Civil servants furious as Simon Case dodges sanction over Partygate

Unions criticise Gray report for outrageous' failure to censure cabinet secretary and top officials

Instead, Case and the entire No 10 top team appear to have avoided any sanction or even reprimand at all, and it is fair to say not everyone is happy - particularly more junior officials, dozens of whom were fined.
