Tory victory at General Election will take the smile off David Norminton's face, Labour's Mandarin has no future in Civil Service













Dear All

It is probably a well known fact that certain Civil Service mandarins have climbed into bed with the Labour Government.

When the Tories get into power; the ‘night of the long knives’, the classic victor’s justice will happen!

Expected to get the chop is the mandarin Sir David Normington, Permanent Secretary at the Home Office.

Normington knows he has no future in the Civil Service once the new regime takes over and has been considering bailing out for some time; eight or nine other permanent secretaries are also considering leaving.

The coup will start almost immediately.

Normington sealed his fate over the Damien Green affair, leaks from a Home Office mole to the Conservatives that brought Scotland Yard and lead to the arrest of the Tory MP.

Hugely embarrassing episode and exceedingly bad judgement on Normington’s part, leaks happen all the time, Brown was famous for using leaked material while in opposition.

Damian Green is the present shadow immigration spokesman for the Tories so he won’t be forgiving or forgetting what was done and how he was treated.

With a high number planning an exit, Sir Gus O’Donnell, the Cabinet Secretary, has asked most of them to stay on until the end of the year.

O’Donnell is one for the sack immediately in my opinion; he is seen as Labour’s man.

With a General Election only months away, the future of Labour mandarins looks very bleak, they should have stayed politically neutral but instead climbed into bed with Labour thinking the Tories would never regain power.

Now that the Labour Party is collapsing, the collaborators see the enemy at the gates.

The blood letting may not be immediate but once the Tories find their feet under Ministerial desks and the underlings ingratiate themselves, expect people’s position to be no longer tenable.

Yours sincerely
