Civil Service’s Remainer Clear-Out
Jonathan Jones, head of the Government Legal Department, has become the sixth senior Whitehall official to depart this year.

The departing names (corresponding to the numbers above) are:
- Jonathan Jones, Legal Department
- Mark Sedwill, Cabinet Secretary
- Simon McDonald, Foreign Office
- Philip Rutnam, Home Office
- Richard Heaton, Justice
- Jonathan Slater, Education
Vive la revolution…
