I wouldn’t use that language, but 14 years of poor ministers, and bad policy have given us a civil service with some very poorer leaders at the top and lots of people doing things that we don’t need. Labour have been too slow recognising how bad things are
I’m pretty sure starmer isn’t actually authoritarian. The last labour government did a lot to open up the senior civil service to talent from outside. From 2010 all of that talent was replaced by public school sycophants. Don’t underestimate how much class mattered 2010-2024
