‘Look out for fireworks’: power struggle rumours between No 10 big beasts persist
Downing Street officials deny friction between Sue Gray and Morgan McSweeney, but negative briefings continue
Keir Starmer told his staff on his first day in office their duty was to return politics to service and to end self-interest.
Yet it has taken less than a month for negative, personal briefings from within Downing Street to emerge in the press, suggesting all is not entirely well in the working relationship between the two big beasts close to the prime minister: Sue Gray, the prime minister’s chief of staff, and Morgan McSweeney, Labour’s election strategy guru.
Well, looks like the immature children in government are already fighting amongst themselves. Even the Left Wing Guardian paper are having to publicise the playground antics of Oh Dear Kier's child cabinet. No one is surprised though.
