Now, Jacob Rees-Mogg is eliminating “woke” Civil Service training programs: Minister eliminates over 250 “motivational workshops,” including “Find Your Mojo” and “Buddy to Boss,” deeming them a waste of taxpayers’ time and money.
Jacob Rees-Mogg has been exceptionally critical of the civil service and WFH employees.
Currently, he has abandoned sixty percent of “health, inclusiveness, and diversity” courses.
He criticized the “indoctrination” of employees with “divisive ideological objectives.”
Today, it was discovered that under a fresh crackdown by Jacob Rees-Mogg, over 250 training courses that diverted public officials from their work with ‘wokery’ will be eliminated.
The minister for the Cabinet Office claims to have eliminated sixty percent of “health, inclusion, and diversity” courses and has written to Tory department heads pushing them to do the same.
Mr. Rees-Mogg has made it very evident that ‘wokery’ in the Civil Service wastes staff’ time when agencies such as the Passport Office and DVLA are experiencing work backlogs.
Session titles include ‘Find Your Mojo,’ ‘Give Me Strength,’ ‘Buddy to Boss,’ ‘Tricky People,’ ‘Wood for the Trees,’ and ‘Debiasing Decision-making.’
Mr. Rees-Mogg has also spearheaded a fight to get taxpayer-funded personnel back in the office, during which he has attacked a course he claims was ‘indoctrinating’ civil officials with ‘divisive ideological objectives’
The crackdown led by Jacob Rees-Mogg (above) covers 265 courses in the civil service.
Mr. Rees-Mogg stated that the courses will be eliminated “so that civil servants may gain truly valuable skills as opposed to being indoctrinated in the divisive ideological objectives that have penetrated some of these courses.”
He told The Daily Telegraph, “We cannot force taxpayers to pay for government officials to attend seminars with titles such as “Find Your Mojo,” “Buddy to Boss,” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You.”
Instead of indoctrinating federal officials with divisive ideological objectives, courses of this nature are being eliminated so that civil servants can acquire really valuable skills.
According to the Telegraph, 265 of 441 Cabinet Office “health, inclusion, and diversity” trainings have been completed.
The Cabinet Office eliminated ‘awake’ courses.

There are still courses on necessities such as first aid.
However, “De-biasing Decision-making” has been eliminated. It helps users to employ behavioral insights to offset cognitive biases in government and make better calibrated choices and judgements, resulting in improved project planning, delivery, and policy results, according to the web description.
Also eliminated is “Aware Inclusion,” which aimed to guarantee that employees “understand prejudice and endeavor to make our more unconscious biases conscious, so that we may reflect upon them, confront them when necessary, and decrease their potential to influence our decision-making.”
Ms. Truss would pick Mr. Rees-Mogg as Business Secretary if she wins the Tory leadership election next week, it was revealed last night.
According to the Foreign Secretary’s allies, Mr. Rees-Mogg is in position to take over the vital economic portfolio and has been tasked with slashing regulations and boosting Britain’s energy output.
Mr. Rees-Mogg, the current Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Cabinet Efficiencies, has been projected for a major economic position in Ms. Truss’s government after he became the first prominent person to back her quest to replace Boris Johnson.
But prior rumors that he will be appointed Leveling Up Secretary had been deemed “off the mark.”
The expected arrival of Mr. Rees-Mogg is believed to be a “open secret” at the Department for Businesses, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, where he has joined the current Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng in recent days for discussions with energy executives.
Mr. Kwarteng, a close friend of Ms. Truss, is expected to be named Chancellor.
A friend of Mr. Rees-Mogg said that he wants to see “Conservative answers” to the energy issue, including a strong push for additional oil and gas in the North Sea and the lifting of the fracking ban.
According to the source, he is certain that all forms of accessible energy must be used.
The first half of this year saw a 26% rise in oil and gas output, but he wants to go far further, including fracking.
Mr. Rees-Mogg has also advocated for the removal of all remaining EU regulations from statute books by the end of the next year.
Following a Cabinet dispute earlier this year, the idea was scaled down, but Miss Truss has subsequently accepted the program as part of broader measures to reduce red tape and capitalize on the advantages of Brexit.
This includes a review of EU financial regulations that now make it impossible for pension funds and insurance firms to invest in British infrastructure regulations. According to campaign sources, the change may free up tens of billions of pounds for economic investment in the United Kingdom.
The presence of Mr. Rees-Mogg at the Department of Business is also likely to impede past government initiatives to promote flexible working.
Ministers intended to implement a default right to flexible working, which would have included the ability to work from home.
Mr. Rees-Mogg has already initiated an examination of flextime in the public sector. And he has spoken out firmly against the work-from-home mentality in Whitehall.
According to sources, Ms. Truss has yet to finalize her Cabinet nominations.
She has spent the most of the last week holed up in her official mansion in Chevening, running what one aide termed a “government in waiting.”
Mr. Kwarteng, another devoted free marketeer, is reportedly a “shoo-in” for the position of Chancellor.
It is generally anticipated that Attorney General Suella Braverman would be promoted to Home Secretary after supporting Miss Truss when her own leadership ambition faltered.
Minister of the Foreign Office James Cleverly is anticipated to follow Mrs. Truss as Foreign Secretary.
Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey is expected to lead the Cabinet Office at the heart of the government, while Treasury Minister Simon Clarke is being considered for the Levelling Up department formerly led by Michael Gove.
