I guess she's moved/been moved because she was too much of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone saying a while back that as soon as someone doing that sort of job gets name recognition then it's time for them to go. Campbell and Cummings being the obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an empty diary for all senior ministers. I doubt they even know what's going on in the middle East they're concentrating on Sue Gray so much.

Depends on which of the groups of people that dislike her you talk to. Labour sources will tell you she’s a bully and too powerful Tory sources will tell you her appointment is political and unprecedented ( Civil Servants dislike her for other reasons again.

Sue Gray is the kind of person that the full story is never going to be revealed about but suffice to say she's not popular with just about everyone outside of Labour's deepest central office.

She's very, very heavily rumoured to haver been a spy in the 80s in Northern Ireland. The tweet is making fun of the fact she seemingly worked for years in an extremely risky job dealing with undercover work with extremely ruthless paramilitary organisations, but a year working with Red Tories was enough to jump a much less stressful and cutthroat position ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
