    As she should. She led a significant inquiry into Partygate which played a massive role in the decline of the Tories vote share. Her being headhunted to be a harpoon of the Labour government was always incredibly shady and calls in to question the independence of her previous work.

    Why does this already feel like the end days of a three term government after only four months?

  3. Huh. Was she picked to take the fall then? Of all the scandals, hers was the nothingburger that stood out.

    Its gonna do nothing for Labour. Just take out Starmer tbh. The Labour Together guys only installed him to purge Corbynites in the first place. Its not like he has anything going for him. No charisma, no political savvyness. Forget that, not even basic political sense.

    Do the centrists still not have an actual viable politician ready to actually lead yet? How long are they gonna stick with the temp hire?

    It’s because Morgan McSweeney and his followers are basically briefing against her constantly.

    That guy is a dangerous character for British politics imo.

    >Sir Keir Starmer’s chief adviser and former Labour general election campaign director Morgan McSweeney will replace Sue Gray as the prime minister’s top adviser.

    So the top brass of the government will be _even_ more inward looking, completely driven by Labour Together’s mantra.

    The media has got used to feeding off political chaos and don’t intend to give up feeding into it as much as they can. They’ve been deposing PMs regularly and they’ll be having a run at Kier. I doubt they actually care about who is PM, they’re just addicted to the power.

    To take up a new role as the PM’s envoy for nations and regions, important info missing from the headline.

  8. >She has been appointed as the prime minister’s new envoy for regions and nations.

    The (always deluded) idea that the civil service were impartial during the previous government is surely in tatters for good.

    Its funny that this Labour government already looks to be in utter chaos 4 months in.

    This feels like Starmer is reshuffling to turn the optics around with all this pay and freebie row? I have no clue how Labour are shitting the bed after four months! Pull yourselves together!

    Feels like the new media got a taste for power after all the Tory cycling, and now they’re desperate not to let go until the next GE so we get this weird frenzy of attack articles and faux-outrage being fed to the readers.

  12. Certainly feels like the media at large just want constant political uncertainty.

    The hit pieces have been constant since Labour took office.

    Just feeds the far-right’s agenda to be seen as the layman’s choice to bring stability.

    Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.

  13. What’s that, a government that did everything in it’s power to avoid criticism turns out to be a weak government.

    Weird that.
