Cameron must stop blaming the civil service for the failings of his Government

Jon Trickett MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office, commenting on reports today that ministers could be given new powers to dismiss senior civil servants, said:

“David Cameron needs to stop blaming the civil service for the failings of his Government, and take some responsibility.”

“We have a double dip recession made in Downing Street because of the decisions he and George Osborne have made – the idea that we need even more politicised Tory appointees is completely out of touch.”

“David Cameron has already broken his promise to limit the number of special advisers: now it seems he wants even more of them.”
