Josie Stewart won an employment tribunal case against the government for unfair dismissal, after she leaked information in the public interest
A former civil servant who was unfairly dismissed for blowing the whistle about the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and Boris Johnson’s role in evacuating a pet charity from Kabul, says she now wants her job back.
Josie Stewart, 44, also hopes that her successful case will force Whitehall to take public interest disclosures seriously, and establish an independent commissioner for whistleblowers.
