Sir Philip Rutnam attacks Priti Patel as he resigns as top civil servant at the Home Office

Описание: The top civil servant at the Home Office resigned today after a high-profile bust-up with Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Sir Philip Rutnam said there was a "vicious and orchestrated campaign" against him and he will sue the Government for constructive dismissal.

It comes after an alleged media briefing war between Ms Patel and the £175,000-a-year mandarin.

The Home Secretary was accused of "bullying staff" - which she denies - and reportedly demanded Sir Philip be moved to another department.
