    If apologies and resignations correlated with unnecessary and scandalous deaths, then the health secretary, the justice secretary, and the DWP secretary should all fall on their swords

    Spurr continues, as he would justify his obedience, to carry out the democratic mandate - that's his duty as a civil servant. He has contributed to the brink of collapse and seemingly experiences no trouble with principles. As the EU ambassador has recently shown: you can carry out orders or you can resign.

      Or you can get a 10% pay rise plus bonus payments for heading up a government department that has contributed nothing positive since its inception. I always fancied a job that rewards failure so generously.

    liz truss is the patsy for failing grayling - he should be 1st one to go. would be good to see if truss, now backed into a corner, begins to air her thoughts about inheriting a poison chalice.

      Truss has already aired her thoughts in a book she co-authored in 2011.

      Back in 2011, in a book she co-authored with four other new MP’s, Ms Truss wrote that “we are not ashamed to say that prisons should be tough, unpleasant and uncomfortable places. That’s the point of them”.

      “we are not ashamed to say that prisons should be tough, unpleasant and uncomfortable places. That’s the point of them"

      And that's exactly why she should resign, because they are and worsening on her watch. What an awful woman!

    If pushed, folk might want to take a look at the self-important & revisionist bollox "Letters from the UK" written by Wheatley at this webpage:
