What On Earth Is An Prime Minister's Envoy For Nations And Regions?

[barney15c]

So Sue Gray has been moved sideways, to what seemingly seems like a made up job on probably the same salary if not more.

I  bet the position ill be withdrawn as soon as Ms Grey decides to retire.

What on eath does this new role entail?

[davebro3]

Ridiculous made up sinecure. Get rid of the woman for goodness sakes.

[Prudie]

Sounds like a euphemism for someone who goes on holiday a lot under the guise of the business trip label.

[barney15c]

This is something straight out of the Sir Humphrey Appleby playbook.  What utter BS.

It'll keep her on board.

As LBJ might have  said: Better to have her inside the tent peeing out, than outside peeing in.

Exacty Sandy, Keep youre friemds close but your enemies closer.

The woman should be investigated for her civil service role, its clear she was not impartial.

Envoy For Nations and Regions

Maybe it was she who came up with the bright idea to hand back the Chagos Is. 

[New Judge]

Her position is nothing to do with abroad.

There is something called "The Council of Regions and Nations".

"The Council, which was created over the summer by Mr. Starmer, will involve the Prime Minister, the First Ministers of the three devolved administrations, and the mayors of England’s combined authorities. These figures will work together to solve issues at a regionalised level."

So it seems that issues which have been devolved will be solved by a Council that the Prime Minister has set up. Not much point in devolving them, really.
