform of the Civil Service? Is the centre of government facing evolution or revolution? And are we seeing the politicisation of the Civil Service?“It’s extraordinary for civil servants to be talking about reform in the middle of a national crisis.” – Cath HaddonPresented by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon and Alex Thomas.
