The announcement of the return of imperial measurements is an important recent tradition which we should all celebrate. I’m already looking forward to the next time this is announced. — PolitiTweet.org

What we've had confirmed about the culture in Downing Street and why the curious tale of the meeting between Boris Johnson & Sue Gray - & who instigated it - matters. Me for @NewStatesman. https://t.co/cH3NVm5sWo — PolitiTweet.org

Some thoughts in @NewStatesman on why Boris Johnson should be held responsible for the culture in Downing Street but that senior officials need to defend & exemplify the best traditions of the civil service. That means being willing to challenge the PM. https://t.co/cH3NVm5sWo — PolitiTweet.org

Locked back doors, that's the answer. Oh, and armed police officers at the front door of every school. No other policy response spring to mind? — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@owenbarder @NewStatesman Certainly not wanting to absolve Johnson of responsibility. But I think there have been senior officials in the recent past who would not have allowed Johnson to so degrade the culture on No 10 in the way that has been allowed to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

On issues like this - incorrect information being briefed, fellow civil servants being placed in an unfair position - officials really have to push back against the PM. PS I speak as someone whose experience of the civil service is overwhelmingly positive. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Sue Gray should've been protected from any such meeting (where the PM reportedly questioned the need to publish her report). Nor should the No 10 press office have briefed that Gray instigated the meeting when senior officials knew this was untrue. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

There are some details to this story that should not be overlooked. It is reported that Johnson was 'apoplectic' at reports that Gray was going to criticise him, the No 10 Perm Sec arranged a Johnson/Gray meeting but No 10 briefs that Gray instigated it. https://t.co/9fobQ91oky — PolitiTweet.org

If senior officials fail to challenge the Prime Minister, he will further contaminate the culture of the civil service just as he has contaminated the culture of the Conservative Party. My latest piece for @NewStatesman. https://t.co/cH3NVm5sWo — PolitiTweet.org
