The Prime Minister's chief of staff Sue Gray is being criticised for having a higher salary than him.
Keir Starmer has “no political input” in the pay of his advisers, a Labour Cabinet minister has said.
Reynolds told Sky News: “I think it’s important people understand that the pay bands for any official, any adviser, are not set by politicians. There’s an official process that does that. On whether Starmer personally intervened to increase Gray’s salary, Reynolds said: “There’s a process that sets these things. It is widely recognised. It’s long-standing. It hasn’t changed and that is how pay bands are set for any adviser.”
