Nick Ferrari wasn’t letting Kemi Badenoch’s plans for the civil service go and even people who don’t like Nick Ferarri were cheering

Kemi Badenoch’s been thinking long and hard about the Civil Service and decided that there is simply too many of them. So much so that she wants to shrink it back to the levels it was in 2016 because of how much it’s been outrageously inflated under successive governments since then.

Conservative governments, obviously.

Anyway, Nick Ferrari was wondering what taking it back to 2016 levels actually meant, specifically in terms of how many jobs would be lost. Pretty basic stuff you’d have thought.

Think again.

Maybe Badenoch should have asked a civil servant with a lot of spare time on their hands to work up the numbers for her.

And here is exactly what people made of that.

There was a PS, just in case you were interested.

Close, but no cigar.
