GB News: 'It should be mandatory for civil servants paid for by us to do their jobs in this country - it is outrageous that some of them don't'
A recent Freedom of Information release by the Taxpayers Alliance reveals that 2,000 public sector workers have been allowed to perform their UK jobs from foreign locations over the past five years. Critics, including MP Richard Holden, argue that this practice is unacceptable, as these employees are effectively working from vacation spots while taxpayers struggle.
The report highlights concerns over the accountability of unelected bodies, or "quangos," that have significant power over public policy. While a government spokesperson stated that civil servants should primarily work from the office, many organizations have their own policies allowing staff to work abroad, raising questions about oversight and effectiveness.
