I think she's probably an awful person and probably has been all sorts of awful to all the civil servants. I am really not a fan and I do think this kind of behaviour should be held to account

BUT I am willing to bet a LOT of money that Philip Rutham would have reacted very differently if she was not an Indian woman.

The amount of bullying that happens by senior men both in the corporate world and in the public service is massive. And yet here we have all these unprecedented and extraordinary steps being taken and it just happens to be a woman....

I'd have to disagree with you on this one. She is a truly nasty piece of work (death penalty anyone?) and was sacked by Teresa May. She should never have been given the job. Being a woman doesn't give her a get out of jail free card.

Bull! JRM, IDS, Johnson and other similarly awful men get just as much criticism.

She wouldn’t be getting this much crap if she was a decent human being but she’s not. I therefore couldn’t give a stiff how much crap she’s getting.
