Labour says it is ‘utterly ludicrous’ to claim hiring Sue Gray means Partygate report was biased – UK politics live

Comments come as Tory anger grows over Labour poaching Gray to work as Keir Starmer’s chief of staff

Alex Thomas, a former civil servant who now works at the Institute for Government thinktank, has been giving interviews about the propriety of the Sue Gray appoinment this morning. Here are some of the main points he has been making.

Thomas described the appointment of Gray as chief of staff to Keir Starmer was “unusual” and “surprising”. He told the Today programme:

I do think this is unusual, it’s surprising. Although civil servants have crossed the aisle before – Jonathan Powell for Tony Blair, or others – I mean, it hasn’t happened before with a civil servant who was still serving of this seniority and with the public profile and career history in the deep centre of government that Sue Grey has.

He said the appointment “raises quite tricky questions for the civil service in the long term about the trust of relationship between ministers and civil servants”.

He said it was important for Gray to stress that she would not be divulging confidential information she obtained when she was in government. He told Times Radio:

Sue Gray can’t unknow what she knows. And if she does this job, I do think she needs to be very clear she’s not going to share details of the work that she did in government.

But Thomas rejected suggestions that the appointment meant Gray might have acted in a biase manner as a civil servant. Thomas said that he had worked with her, and that he had always seen her “behave entirely impartially and equally robustly with ministers and political advisers of any party”.
