UK Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff Sue Gray Resigns Amid Political Turmoil

Sue Gray, the chief of staff to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, resigned unexpectedly following weeks of speculation regarding internal power struggles and media scrutiny over her pay. Her departure comes amid concerns about who was responsible for a series of political errors under her watch.

Morgan McSweeney, the strategist behind Labour's successful election campaign earlier this year, has been named as her successor. The change marks an end to months of tension within Downing Street, as Gray and McSweeney had operated dual power bases. Gray’s exit signals a wider reshuffle as Starmer seeks to stabilize his administration.
