Darren Jones given new role as Keir Starmer revamps No 10 team

Darren Jones has been awarded an important number 10 role by Sir Kir Stmper, as the Prime Minister shook his downing street team as the return of Parliament.

Jones, who spent the Chief Secretary of Treasury last year, has been appointed to the Prime Minister for the new role of the Chief Secretary.

He will be replaced in the Treasury by James Murray, who was previously a treasury secretary in the department, whose role will be filled by an economist Dan Tomlinson, who was first elected as a Labor MP in the last year’s general election.

One of the communication directors of Sir Keir, James Leone is also going even after less than a year, appointed in October.

It is unusual to appoint an MP like Jones for the role of a backroom in Downing Street, but earlier, Boris Johnson appointed Steve Barkley, an MP for five months in 2022 as his Chief of Staff.

It comes after a hard summer for the government, with a record number of small boat crossings this year, with the dominant news agenda of asylum and migration.

Home Secretary Yatete Cooper will later make a statement to Parliament, as the ministers try to get the initiative on the issue.

Confirming the changes, a Downing Street spokesman said Jones “will work directly into the government to support the government’s plan for distribution and change of priorities of the Prime Minister”.

Jones have grown quickly since the Jones ranks have been quickly increased since Bristol North West was selected as an MP in 2017.

He has been the Chancellor’s deputy since the labor came to power and led the review of the expenditure in June, shaped government money for the next five years.

Jones will still participate in the cabinet, and the cabinet level ministers are not expected to be widespread reshuffle.

A 10 communication team is also shaking, in which fresh economic expertise has also been brought.

Leones were in charge of the communication strategy of number 10, sharing the role with the Step driver, who live in place.

Monday’s reform is not the first attempt to reset the story since assuming power in July last year.

Last October was done by the Director of Communications Matthew Doyle after the departure of his Chief of Staff Suu Gray. Except in march,

The BBC revealed last week that Sir Kir, a prominent colleague of his prominent private secretary Nin Pandit, was moving for a policy role in number 10.

A former deputy governor of the Bank of England, Barrows Minusche Shaffik has also been hired as the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisor.

A spokesperson of Downing Street said that these backcroum moves “would support the government to move and increase the standard of living for all fast and go fast”.

However, Conservative Party President Kevin Hallinrek compared the shake-up for firefighters during the burning of the house “arguing about the firefighters.

He said, “This chaotic reshuffle shows a downing street in crisis – the economy, jobs and small businesses were completely distracted by fixing the losses done,” he said.
