Rishi Sunak is pursuing a “vendetta” against former top civil servant Sue Gray, Labour’s Rachel Reeves has claimed.

The shadow chancellor said the prime minister is “doubling down” on Boris Johnson’s “vendetta” against the civil servant over her Partygate investigation.

Ms Reeves’ comments came after a government inquiry into Ms Gray’s resignation to take up a top job with Labour was paused following her refusal to engage with the probe.
