Resignations of Philip Rutnam

“I have this morning resigned as permanent secretary of the Home Office. I take this decision with great regret after a career of 33 years. I am making this statement now because I will be issuing a claim against the Home Office for constructive dismissal. In the last 10 days, I have been the target of a vicious and orchestrated briefing campaign.
He even target Priti Patel and said that she didn’t made any efforts to engage on this matter at all.
The home secretary categorically denied any involvement in this campaign to the Cabinet Office. I regret I do not believe her. She has not made the efforts I would expect to dissociate herself from the comments. I am aware that there will continue to be briefing against me now I have made this decision, but I am hopeful that at least it may not now be directed to my colleagues or the department.
This has been a very difficult decision but I hope that my stand may help in maintaining the quality of government in our country, which includes hundreds of thousands of civil servants loyally dedicated to delivering this government’s agenda. I will make no further comment at this stage.”

Philip Rutnam Net Worth:
Sir Philip McDougall Rutnam was working in the civil services of British government for almost 33 years and rising through each rank slowly. While working as Permanent Secretary to the Home Office, the most senior civil servant in the British government, he received £180,000 – £184,999 as salary. However his net worth is unknown as of now.
He looks exactly what he is… a boring, effete bureaucrat. His life has been one long misery of office work that he doesn’t realize has made him risible to the normal man. I’m actually shocked to find he’s married. Poor chap… he’s going to die worrying that somewhere, sometime, someone’s going to hit him in a game of dodge-ball.
He is as he looks and sounds stale. He needs to move out of his comfort he has become complacent.
He looks like a feeble wimp……………He sounds like a henpecked limp excuse for a man. No wonder he has called a senior a bully he would not know what a bully is it smacked him in the face.
Obviously does’t like his boat being rocked,thought he was above scrutiny
.Take a hard long look at yourself got away with murder within your tight little group doesn’t like being questioned himself
