Far from believing in the notion of an intransigent civil service blocking blob progress, the public are significantly more likely to say civil servants are more trustworthy, hardworking, competent and have the public’s interests at heart than Ministers - and that’s something that even those who voted Conservative at the last election agree with. But it’s not all good news for civil servants, the significant number of people answering “don’t know” suggests that after months of it feeling like the UK is “broken” the public don’t particularly have much faith in any of our public servants elected or not.
