More questions for civil service boss who said Carrie Johnson was real PM

8 months ago

Civil service chief Simon Case – who described the government as a “terrible, tragic joke” in private WhatsApp messages at the height of the pandemic – is expected to be questioned over a “treasure trove” of further correspondence when he appears before the official Covid inquiry. Case, who became cabinet secretary in September 2020, having previously served as permanent secretary in No 10, will give evidence to Lady Hallett’s inquiry either on 30 or 31 October, or in the first week of November. Sources say that many more messages involving Case will be produced, raising further questions about the quality of government during the national emergency.
Hallett’s inquiry is examining questions about “core UK decision-making and political governance” to establish how well the Whitehall machine reacted under huge pressure.
