Sue Gray has resigned as Starmer's chief of staff
Sue Gray has resigned as Sir Keir Starmer's top adviser, Number 10 has announced.
In a statement, the prime minister thanked Ms Gray for "all the support she has given me, both in opposition and government, and her work to prepare us for government and get us started on our programme of change".
She has been appointed as the prime minister's new envoy for regions and nations.
Sir Keir said: "Sue has played a vital role in strengthening our relations with the regions and nations.
"I am delighted that she will continue to support that work."
Announcing her new role, Ms Gray said: "I am pleased to have accepted a new role as the prime minister's envoy for the regions and nations.
"It has been an honour to take on the role of Chief of Staff, and to play my part in the delivery of a Labour government.
"Throughout my career my first interest has always been public service.
"However, in recent weeks it has become clear to me that intense commentary around my position risked becoming a distraction to the government's vital work of change.
"It is for that reason I have chosen to stand aside, and I look forward to continuing to support the prime minister in my new role."
