Keir Starmer reshuffles top team after Sue Gray ousted

After claims of infighting and micromanagement, chief of staff is replaced by Morgan McSweeney

Keir Starmer moved to shore up his top team after his embattled chief of staff Sue Gray quit after months of sniping and criticism that she acknowledged had undermined the new Labour government.

Gray resigned less than a week before the Labour government was due to mark its first 100 days in office, after becoming embroiled in a political storm at the heart of Downing Street.
