"Sir Keir Starmer has appointed Dame Antonia Romeo as Britain's first female cabinet secretary and head of the civil service. The appointment, which has been rumoured for weeks, comes after allegations Dame Antonia was previously spoken to about her management style. She previously faced allegations of bullying relating to her time as consul general in New York in 2017, but was later cleared by the Cabinet Office following an inquiry."
Dame Antonia Romeo has been appointed Britain's first female cabinet secretary and head of the civil service. She is currently the permanent secretary of the Home Office and succeeds Sir Chris Wormald, who quit last week amid the prime minister's efforts to overhaul Downing Street following a string of scandals. Dame Antonia faced allegations of bullying relating to her time as consul general in New York in 2017 but was later cleared by the Cabinet Office after an inquiry. The prime minister said he had been impressed by her professionalism and determination to get things done.
