Foreign Office faces probe into ‘manipulation’
Sunday Times
Robert Winnett



THE Foreign Office is facing an investigation into the way it treats its staff amid allegations that diplomats and mandarins are being “politically manipulated”.

A friend of one of those affected said: “People’s careers are being ruined because they are not toeing the political line.

“The independence and probity of Foreign Office staff is something that is paramount yet recent events have undermined this key principle.”

A number of senior diplomatic staff claim they have been victimised for speaking out against government policy.

1. Probe? Manipulation?
Is this another Jeff Gannon White House Gay prostitute story?

We are about due for one, aren't we?
