Starmer Accused of Creating 'Chill Throughout Civil Service' After Sacking Sir Olly Robbins

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is facing criticism from senior civil servants after sacking Sir Olly Robbins, the permanent under secretary at the Foreign Office, over the Lord Mandelson vetting controversy. The FDA trade union general secretary warned the PM is 'losing the ability to work with the civil service' and asked who would now think they were immune from politically expedient dismissal. Sir Olly gave evidence to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, defending his decision not to share vetting details to protect the system's integrity. Dame Emily Thornberry, the Labour MP chairing the committee, backed the sacking.
