Former senior civil servant Sue Gray has been cleared to start working for the Labour Party from September.

The appointments watchdog recommended a six month break from when she quit as an official in March.

Some Tories had expressed anger that she was offered a job as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff.

They said it undermined the impartiality of her report on lockdown gatherings in No 10, which contributed to Boris Johnson's downfall.
