How is Burnham going to get the civil service to do what they are told without civil servants going to the BBC to say they are being bullied? They were obedient under Blair, Brown and Cameron, but not since then. Too many Gen Z who "don't believe in hierarchies" ?
Every day in US news is the same:
Ten horrifying and dumb things happened today.
Only five of them would have horrified the framers because they were all racist.
