The senior civil servant is expected to formally request to become a central member of Sir Keir’s top team by submitting her application to the advisory committee on business appointments RichardVaughan1 reports:
“The British people then voted for Boris Johnson to actually deliver the Brexit they had voted for a couple of years earlier, and then it feels like because of this appointment of Sue Gray we then saw the civil rice try to frustrate and remove Boris Johnson from office.”
Mr Johnson’s allies have repeatedly claimed that Ms Gray’s decision to join Sir Keir’s office shows the former prime minister removal from office was a “stitch up” and a “connivance”. But Labour has insisted that the approach to hire a senior civil servant of the stature of Ms Gray shows how seriously the party is taking the prospect of being in government, a shadow minister has said.
Ms Gray is already the subject of an informal probe by the propriety and ethics team that sits within the Cabinet Office as to whether she had broken the civil service code by failing to declare her conversations with Labour at the earliest opportunity.
