Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative-led government is plotting to silence critics by diminishing trade unions and limiting journalists from scrutinizing its practices, the former civil service chief has claimed.
Lord Kerslake has accused Cameron of taking an “authoritarian approach” and trying to weaken anyone with “the temerity to take a different view.”
In an interview with the Financial Times, he said: “Being a bit arrogant goes with the territory for a government, especially if you have won a mandate for a second term.”
However, there are “worrying signs” of an authoritarian approach to government, he added.
“Individually these issues stand on their own terms, but if you add it all up you wonder if this is a government that wants to weaken people who have the temerity to take a different view.”
