"A day earlier Ms Patel had faced claims that she was distrusted by intelligence chiefs. Later in February 2017 he replaced Mark Sedwill to handle the position and responsibilities of Permanent Secretary at the Home Office. The whole thing was very odd.”While sources close to Ms Patel deny Sir Philip’s claims that her conduct towards employees included "shouting and swearing" and "belittling people", they admit she is “not backwards in coming forwards” when it comes to running arguably the most difficult department in government.“Priti is someone who doesn’t mince her words and makes it clear what she wants,” said one. He was born on 19th June 1965 in Bromley, London and spent almost 33 years of his in serving British government at various civil services. Sir Philip McDougall Rutnam served in the British government’s civil service for nearly 33 years, and gradually rose through each rank. While working as Permanent Secretary to the Home Office, the most senior civil servant in the British government, he received £180,000 – £184,999 as salary. “She repeatedly asked for the information but it was never forthcoming. Yesterday Sir Mark, who is the head of the civil service, thanked Sir Philip for his "long and dedicated career of public service" and said Shona Dunn will become acting permanent secretary.But to allies of Sir Philip, the Cabinet Secretary's remarks were too little, too late.A senior official said civil servants were concerned that Sir Mark had "gone native", having failed to issue his own public statement backing Sir Philip.The official said: "Who is going to be next on the hit list? I’m not sure anyone saw that one coming.”Sir Philip has said he intended to issue a claim against the Home Office for constructive dismissal - but any tribunal is likely not only to lay bare the truth of his relationship with Ms Patel - but also her predecessor. Suffice to say it didn’t go down well.”The resignation follows more than a week of reports about rows between Sir Philip and Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, with allies claiming that he had attempted to block announcements, thwart staff moves and undermine her in Cabinet.
Sir Philip’s hasty exit means that Sir Mark Sedwill, the Cabinet Secretary, looks set to face more intense scrutiny as permanent secretary to the Home Office under Theresa May from February 2013.As Sir Philip’s predecessor, the blame for the wrongful detention and threatened deportation of at least 83 British subjects who arrived in the UK before 1973, particularly from Caribbean countries as members of the “Windrush generation” could lay at his door.Allies of Sir Philip said a factor in his decision had been the refusal of Mr Johnson's official spokesman to endorse the Home Office mandarin on Monday despite saying the Prime Minister had "full confidence" in the Home Secretary.Asked to offer the same endorsement to Sir Philip, the spokesman simply said: "The Prime Minister has full confidence in the civil service. Priti Patel (* 29.März 1972 in London) ist eine britische Politikerin der Conservative Party.Sie war von Mai 2015 bis zum 13. Saturday February 22 2020, 12.01am, The Times. Back to school: How students and staff will stay safe from coronavirus After Priti Patel was appointed as the Home Secretary of British Government, she asked to terminate Philip from his position because he raised objections about her behavior.On 29th February 2020, Philip Rutnam decided to resign citing he would take government to court because of “vicious briefing campaign”. In the last 10 days, I have been the target of a vicious and orchestrated briefing campaign.He even target Priti Patel and said that she didn’t made any efforts to engage on this matter at all.The home secretary categorically denied any involvement in this campaign to the Cabinet Office. Boris Johnson chose not to sack Gavin Williamson... and perhaps there’s a very simple reason I take this decision with great regret after a career of 33 years.
