In the United Kingdom, ministers typically do not have the direct power to hire and fire civil servants. The responsibility for managing civil service personnel falls under the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission and the Civil Service Department. I'd be interested to know if Rory Stewart thinks that ministers should have this power.
I think civil servants should be disciplined if they don't' do their job and do as they are told by the people we actually elect to make the decisions. I didn't elect the civil servant to make decisions. There needs to be serious reform with the civil servants.
Rory’s diagnosis is pretty severe. I can’t get my head round the fact that he’s given up on politics. I don’t know why he didn’t challenge again for London mayor. Is he really satisfied with being Alistair Campbell soundboard and teaching the odd class at Yale?

I'd vote Rory Stewart in as Prime Minister in a heart-beat.
Me too. Too thoughtful so will never catch on!
We need Rory.
Algorithm bump. I love Rory.
He should have become the Tory leader: level-headed, moderate and sensible!
Rory for Prime Minister.

divine unity before government / democracy
The answer is easy: power corrupts. Rulers are evil. Be free instead of being the slave of rulers.
Power dynamics exist everywhere, in every relationship
This is a meaningless and abstract sloganising.
So basically Yes Minister without the humour?
❤ I wonder

God has made His decision... The whole world lies in wickedness.✝️
There is no god. Religion is false.
