British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Sue Gray, has announced her resignation just over three months after the Labour Party’s parliamentary election victory. Her departure comes amid growing speculation regarding internal conflicts within Starmer's team.
In a statement, Gray acknowledged that "intense commentary around my position risked becoming a distraction to the government's vital work of change." This move has raised eyebrows and prompted discussions about the dynamics within Labour's leadership as it seeks to solidify its agenda.
Despite her resignation, Gray will continue to serve the party in a new role as Starmer's envoy for the regions and nations, a position that aims to strengthen Labour’s connections across the UK.
The Prime Minister’s office confirmed that Morgan McSweeney, who previously served as chief adviser to Starmer, will succeed Gray as chief of staff.
