civil service agenda.spondent helen catt is following the story for us. what you make of those comments? i want to set a bit of context as to why what dominic raab has been saying is controversial. in the uk there is a duty for civil servants to be neutral. it is written into the civil service code that they will serve whatever the government of the day is, regardless of who is in power. the same people will move each time the ministers change. civil servants stay in post. governments of all sorts of political persuasions. it is a big moment for a minister to suggest that there are civil servants who are activists and trying to block policy is that the government wants to put in place. that is why it has been controversial. you have lord mcdonald, this morning, a senior civil servant in the foreign office, in the year when dominic raab was foreign secretary. he is saying that there is no civil service activism, there is no civil service activism, there is no passive aggression, there is no passive aggressi

they have problems in the civil service anyway, on a - civil service anyway, on a department basis, which over delivering policy. rishi sunak, to be fair, has been trying to overturn that i'm kind of have a more cooperative place. it will undo a lot of the work he has done. on the other hand, if he doesn't think dominic raab is guilty of what he's been accused of, politically it will be damaging to suck somebody who has a lot of influence in the party, especially among the right —— damaging to sack. he still has borisjohnson hanging around in the shadows and other pretenders. they are better than they were, but not as good as they would like them to be. they have a difficult local election coming up, and there were still be question mark over it. these are finely balanced decisions.— mark over it. these are finely balanced decisions. what do you see as the possible _ balanced decisions. what do you see as the possible likely _ balanced decisions. what do you see as the possible likely scenarios? - balanced decisions. what do you see as the possible likely scenarios? it i as the possible l

i am a pro civil service person but civil service was supposed to be the merit system. system we have now is the anti-merit system. 99% of federal employees get a fully successful rating. you cannot get rid of anybody for performance. susan: these are national percentages. 25% of federal employees, 30% of state and more heavily local. philip: again, those are concentrated in the big mainly blue states. we are talking -- if you put those figures and say how many of those people are in new york, massachusetts, california, oregon, illinois you are talking about really big percentages. susan: if you look at performance of governments and heavily unionized states versus the less so what you learn? philip: in the case of wisconsin where we went from one to the other after scott walker won his battle, billions per year were saved. so the performance by several metrics is that government improved. by the way, the democrats who come into office since scott walker haven't wanted to put it back. i know a lot of democratic politicians, they would love not to have to beg the unions
