Sue Gray ‘breached Whitehall impartiality rules’ over Labour chief of staff job talks

2 years ago

Sue Gray “breached Whitehall impartiality rules” when she had talks with Labour about becoming Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff while she was still working as a civil servant, an investigation has found. An official Cabinet Office inquiry found she could have been “suspended or sacked had she not quit”, The Telegraph reports. As second permanent secretary in the Cabinet Office, Ms Gray compiled the report into the Partygate scandal which contributed to the downfall of Boris Johnson as prime minister.
The after effects of the illicit gatherings by Tory members are still being felt with a new video on Saturday showing a party organised by Shaun Bailey’s mayor of London campaign team at the heart of lockdown restrictions in December 2020
