Sir Keir Starmer’s new team has started work in Downing Street after yesterday’s sudden departure of his chief of staff Sue Gray. A cabinet minister admitted that the senior civil servant had become a “lightning conductor for criticism” of the Government.

Instead, the Prime Minister has promoted his head of political strategy Morgan McSweeney to replace her.
