Tory fury as Partygate investigator Sue Gray made Keir Starmer’s chief of staff

[pellinore]

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is set to appoint Sue Gray – the senior civil servant who oversaw the Partygate inquiry into Boris Johnson’s government – to be his new chief of staff.

The move sparked outrage from Jacob Rees-Mogg and other Johnson allies, who claimed the Sue Gray report now appeared to be a “left-wing stitch up” aimed at undermining the ex-PM.

Ms Gray, who led the investigation into rule-breaking Covid parties at No 10 and Whitehall, quit her senior role at the Cabinet Office on Thursday with a view to joining Sir Keir’s team.

There are at least 2 ways of looking at this outcome.   Left wing stitch-up?  Civil servant. utterly disgusted, chooses the other side?   Who knows what the truth of the matter is.
