"Several Cabinet ministers have become critical of the Downing Street operation, which is said not to focus enough on long-term strategy. Civil servants are increasingly influential on policy. "
Now, is it that several cabinet members are critical of the part being played by the Civil Service? Or is the second sentence simply tagged on to imply that it is so?
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

Our Prime Minister appears to be making it up as he goes a long so he shuffles from one crises to the next. He wasnt too decisive over the Mitchell affair as we know, he let him linger on and on and on ad nausea..thereby creating more of a dithering shambles in doing so. Therefore it is no wonder his aides are losing confidence. It emerged last night that it was actually the new influx of 2010 MP's who refused to work with Andrew Mitchell. This became clear from rumblings in the late night corridors of the House following a meeting of this new influx. The new influx seem to have more of a moral responsibilty in these things, more than the old guard appear to have. Mitchell knew his game was up at that point. So it is indeed the tail of events wagging the Prime Ministerial dog.
