Boris Johnson
There was little love lost between Johnson and the civil service when he resigned as prime minister in 2022. Former foreign office boss Simon McDonald had gone public to claim that Johnson knew much more about the record of his scandal-hit Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher than first claimed, a key factor in Johnson’s ouster by his own party.
But Johnson’s battle with bureaucracy started long before then. When he entered Downing Street in 2019, he brought in maverick Vote Leave campaigner Dominic Cummings as chief adviser. Cummings, an ex-special adviser, spoke about slashing departments and hiring “weirdos” and “misfits” instead of Whitehall old hands to shake things up. Cummings was a former aide to Tory Michael Gove, who had coined the phrase “the blob” to describe the shortcomings of the government machine.

At the height of the Covid pandemic, Johnson berated parts of a government machine that he said had “seemed to respond so sluggishly” to the crisis, likening it to a “recurring bad dream when you are telling your feet to run and your feet won’t move.” In the dying days of his administration he set out plans to cut 91,000 civil service jobs, although this never came to pass.
Liz Truss
No ex-prime minister has more beef with officialdom than Truss, who won over Tory members with regular attacks on a ballooning public sector — then accused it of plotting to bring her down.
The former Conservative leader has repeatedly blamed the abrupt halt to her 49-day premiership on the “deep state,” claiming that an establishment plot blocked her tax-slashing plans. Truss said the Bank of England, Treasury and the Office for Budget Responsibility spending watchdog had undermined her growth agenda and spooked the markets — a claim met with more than a few raised eyebrows from those who worked alongside her.

Truss has since gone stateside with her critique, telling the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year that decisions “are not being made by politicians” and that “unelected bureaucrats” are really running the United Kingdom.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
