The Prime Minister has made a solid start doing things all his own way
campaigned under the slogan “change”, and he has wasted little time altering the fabric of Government. An “unsettling” portrait of Margaret Thatcher has reportedly been removed from his study in No 10. Meanwhile his “all powerful” chief of staffMost effective administrations change the personnel around them to those more sympathetic to their cause.
At the top of the tree is Cabinet Secretary, after Simon Case announced he was stepping down early next year. Then Gray is also reported to be lining up her favourites for the second highest Civil Service job in No 10, Principal Private Secretary. And Gray exercises her boss’s mandate in the shadows. She is not a public figure in her own right. It’s early days but so far Starmer has not encouraged his team to be the equivalent to the big characters in Blair’s praetorian guard such as Jonathan Powell, Alastair Campbell, Sally Morgan, Peter Mandelson and Philip Gould.
