ATTACK ON THE UNFIT BLOB

SIMON CASE, the head of the Civil Service, has said the unsayable: Whitehall officials do not have the skills and experience to address the country’s biggest challenges.

Of course, Ministers have been saying this about civil servants for years – think of John Reid in 2006 declaring the Home Office ‘unfit for purpose’. But for a man in Case’s position to acknowledge the problem so openly is significant, not to mention admirable. That said, I don’t expect ‘the Blob’ will take kindly to his candour. Do send me your address, Simon, and I’ll send you one of my spare tin hats.

I’M SORRY, but ‘Omicron’ sounds like some Marvel supervillain or giant prehistoric sea monster. Either someone at the WHO is having a laugh or they’re doing it on purpose to heighten the sense of impending doom. Or both.
