So breaking promises is fine, as long as the promise in question is deemed ‘minor’ by you. Glad we cleared that up.

Lots of people are a nightmare to work for and I haven’t been defending her. My original comments were aimed purely at the deeply unimpressive PS who started blubbing on BBC. Now it looks like the CS are going full out to get her. No argument from me, if she is guilty then get rid. But get rid too of these backstabbing CS’s....what was that term used in the USA, drain the swamp......

Ran it up the pole far enough that HMG paid a large amount of money to the complainant and are preparing to do so again.

Erm... The Civil Service seem to be standing up for their employees in the face of being yelled at and abused by somebody who they are duty bound to assist in the delivery of her job.
Who's back are they stabbing?

If the weatherman says I promise you it won’t rain , repeatedly and You say I won’t tolerate those who break promises then I personally I wouldn’t Expect you to champion that particular weatherman otherwise I don’t see the point of you making that particular statement . Like I say though it your standpoint no requirement for me to understand it
In fairness Johnson has broken promises he has direct control over so it’s not really an accurate comparison but you’ll be happy defending him and that’s fine but you can surely see a tad frustrating for others .

How does reporting bullying, at the time, equate to backstabbing?

Yes. Embarrassing lickspittling going on in defence of the indefensible here.......
For the DfiD one - reporting it to the Cabinet Secretary and CO lodging it in the system in case she returns as a Minister is rather serious.
For DWP - the complainant was given a significant payout.
Now for the HO, there is the unprecedented act of a Permanent Secretary suing the Government with the support of the FDA (the Union which never strikes and is most reluctant to take action against the Government). The Cabinet Secretary also stated his regret at the resignation.
The CO are now conducting an inquiry in to her conduct as a Minister.
