Grayâs position was starting to become untenable, because she had become âthe storyâ and, more significantly, because she had failed to gain the trust of the special advisers who are needed to make the government work.
It was suggested that she would be âgone by Christmasâ, but Starmer has moved quickly to end that story and to install Morgan McSweeney, his election-winning strategist, as chief of staff instead â with a slew of further political appointments to strengthen No 10.
