Oh

[Crimson Dynamo]

mess

[MTVN]

She's a disgrace honestly, shouldn't be retaining another government job

[Crimson Dynamo]

Another “made up job” for a person promoted way beyond their intellect. The gravy train
continues……

"The former civil servant said she had accepted a new role as the Prime Minister’s envoy
for the regions and nations "

[Cherie]

Will she still be earning more than the PM, ...turn the page, a reset, governing for the people, yadda yadda yadda

what does that even mean, get her gone and put the money into the 'black hole', surely every penny counts :shrug:

[MTVN]

Yeah it doesn't seem like this role has ever existed before from Google

Presumably it's to manage affairs with devolved governments and local authorities but would think there is plenty of people involved in that already so not sure how the chain of command works there

They've obviously created the role for her. Pathetic.

[Oliver_W]

Snouts in troughs. They just moved her to a different one.

[Cherie]

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Labour would be this bad so quickly :joker: absolute farce

[Gusto Brunt]

I totally agree. Apparently she was 'so great at her job', Starmer fell head of heels to hire her for Labour.

How was she great at her job working for the Tories? They had bad publicity day after day. What the heck was she doing 'advising' anyone? :fist:

She's hopeless. But you get this in government: they all butter each other up but they're all clueless.

I wouldn't let Sue Gray run a bath, never mind anything else. :fist:

Also, you bet she'll be paid loads of money from British tax payers till she pops her clogs.

[smudgie]

Surprise surprise, more Labour Bull.

[joeysteele]

I'm not too pleased she's gone from the role.
Although it will stop further festering of issues rightly or wrongly directed at her, as there were with Dominic Cummings with Boris Johnson.

This clearly, and will please for some reasons those who didn't and never had any intention of voting Labour anyhow.

Some women it seems at times, really need to watch themselves as once the media turn on anyone or target them, they're in trouble.
I don't myself however see a need for a new role for her.
I actually agree with MTVN that the area she's now going to be involved in must have all that was needed in place anyhow.

Good luck to her from me though.
I think she'll still need loads of luck in any role as the media aren't likely to be satisfied as to bringing her down, YET!

[bots]

I don't understand the Sue Gray saga at all, none of it makes any sense

[arista]

She did not want to be a distraction.

I would have thought she was perfect to distract from pulling the plug on winter fuel allowance

Sue Gray just like Dominic Cummings.

Both hailed as hightly intelligent and competent. Don't make me laugh.

Both of them resided over government at its worst. Cumming intelligent? He the dumb idiot who said he drove on a main road to test his eyesight.

Dumb if he meant it and even dumber if he wanted us to believe it.

These people like Gray and Cummings live in a bubble where they're praised by other politicians and the media. But they public know, neither Cummings or Gray could run a whelk stall..

BBC News Text:
[Unnamed "senior Whitehall figures" are quoted
by the Times as saying the "No10 crisis" is
"bigger than Sue Gray".
One of its sources says "dysfunction in
Downing Street is not the fault" of Ms Gray
who resigned after being caught up
in rows over pay.
There were other, "systematic issues"
which Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer
had "not addressed", the source said.]

The Regions and Nations
meeting : Sue Gray did not appear.


Sue Gray will not attend summit in new regions role


[Asked how long Ms Gray's break would be,
McFadden said: "I don't think it will be long,
but let's give her a bit of space and privacy
after somebody who, as I said,
can't speak up for themselves,
finding themselves on the front pages
of the newspapers in a way
that she has not wanted to be."]

She's not taking up this fake job after all :skull:

[Oliver_W]

So what made it worth it for her to extract her snout from this particular trough?

[bots]

So what made it worth it for her to extract her snout from this particular trough?


When they First Got her
Boris was PM


But after Sue gets into arguments
with cocky Labour MPs

She thought this lot wasn't worth her efforts,


Ref: 3 MPs and an Adviser to Labour
talking on Times Radio AM.

the mystery deepens, it seems she was encouraged to take that position or her job offer would be cancelled :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

How much do you wanna bet she'll be in the House of Lords by the end of the year?
