If Sue Gray, then why not others? Balance of probability.
All you difficult sods simply say "prove it" rather than debate it.

There are 489,000 civil servants - they aren't obliged to not have political views they're obliged to be impartial in their day to day duties. There's no reason to expect them to individually hold views materially different from the population as a whole, adjusted for working age and other demographics. There will be right wing and left wing civil servants working side by side.
Even still - it's not clear Sue Gray is an example of anything other than a rational person moving to a new job with better career prospects. It's not like she's volunteering on her own time to go round door knocking.
