Keir Starmer's inner circle expressed deep concerns about a dysfunctional Downing Street, urging him to regain control amid growing tensions and damaging headlines.
Sue Gray, Starmer's chief of staff, became a controversial figure, receiving mixed support from cabinet ministers and being criticized for her perceived control freakery, which stymied decision-making.
Gray's exorbitant salary compared to the Prime Minister's, alongside pay cuts for special advisers, fueled resentment, raising questions about the fairness and dynamics within No 10.
Concerns linger about the No 10 political operation being in 'opposition mode,' rather than effectively leading the government, as tensions and frustrations remain palpable.
