Gray: I’m First on the List for the Lords
There is some disbelief in government that Sue Gray is still managing to make herself the story a week after she got the sack. She’s now “on a break” while actually battling in Downing Street for a golden goodbye and new salary…
There has been some speculation that Gray will be punted off to the Lords imminently – other briefings play down the chances of that. It looks like there’s at least one person who believes the rumours…
Guido hears that Sue has, incredibly, been heard boasting that she’s the first name on the list to get into the Lords in the New Years honours. Enough time for her to settle in to her fake envoy job before being quietly whisked to the upper chamber…
A government source tells Guido:
“Pushing for a job at a house full of unelected great n’goods saying no to politicians and ignoring the voters? Sounds about right.”
Safe to say there’s not much sympathy left for “Britain’s most powerful woman”…
