It is often about adding context and detangling carefully woven language and conflations.
Keep your eyes peeled for this in future👀

📍Civil servants have similar (if not fewer) sick days than the wider population in general
📍Working from home is more likely to lead to fewer sick days and greater productivity
📍The term “Civil servants” is NOT interchangeable with “public sector”

This would be a track record that includes a string of short-lived directorships plus ownership of United Hygiene and Catering Equipment Ltd, now in liquidation owing just under £1m to creditors, including HM Revenue & Customs.
