Starmer wants to tackle civil service ‘churn’ – report

Sir Keir Starmer will seek to reduce “churn” among senior civil servants if Labour wins the next general election, according to reports.

Allies of the Labour leader have told the Financial Times that Sir Keir thinks that it is wrong that senior officials change or move jobs so frequently.

They told the paper that “civil service stability” will be important for delivering Labour’s aims in office, if it takes power after the next general election...

It comes at the same time as concerns that some civil servants are being overpromoted amid a squeeze on pay in Whitehall.

What about all the churn in his father's life? At one moment a stout-hearted proletarian, at another the owner of the Oxted Tool Company complete with a factory and a son attending a fee-paying school.

Churn! Churn! Churn! (to Everything There Is a Season).


N.B. Admittedly Starmer Jr attended on a bursary but whoever admitted that Boris attended Eton on a scholarship?

He wants them to work from the same home.

dearieme - I'll go for the stout-hearted proletarian with a son who worked hard enough to get that bursary. Or the stout-hearted proletarian made him terrified of state education.

Sam - they possibly do that now, but on rotation system. "Office at yours next week?"
