All well and good but ref Rycoft, he has a well feathered nest in advance. He moved seamlessly in and out of the public sector to the private sector (Scottish and Newcastle and Hutchison Whampoa).
Damned IMHO by serving Clegg - 'He then became the Director-General of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office in the Cabinet Office in 2012, where he served until the general election in May 2015.
Thereafter he became the Second Permanent Secretary and Head of the newly-formed UK Governance Group. As of September 2015, Rycroft was paid a salary of between £155,000 and £159,999, making him one of the 328 most highly paid people in the British public sector at that time.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Rycroft
His legacy speaks for itself. It would appear that the pocket pols in HMG and the civil servants working under them have left us naked as we enter the Brexit chamber. As for Cameron, Gove and Johnson, there are no words.
