Starmer ‘delighted’ with appointment of Sue Gray in a ‘changed Labour Party’
Sue Gray is set to take up a role as Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff

SIR KEIR STARMER said today that he is “delighted” with his party’s appointment of Sue Gray as chief of staff in a “changed Labour Party.”

He brushed off former prime minister Boris Johnson’s concerns of the civil service investigator’s new role following her inquiry into the Partygate scandal.

Conservative MPs have criticised the projected appointment, which has yet to pass the Acoba scrutiny committee which scrutinises jobs offered to senior civil servants, saying it calls into question the partygate findings.
