Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff received a pay rise after the election which means she is now paid more than the prime minister.
The BBC has been told that Sue Gray asked for and was given a salary of £170,000 - £3,000 more than the PM.
Her Conservative predecessor Liam, now Lord, Booth Smith, was paid at the upper end of the highest pay band for special advisers, between £140,000 and £145,000 a year.
That's quite a significant pay rise.
