What on earth is going on at the top of government? | The Daily T Podcast

Westminster is in a gossip frenzy after the BBC revealed that Sue Gray, the Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, asked for and was given a salary of £170,000 - £3,000 more than the PM. Now leaks, power struggles and disgruntled advisers are dominating the headlines.
It all comes as Sir Freebies himself is under fresh scrutiny for accepting more hospitality from donor Lord Alli, with the Telegraph revealing that Starmer used his £18m penthouse on multiple occasions.
So Kamal and Camilla simply ask - what on earth is going on at the top of government, and how has it all unravelled so quickly?

It seems more and more in UK politics that others, rather than those elected, are pulling the strings. eg Rebekah Brooks, Dominic Cummings etc.

We elect a party and the leader becomes PM, no one elected Sue Grey.

Sue Grey was a necessary evil. The Tories had to go.
