Gray is leading the investigation into Boris Johnson's Partygate scandal edit

Please keep this in the article.2601:447:4000:220:4C66:79D1:73CA:713A (talk) 01:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Husband edit

...her husband Bill Conlon.

Are they still married? There is no mention of any husband in the Info Box, as would be usual. Valetude (talk) 23:59, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Recent articles like this indicate that they are married, so there seems no reason not to include it in the infobox. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:16, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Link to Partygate should be in lead edit

It seems likely several readers will come to this article because they are looking for "the Sue Gray report" and unsure of the name of the article on this topic (Partygate, which was until yesterday Westminster lockdown parties controversy). It would be useful for readers to have a link to Partygate in the lead of this article, and it is also a significant part of the article that deserves summary in the lead. I made an edit to this effect yesterday but it was reverted. --LukeSurl t c 09:41, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Article title edit

She is no longer a civil servant - she works for the Labour Party. Admittedly, she became notable when she was a civil servant - but, should the article title now be changed? Perhaps to something like Sue Gray (political adviser)? Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Also a good point - I support that move. SmartSE (talk) 17:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, I waited three weeks, so now that we have a 2-0 "consensus" I've been bold. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:21, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Political party in infobox edit

I've removed the mention of her purported personal political affiliation from the infobox. I could be wrong, but I've not seen anything to confirm her personal political views, and in the UK there is no good reason to assume that she shares the same political views as those of her employer. Her personal views and her employment should not be confused with each other. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes - good point. SmartSE (talk) 17:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Opening paragraph edit

An IP is attempting to add words to the opening paragraph "...Her report into the Partygate scandal, written while she held secret talks with the Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer..." This is covered in the article text, but it seems to be undue weight to refer to it in the opening paragraph, and an attempt to disparage the (living) subject. The words bolded above should be removed and the previous text restored. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
