When I was in the Department for International Trade I asked whether some of our plans would be legal. The answer was that it would take a long time for them to be legally challenged. Afterwards I was sacked.

I found out that we would be making up the rules as we went along and would try to charm other countries into accepting this. I was told they would even be grateful for what we were doing. And challenges at the WTO would take a long time.

I was also told I must have autism because of the way I ask questions.

I was told that I was too direct, didn't know "HOW" things are done in the civil service, "dominated a conversation" and sat with my arms crossed in a meeting.

This happened in June 2019 and my employment tribunal is scheduled for January 2021.

At the preliminary hearing in February the government asked the judge to ban me from tweeting about the case, but he refused and said I should have my freedom.
