This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can’t accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for someone to lose their job. Taking disciplinary action or firing someone is a matter for individual employers to take in line with employment law and the employer’s HR policies.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Lockdown breaches by Government officials must be treated as Gross Misconduct: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/321970

Public Inquiry into consistent enforcement of lockdown rules: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/322360

You could start a new petition calling for a review of the role and influence of special advisers, provided that it did not call for the removal of any advisers.
