Will Sue Gray be running Keir Starmer’s government?

16 min listen

There is anxiety in parts of Starmer’s circle about Sue Gray appointing jobs in a Starmer-led Downing Street. When she’s in No.10 she’ll ‘be in her natural territory and running rings around everyone’, a former colleague told Katy Balls in her profile of ‘the Gray lady’ for The Spectator this week. How is Sue Gray shaking things up as Keir Starmer’s chief of staff? 

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and Jill Rutter, former senior civil servant.
