Details of the Salary Dispute
Sue Gray, who previously served as the Prime Minister's chief of staff, had her offer to become a "regions envoy" for No10 revoked after requesting to be paid more per day than the Prime Minister himself. Civil servants were concerned about the high wage she was demanding and were considering publicly stating that she was not value for money.
Background and Salary Figures
Gray, who earned £170,000 annually in her former role, was looking for a de facto pay rise to take on the part-time envoy position. Despite the Prime Minister's yearly salary of £166,786, Gray wanted a higher daily rate for her work in the new role.
Reactions and Fallout
Reports indicate that Gray's insistence on a significant pay increase led to the withdrawal of the job offer by No10. A Westminster source mentioned that Gray was firm on her monetary demands, while another source highlighted the irony of her previous efforts to reduce salaries while seeking more for herself.
The salary dispute with Gray comes shortly after her resignation as the PM's chief of staff due to earning more than the Prime Minister. Despite the recent developments, Gray is expected to receive a seat in the House of Lords as a consolation prize.
When contacted for comment, Ms. Gray's representatives did not respond, and the Labour Party declined to provide a statement on the matter.
