PCS responds to PM's "cowardly" "tepid bath of managed decline" civil service comment
Sir Keir Starmer went on to refer to people losing trust in politics
Responding to the Prime Ministers speech yesterday, PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “One of the reasons trust in politics is so low is because of politicians’ refusal to be accountable for anything.
"It’s always someone else’s fault. To blame civil servants, who every day work above and beyond to keep the country running, for failing to deliver reform is inaccurate and, worse, cowardly.
"Accusing people who can’t answer back. Our members want the best for this country and will continue to work hard to deliver that.”
