. —— m p's lord france's is looking at how whitehall works. -- francis. looking at how whitehall worksrgue the opposite and that the whole point is that it is apolitical? i think there are two separate questions. there are questions about workplace standards and bullying in whitehall and westminster and a separate question about how the civil servants woke. it is dangerous to conflate the two. this was an independent report by a senior lawyerfound dominc raab behaved unacceptably. this was not about standards, civil servants not performing up to scratch, it was about how dominc raab behaved and the report found he did humiliate people in the workplace, consistent negative criticism, it was not constructive. we behaved aggressively in certain meetings. i think it is wrong for the government to respond to a report that has found that a minister bullied civil servants. it is not the first time stop priti patel was also found to have bullied civil servants. gavin williamson resigned over serious allegations of bullying but there was not an investigation of them. that question is separate s

our deputy political editor vicki young takes a closer look at the workplace culture in whitehall.or minister to be caught up in a bullying scandal. but this isn't an isolated case. over the past few years, anger about the workplace culture here at westminster has increased, as examples emerged of unacceptable behaviour in mps�* offices and government departments. when priti patel was home secretary, an independent report concluded she had broken the ministerial code of conduct after shouting and swearing at officials. are you a bully? i am here to give an unreserved apology today. and i am sorry if i have upset people in any way whatsoever. despite the findings, boris johnson refused to sack her and his ethics adviser resigned in protest. this former whitehall official says outspoken attacks on the civil service by advisers like dominic cummings have soured relations. we get the very best outcomes in government when ministers and civil servants work together, when civil servants believe in their ministers, and ministers are able to get the very best out of their civil servants. so

dishes have been taken in whitehall because there's no government instrument currently.as a budget and as for northern island and as you say matthew, there is currently no regional government in belfast and it's because it's a power—sharing arrangement between unionists who essentially want northern islands are remitted uk and irish nationalists who want northern ireland to become part of the republican of ireland. the main democratic party, the democratic unities are vetoing the power—sharing coalition because of their concerns about the brexit trading arrangements for northern ireland. so, in terms of the reaction here to the budget, we have had heard words like grim, devastating, bhutto to describe it from politicians to trade unions and from politicians to trade unions and from lobby groups. the minister has hit back at accusations that he set out a punishment budget, as some have described it, he said the purpose wasn't to punish anybody but to make sure services could continue in the absence of a devolved government. northern islands government. northern islands go
