That is what the report has concluded. She broke the code. A breach of the agreed, self imposed standards. That is the accepted “fair opinion”. As I mentioned before, this has been deemed serious enough for two high level resignations. Not to be taken lightly.
I suspect the Prime Minister is prepared to risk trial by media with this - on one hand you have the Home Office who have a long list of public failures where they have embarrassed the sitting Home Secretary over the last 20+ years across Labour and Tory governments and on the other hand you have a Secretary of State that apparently yelled and swore at senior figures after they repeatedly failed to carry out requests.
As for the resignations, Sir Philip Rutnam gets his day in court regardless of this report and Sir Alex Allan resigned because his report was ignored - if the government chooses to fight this, I can't see them losing public support based on the current details. Maybe resignations is the best way of getting rid of the dead wood?

I'm more than happy to support a Minister who takes obvious umbrage at the lazy incompetence of public servants. What a misnomer.
Given some of the meetings I've been in, I'd probably give them an alibi if they beat them to death.

Is it too much to ask for a government minister that doesn't stutter and stammer constantly while speaking?
Any particular interview you are referring to?
This current bunch certainly aren't the best off the cuff speakers / interviewees that have ever existed.

I really don’t Keir.
You can just NO.

I was heavily involved with HS2/Community interaction and met one of the Permanent Secretaries she is said to have upset on 2-3 occasions. The bloke was arrogant. patronising and utterly incompetent. He really didn't give a stuff about assisting the public and even refused to speak to our local MP who was in the same room with us.
I'm dead against bullying, but I'm glad Priti Patel gave him an earful.

I hope all the multi-billion £ fuck-ups he was responsible for get well and truly aired in public.

It blows my mind that a paper allows such utter crap to be published.
The Guardian is as a crap as the Daily Express - just has bigger words.

The Express can spell its words though.

Rutman's statement on report's findings: 'Enormous efforts were made from top to bottom in the Home Office to support the new Home Secretary and respond to her direction, and significant achievements have resulted.'

Just not in any measurable form...
