MrNesser@lemmy.world 2 days agoCivil servants have a lot of control not over policy but over outcomes.
The question here though is did starmer make his decision on mandelson before the vetting was completed thus nullifying it or after.

That’s a difference that matters only if the people at the top of the civil service have no opinions on what constitutes a desirable outcome. I would say that’s effectively impossible.
