‘It was very clear that she was off more than she should have been. ‘We all got the same amount of annual leave – 25 days – and her social media was looked at. ‘The absence issue was quite something,’ says another source. ‘You need to get away a bit more, Carrie,’ added Nigel Adams. ‘Delighted you’ve made it to another country for a rare change,’ wrote Paul Scully jokingly after she posted a photograph on Instagram of a beautiful Greek beach. Other work or holiday destinations over the years included Venice, St Tropez, Rome, the Cayman Islands, Portugal, Mustique, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Croatia, Vienna, Barbados, Greece, Tuscany, Germany, Paris and New York.Įven some Conservative MPs commented on the frequency with which she seemed to be away.

‘She didn’t seem to come in very often and when I asked after her, I was told that she had a headache or was on holiday.’ ‘There were quite a few times when I wondered where she was and I was just told she was ‘off’,’ recalls one former colleague who worked alongside her at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. In the first six months of 2014, for example, she made visits with friends and colleagues to Dublin, Morocco, the Cotswolds, Spain, Vienna and Moldova. It’s said in the past decade, she notched up at least 40 work or leisure trips abroad and in Britain.

Not only that, but these bookings had been made using the names of junior members of staff without their knowledge, to disguise the fact that they were for Carrie….Ĭarrie’s habit of peppering her social-media accounts with bulletins of where in the world she was at any given time had, seemingly, begun to catch up with her.

Taxis could be booked by staff using a password. Under a long-standing arrangement, CCHQ had an account with a minicab firm. The second related to the amount of expenditure she had incurred in taxi journeys that had been charged to CCHQ. The first was Carrie’s commitment to her job as director of communications. He was aware of two principal areas of concern. He was in charge of spending and salaries and, like any good businessman, he wanted to be sure that the party was getting value for money. Insiders say that Sir Mick ran his section like a business. Sir Mick Davis, the Tory Party’s chief executive, was a prime mover. They lobbied for her to stay.’īut Lewis alone was not involved in deciding her future. One source remembers: ‘Zac and Sajid contacted Brandon Lewis and asked him not to get rid of Carrie. ‘A lot of people hadn’t been happy about her behaviour for quite a long time,’ they say. The source recalls that Lewis was soon made aware of concerns about Carrie’s work ethic.
