OPINION - Civil servants must return to the office; working from home isn't working

It seems ministers are “quietly ignoring” the Conservatives’ rule that civil servants should be in the office three days a week. It’s not much to ask for a nice, safe job and pension provision that the rest of us can only hanker after. But nope. Labour, once the party of the workers, is now the party of the workers from home. Ministers are taking a “less dogmatic” attitude to asking civil servants to turn up at all.
