Sue Gray's Labour Activist Son

[naomi24]

Sue Gray was last night facing fresh questions about alleged bias as pictures of her son, Liam Conlon, standing alongside Sir Keir Starmer emerged – including one taken during her Partygate probe.

The pictures reignited the ‘impartiality’ row engulfing the former top civil servant after she quit her Whitehall role last week to become Sir Keir’s chief of staff.

Liam Conlon is chair of the Labour Party Irish Society, and has recently campaigned for Labour candidate Danny Beales in Boris Johnson’s Uxbridge seat in west London.

Meanwhile, Sue Gray, reportedly a friend of Keir Starmer since his time as Director of Public Prosecutions, still hasn't said when conversations with Starmer regarding her new appointment began, a question Starmer has also avoided answering.

The plot thickens…. and it's a stinky one.

civil servants are not required to be completely apolitical… they are required to separate their personal politics from their professional duties

is there any proof that sue gray failed to do the latter?

To summarise:

She was a perfectly able civil servant until she wasn't because some oaf and his cronies had to have a drink.
Oh, and all Labour politicians are Moscow stooges.

If nothing else Project Fill Answerbank continues apace.

However the left are trying to cut it, it sure doesnt look good.

I am surprised Sir Kier took her on to be honest.

As for the son, no it doesnt follow they are hand in hand but given the circumstances it does add fuel to the fire.

Personally I dont think any civil servant should then move to a political party - any party.

BA to Douglas
Oh and senior civil servants move around more than you think!

[youngmafbog]

Not into Political Parties they dont.

Yes they do move around a lot, usually just before they are found out for their incompetence as far as I have seen.

[naomi24]

RH, you don't know the Civil Service as well as you think you do.

[douglas9401]

:-D

[Redhelen72]

You’re right Naomi after 26 years I know nothing about the civil service.

[naomi24]

RH, I don't doubt you know about the bit you know about.

[Redhelen72]

You are unbelievable Naomi.

[youngmafbog]

26 years in the civil service.

Well that tells me all I need to know about you and answers a lot of questions.

Naomi is correct, you cannot judge your little bit and apply it across the board. For instance your understanding doesnt align with my observations.

[naomi24]

Thank you, RH.

[douglas9401]

"... you cannot judge your little bit and apply it across the board."

But naomi can?

[naomi24]

Where did I do that, douglas?

[Redhelen72]

/Well that tells me all I need to know about you and answers a lot of questions. /

Care to expand on that

A civil service career is a pretty good way to learn the realities of government...

I don't see the problem with civil servants going into politics provided they don't go back again!

"For instance your understanding doesnt align with my observations."

oh well it MUST be wrong then! Lol

[naomi24]

Actually untitled, another ABer who’s a civil servant has disagreed with RH in the past. I think it was about rules applying to their places of work during Covid. She might remember it.

a sign of desperation when the Tories have to start dragging family into it.

Loathsome as Mark Thatcher is, I never blamed his mother for him.

[Redhelen72]

Oh I do remember Naomi, the other person was saying what their department did but I was commenting on what 4 departments were doing!
