It’s actually against the Civil Service Code for Civil Servants to undertake Party Political work as part of their employment, which is why Labour (and other) were up in arms about it (and why the Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill ordered the Treasury to halt publication of an official analysis of Labour’s key pledges, saying it was too close to the election).

Political Impartiality
The Civil Service Code* says the following on the need for political impartiality:
You must:
serve the Government, whatever its political persuasion, to the best of your ability in a way which maintains political impartiality and is in line with the requirements of this Code, no matter what your own political beliefs are;
act in a way which deserves and retains the confidence of Ministers, while at the same time ensuring that you will be able to establish the same relationship with those whom you may be required to serve in some future Government; and
comply with any restrictions that have been laid down on your political activities.
You must not:
act in a way that is determined by party political considerations, or
use official resources for party political purposes; or
allow your personal political views to determine any advice you give or your actions.

If its anything like their 2017 manifesto it will be full of confusion , vagueness and broken promises....

How can anyone try to break up Europe after what happened in 2 World Wars? No wonder the Russians have been bank rolling Brexit.

The intentions of the 2 world wars was to join up Europe.  Were/are you in favour of that? The EU has NOT kept the peace. Many countries were not even part of it for a long time, and there was no wars between them. Any conflicts have arisen from areas/countries being bound together against their will.
Support for Brexit was there for a long, long time before any referendum campaign. Not sure what the alleged interference is meant to have been.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
Good as far as it goes - it will help the Tories retain seats in places a so-called “Remain alliance” might stand - but the Tories didn’t have an overall majority in 2017 and need to win some seats off Labour. Northern, leave-inclined Labour seats are what they need, but Farage is making it harder for them there.

The chances of a Tory majority have just gone up significantly. I'll be updating my nowcast now. This will probably harm the Liberal Democrats more than Labour, as it was the Lib Dems who looked like they could gain the most GE2017 Conservative seats.

A lot of the Remainer dead wood will be gone, former MPs like Rudd, Gauke, Hammond. Soubry, who was on a Wafer thin majority in 2017 in Broxtowe.

The north will be Boris Johnson's maker or breaker as if he fails to breakthrough there he won't get a majority.
