    absolutely what someone who knows they are in the right will do

    As she should. She led a significant inquiry into Partygate which played a massive role in the decline of the Tories vote share. Her being headhunted to be a harpoon of the Labour government was always incredibly shady and calls in to question the independence of her previous work.

  3. Threatening-Silence- on

    Why does this already feel like the end days of a three term government after only four months?

  4. Huh. Was she picked to take the fall then? Of all the scandals, hers was the nothingburger that stood out.

    Its gonna do nothing for Labour. Just take out Starmer tbh. The Labour Together guys only installed him to purge Corbynites in the first place. Its not like he has anything going for him. No charisma, no political savvyness. Forget that, not even basic political sense.

    Do the centrists still not have an actual viable politician ready to actually lead yet? How long are they gonna stick with the temp hire?

    It’s because Morgan McSweeney and his followers are basically briefing against her constantly.

    That guy is a dangerous character for British politics imo.

    >Sir Keir Starmer’s chief adviser and former Labour general election campaign director Morgan McSweeney will replace Sue Gray as the prime minister’s top adviser.

    So the top brass of the government will be _even_ more inward looking, completely driven by Labour Together’s mantra.

    The media has got used to feeding off political chaos and don’t intend to give up feeding into it as much as they can. They’ve been deposing PMs regularly and they’ll be having a run at Kier. I doubt they actually care about who is PM, they’re just addicted to the power.

    To take up a new role as the PM’s envoy for nations and regions, important info missing from the headline.

  9. Held my nose about this but labour are really fucking this up. Really disappointed

  10. mao_was_right on

    >She has been appointed as the prime minister’s new envoy for regions and nations.

    The (always deluded) idea that the civil service were impartial during the previous government is surely in tatters for good.

  11. ThatGuyMaulicious on

    Its funny that this Labour government already looks to be in utter chaos 4 months in.

  12. All-Day-stoner on

    This feels like Starmer is reshuffling to turn the optics around with all this pay and freebie row? I have no clue how Labour are shitting the bed after four months! Pull yourselves together!

  13. Legendofvader on

    More like pushed out. Nature of politics and I bet her severance was generous

  14. CorruptedFlame on

    Feels like the new media got a taste for power after all the Tory cycling, and now they’re desperate not to let go until the next GE so we get this weird frenzy of attack articles and faux-outrage being fed to the readers.

  15. Certainly feels like the media at large just want constant political uncertainty.

    The hit pieces have been constant since Labour took office.

    Just feeds the far-right’s agenda to be seen as the layman’s choice to bring stability.

    Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.

  16. “Change” as in the country is being run by a small kliq of right wing “lads”

  17. wagonwheels87 on

    What’s that, a government that did everything in it’s power to avoid criticism turns out to be a weak government.

    Weird that.

    Addendum; for the downvoter rushing to defend the Starmer government – you’re making the problem worse.

  18. What an absolute basket case UK politics has become.

    There are people and media sources out there who are actually trying to paint the narrative that Labour weren’t democratically elected with the largest majority for decades and they’ve somehow cheated their way into power. These people are dangerous!

  19. No confidence vote by Jan at this rate, just needs Reeves’ budget to be poorly received, someone buy a lettuce and start the timer.

  20. Political and societal system in this country is so broken beyond repair. Not willing to make the hard decisions. Always cowardly.

  21. queen-bathsheba on

    I don’t understand why it was so controversial that she gelot paid more than pm. I’m sure he meets people every week paid more than him.

    I do understand, and share the anger regarding gifts and feel this resignation is to distract.

  22. Didn’t Sue Gray interview Mr Keir Starmer before commencing – to determine whether or not he was remotely qualified to run a proverbial in a brewery?

  23. Clean-One-2903 on

    This government has hit the rocks very quickly.

    Is it the media intense, corporate billionaire lobbying or is it a Labour party that wasn’t really prepared for government and a Chancellor and PM that really are only in it for themselves and the Blairites.

    I give Angela Rayner 6 months before she quits and the Labour party splits down the middle.

  24. JoeThrilling on

    The people in here complaining about this are the same people that were complaining when she was appointed.

  25. AnalThermometer on

    Another piece of poor judgement by Kier. I don’t understand how she can be allowed near government at all. She broke the Civil code. There needs to be a change where civil servants should never be allowed to join governments, otherwise they’re incentivised to do favours to help the careers of ministers or effectively spy for the opposition.

  26. She didn’t even last 100 days. This government isn’t representing the new hope I voted them in for

  27. Cyanopicacooki on

    Most Hollywood marriages have lasted longer than the affair between Sir Keir and Sue

  28. BathtubGiraffe5 on

    Somehow this just gives credibility to all the accusations. Labour looking very bad lately.

  29. >Sue Gray has resigned from her position as Keir Starmer’s chief of staff after finding herself at the centre of a political storm since Labour came into power.

    >Gray will be replaced by Morgan McSweeney, the party’s election guru who masterminded Starmer’s succession from Jeremy Corbyn, with whom she is said to have found herself at odds in government.

    Ahh, the person who masterminded the undermining and sabotage of Corbyn with the Labour NEC now placed up on high. The coup fully complete.
