Episode description
Former head of the Foreign Office Simon McDonald tells Matt civil servants were scared to go into Dominic Raab's office.
As well as claims about the minister's behaviour, he also discusses his long diplomatic career working with six foreign secretaries and five prime ministers, answers the charge that the civil service opposed Brexit, and talks about his part in the downfall of Boris Johnson.
Plus columnists Danny Finkelstein and David Aaronovitch discuss how ministers should treat officials, and the failure of Trump-supporting candidates to win in the US midterm elections.
