Sue Gray: Keir Starmer to nominate ex-adviser to House of Lords
Starmer set to nominate Sue Gray for peerage
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to nominate his former top adviser Sue Gray for a seat in the House of Lords.
The former civil servant, who sprang to fame with her 2022 report into the Partygate scandal, is expected to be among a raft of new Labour peerages to be announced on Thursday.
It comes only two months after she left her role as the prime minister's chief of staff in October, amid internal rows over her influence.
She was then appointed to a newly-created nations and regions role in No 10, but it was confirmed last month she would not be taking up that position.
A number of Conservatives will also be appointed to the upper chamber as part of the announcements on Thursday.
