CIVIL servants made it clear today that they will not be used as “vote fodder” in the Tory leadership contest.
The warning, from their union PCS, comes after the party’s leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch said that one in 10 civil servants were “so bad” they should be in prison.
Ms Badenoch, speaking at a party conference fringe event held by The Spectator on Tuesday, accused civil servants of “leaking official secrets” and “undermining ministers.”
