On Tuesday Sir Keir Starmer will come under pressure in the Commons to explain how long he had been talking to Sue Gray before he offered her a job. Jeremy Quin, Cabinet Office minister, will make a statement on an “update into the circumstances leading to the resignation of a senior civil servant”. He will give new details of the circumstances behind Ms Gray’s departure earlier this year to take up the position of chief of staff to the Labour leader. Some insiders believe the Cabinet Office may have decided she did break rules by keeping discussions with Labour secret before she resigned. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/04/30/keir-starmer-explain-sue-gray-hiring-commons/Starmer has been asked many times recently how long he was in discussions with Sue Gray before he offered her a job. Thus far he has flatly refused to say. Why wont he say? Could it be because he knows that any secret discussions before she resigned from the cabinet office would have been against the rules.  |

He has said that "all rules were followed and there were no parties".😂
He also said "I only spoke with her to test my eyesight".
and "She is very good at getting booze into NO.10".

Sue Grey is also refusing to cooperate with an investigation into whether she broke the civil service code by speaking to Labour about joining the party while working as a Cabinet Office official. Something does not smell right |

What I find puzzling was that Sue Gray was lauded as a shining example of the perfectly fair and neutral civil service. She may as well have been made a Saint Susan whilst she was investigating the Tory gatherings which were deemed contrary to the rules. Saint Susan was anything but. She was collaborating with the opposition!

It's all getting a bit iffy and not doing the reputation of the Civil Service any favours.

It makes me think just how impartial was Grey when she investigated Boris, he cooperated with her but now she is under the spotlight she is not cooperating at all

Sue Gray did not investigate Johnson she just gathered the evidence, would the evidence have been different if she was not becoming the Labour chief of staff?
Johnson was outed for his stupidity and arrogance not because of Gray.

The spluttering would have been a joy to see..  |

She was asked by Johnson to gather the 'evidence' and present it to the committee, she made no judgement. |
