Ms Gray herself has yet to comment.

The government confirmed on Thursday that she has left her position as a senior official at The Levelling up and Housing Department .

A Labour spokesman said she " hopes to accept the role" as Sir Keir's chief of staff " subject to the normal procedures".

Conservative MP Alexander Stafford , a former ministerial aide to Mr Johnson, said The Appointment " doesn't pass the sniff test" and " undermines the Civil Service ".

Former minister Jacob Rees-Mogg, a cabinet minister under Mr Johnson, has said Ms Gray's Partygate conclusions now looked " like a left-wing stitch up".
