    Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has repeatedly refused to say when he first suggested Sue Gray – the former senior civil servant behind the Partygate report – work for him as his chief of staff.

    Sir Keir said he had ‘absolutely no contact’ with Ms Gray before her report on lockdown-busting parties at No.10 in May last year.

    ‘I’ve been looking for a chief of staff for a little while now, but Sue will lay that out, but there’s nothing improper at all,’ he told LBC.

    Cabinet Office minister Jeremy Quin told MPs it was ‘unprecedented’ for a senior civil servant to resign for a job with the opposition. He warned Rishi Sunak may block the appointment if Ms Gray has broken the rules by not warning the anti-corruption Acoba committee of her plans.

    ‘We are checking to make sure what exactly was the run-up to taking this job,’ he said. Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg accused Ms Gray of ‘conniving in secret meetings with the opposition’.

    Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said the Tories were ‘indulging in conspiracy theories’. She asked: ‘What will they ask for next? A debate on moon landings, a bill for draining Loch Ness or a public inquiry into whether the earth is flat?’
