The former head of the diplomatic service has said Boris Johnson was the worst prime minister he worked under.
Johnson was 'charismatic but chaotic'
Sir Simon's tweet put Mr Johnson's premiership in peril, with the row over Mr Pincher leading to the former PM's exit from office. "Second, as the story developed, it seemed that nobody was paying attention to the previous victims. And there were victims.
Despite initially questioning whether his letter would have any impact, Sir Simon added:"I accept that mine was the final straw that made it onto the Johnson camel's back first." "Margaret Thatcher was a very difficult prickly character for the system, but who had a clarity and a sense of purpose and a sense of galvanising the system which looks to have been one of our most effective prime ministers in 300 years," he said.
He said he does not think Mr Blair lied when he said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq but"the intelligence picture comprehensively misled him" and he"believed what he was saying".
