If you remember Blair had the same problem with Brown, who established his own fiefdom and spent 10 years undermining Blair. Most of the Corbyn front bench were there because they supported Corbyn. Starmer was unlucky with his choices and I regret all the freebie’s he and his top people accepted. However he has almost a complete term to achieve his top objectives and may astound us all.

Hi Rachel, you say: "either the Prime Minister was unable to resolve tensions in his team . . . or Gray was the wrong fit from the start . . . " Maybe both, as he will probably waste more valuable political capital trying to make Brexit work (that was equally impossible) thus hampering his future attempts at an 'EU Reset' !
