Why is Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff paid more than him?
The government has hit back at claims that top civil servant Sue Gray declined to be paid less than the prime minister. The BBC reported today that Gray is now paid more than Sir Keir Starmer, citing one unnamed source saying: “It was suggested that she might want to go for a few thousand pounds less than the prime minister to avoid this very story. She declined.” Other government insiders and sources were reportedly furious about the situation, but the government hit back at the report this afternoon.
