Civil service ire at Jacob Rees-Mock

- BY PATRICK DALY

A UNION has blasted Jacob Rees-Mogg for mocking civil servants who work from home.

The minister for government efficiency left notes in empty Whitehall offices saying: “Sorry you were out when I visited. I look forward to seeing you in the office very soon.”

The FDA union, which represents top public servants, branded the printed cards – with a government crest at the top – “crass” and “condescend­ing”.

General secretary Dave Penman said they showed the MP had no clue about modern work practices.

Mr Rees-Mogg is on a “back to the office” drive.

A source said: “He strongly believes government works best when as many people as possible are in their department­s.”
