debated the repercussions of Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab's resignation with the two guests on Sunday.He said: "It is indicative of a much larger problem within the Civil Service and that is that it is simply not doing the job that we all want it to do.
"It is very difficult to find any area of government which has been effectively implemented almost this whole millennium." Mr Knox blamed the problem on "management" stating that "actual administration" takes "second place to all political issues".Dominic Raab says he resigned with his 'head held high' and 'integrity intact' after quitting over bullying report
Andrew Castle then brought in the former head of the Civil Service Bob Kerslake and questioned: "Is it right we challenge the Civil Service in this way? It doesn't seem to be working, management is considered to be poor, productivity is low, do you accept that?" Mr Kerslake replied: "No I don't, of course, it is right to challenge the Civil Service, it can and should do better but there is a lot that is good about the Civil Service.Mr Kerslake told Andrew the tone of Mr Raab's resignation risks a "bad relationship" between the government and civil service which would be "bad for the country".
