A top Home Office official quit and plans to sue Boris Johnson's government
The top civil servant at the UK's Home Office resigned on Saturday, threatening to send Boris Johnson's government into disarray.In an explosive statement, Rutnam said he had received allegations of bullying about Patel and said he plans to sue the government for constructive dismissal.
Rutnam, who has worked the government for 33 years, took the unusual step of making a statement outside his home alleging Patel was behind the campaign to oust him. "The Home Secretary categorically denied any involvement in this campaign to the Cabinet Office. I regret, I do not believe her," he added
Rutnam said that this gave him "very strong claims" for constructive dismissal, which he would be pursuing in the courts. He added while his experience was "extreme", it was part of a "wider pattern" in government.
