Boris Johnson called Sue Gray ‘psycho’, says ex-No 10 spin doctor

Guto Harri reveals PM’s scathing remarks and claims Johnson wanted to move Sunak from chancellor job

Boris Johnson called the former top civil servant who oversaw the Partygate inquiry a “psycho”, according to the ex-No 10 communications chief.

Guto Harri revealed the ex-prime minister’s scathing views on Sue Gray – who resigned last month to take up a role with Labour as Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff.

Mr Harri, director of communications under the former PM, has alleged that Mr Johnson “squared up to” King Charles in a “showdown” meeting over the government’s Rwanda policy.
