Reports in today's papers about giving the Cabinet Secretary powers to overrule their permanent secs isn't really about Dame Antonia, it is this government trying to solve the issue that foxes all Prime Ministers when they enter office.... How does No.10 make things happen?
I discussed the issue with @SebastianEPayne on @TimesRadio this afternoon.
