abour leader Sir Keir Starmer has refused to be drawn on questions about Sue Gray following speculation the party could have to wait a year for the former senior civil servant to start as his chief of staff.

Sir Keir said there is a “process in place” when asked about reports that it could be recommended that there be a 12-month gap between Ms Gray’s resignation from the Cabinet Office and starting her employment with the Labour Party.
