• United Kingdom: "Permanent" Secretary of the Interior for the harassment of Boris Johnson to officials
  • Brexit: Public health and chlorinated chicken, Boris Johnson's red lines to negotiate a deal with Donald Trump

The Boris Johnson Government has decided to open an internal investigation into the alleged "hostile environment" created by Interior Secretary Priti Patel, which forced the resignation of its permanent secretary Philip Rutnam last weekend. The senior official has expressed his intention to sue the government and has accused Patel of launching an "orchestrated campaign" against him in recent weeks. Rutnam says that the cries, insults, swear words and unreasonable demands of Patel have created a climate of terror among the 35,000 Interior Department officials.

"This government is led by thugs," denounced Labor opposition spokesman Jeremy Corbyn , who blamed Johnson himself for the open war between ministers and senior officials, instigated primarily by his strategist Dominic Cummings . Corbyn criticized the repeated absences of the prime minister in Parliament and the growing role of his adviser for everything, also responsible for the resignation of Sajid Javid as secretary of the Treasury two weeks ago.

Michael Gove , who already acts as de facto deputy prime minister, said Boris Johnson has given his support and has "total confidence" in Priti Patel (dismissed at the time by Theresa May as secretary of International Cooperation for hiding her contacts with the Israeli Government ). Gove reported that the Cabinet Ministry has opened an investigation in any case to determine if the Secretary of the Interior has been able to violate the "ministerial code of ethics" in its relationship with officials.
