I’m rather surprised no one has raised this ;-)

I don’t know whose side to take here other than to note that the Home Secretary is a proven liar ...
Which may or may not be relevant.
It also seems that the PM and the Cabinet Secretary had indeed intervened in this dispute, as so they ought.
And yet ...

ichi //If Sir Philip isn’t in the “real world” then by definition neither is the Home Secretary //
She was born above a London newsagent's shop & she's now Home Secretary for the Government of the United Kingdom - I think she knows a bit about the real world!

Absolutely and her permanent secretary also worked at the Home Office
There’s one world and it’s either all fake or all real :-)
What’s the deal about newsagents shops anyway lol

Indeed: I was just about to say that the government were launching their own inquiry.
I have confidence it will be fair.
