💬 “[Simon Case acts] like an overgrown man-child who wants to be a spad [special adviser to ministers]. I’d be staggered if he doesn’t resign,” one source told theipaper
One ex-official said the recent revelations had re-ignited long-standing misgivings towards the Cabinet Secretary, who is seen to have failed to stick up for the civil service and its employees during the fallout from the Partygate inquiries.. “[He acts] like an overgrown man-child who wants to be a spad [special adviser to ministers]. I’d be staggered if he doesn’t resign.”
Whitehall’s head of the civil service is already facing calls to quit from Tory MPs and senior ministers over messages, which showed him describing Mr Johnson as a “nationally distrusted figure” and claimed Mr Sunak went “bonkers” over contact tracing. One former member of the No 10 team said Mr Case had “not handled events of the last year well”, adding that there was a sense of anger over his failure to support officials during the partygate scandal.
