Cabinet ministers have come together to support Sue Gray, the chief of staff at Downing Street, condemning the negative briefings against her as "appalling" and warning that such actions could jeopardize the entire government. In an effort to quell the ongoing controversies, Keir Starmer firmly rejected claims that he had lost control of his team, asserting that he was "completely in control" of operations at No 10. The situation has sparked significant political tension, with ministers emphasizing the need to put an end to the damaging disputes surrounding Gray.
