Britain's top civil servant, Simon Case, has indirectly criticized the Conservative Party's handling of the economy, pointing to 'sizeable in-year changes to spending plans' as a source of financial instability. This rare public rebuke from a senior official highlights concerns over the Tories' economic record and the absence of a spending review before the last election.
