Simon Case is the UK's highest-ranking public official who has found himself at the heart of the Partygate scandal in Westminster. The senior civil servant from Bristol is understood to not be planning to resign despite reports last week that Boris Johnson was to make him to scapegoat amid the damning findings in the Sue Gray report.
It was revealed last Wednesday (May 25) week that the Prime Minister would not not be sacking the Bristol civil servant over Partygate. Mr Case is pictured in a photograph included in the Sue Gray report standing around the Cabinet table at Boris Johnson's birthday party in June 2020 and did not receive a fine - but who is the Bristol public official at the forefront of the scandal this week?
Simon Case was born on December 27, 1978. He was educated at Bristol Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge studying history. He is married to Elizabeth Kistruck, chief finance officer for Hotels.com at Expedia Inc and they have three daughters.
