Sue Gray Resigns Amidst Tensions and Disputes

Sue Gray, the chief of staff to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has resigned amid tensions and disputes over her role within Downing Street, particularly concerning her salary and political strategy. Despite criticisms and media scrutiny, Gray emphasized that the intense commentary around her position had become a distraction to the government's agenda for change. Gray, who played a significant role in the Labour Party's preparation for government, will now serve as the Prime Minister's envoy for nations and regions, continuing to support initiatives such as English devolution. Prime Minister Starmer thanked Gray for her contributions and expressed confidence in her continued support in the new role. Her resignation follows Labour's recent electoral success but has been marred by internal conflicts and public disputes over her compensation and influence. Morgan McSweeney, previously Starmer's chief adviser, is set to replace Gray as chief of staff.
