Starmer pitches reform to 'shackled' civil servants
Briefly

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has reached out to civil servants, promising reforms aimed at reducing bureaucracy and enhancing job performance. He is advocating for a leaner workforce with performance-related pay and the dismissal of underperforming civil servants. Starmer's aim is to create a more agile, mission-focused Civil Service that can effectively improve public services. However, his plans are meeting resistance from Civil Service unions, who criticize this approach as a revival of unsuccessful policies and argue it reduces the civil service to a mere political tool.
The Civil Service must once again become the engine room of delivery for every person in every part of the UK.
We know many of you feel shackled by bureaucracy, frustrated by inefficiency and unable to harness new technology.
Your talent has been constrained for too long. We are determined to empower you not through words, but action.
We are proud of what you do and thank you for your continued dedication.
