No 10 asked Foreign Office to find job for senior Starmer aide, says Olly Robbins

Downing Street requested the UK Foreign Office to secure a diplomatic role for Keir Starmer’s former communications chief, Matthew Doyle, who was later suspended as a Labour peer after being linked to a friend charged with possessing indecent images of children. Former civil servant Olly Robbins confirmed these discussions during testimony to parliament’s foreign affairs committee.
