Top civil servants should not put out messages of support for campaigns such as Black Lives Matter, Government Efficiency Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has said.
In his fortnightly Moggcast for the ConservativeHome website, he said the permanent secretaries who run Whitehall departments must be "completely apolitical".
Mr Rees-Mogg was asked about the former permanent secretaries at defence and education - Sir Stephen Lovegrove (now the national security adviser) and Jonathan Slater - who were criticised for putting out messages with the Black Lives Matter hashtag.
