QUENTIN LETTS: Lady Gray of Tottenham (Lab) is better known as Sue Gray, the gnomic Whitehall operative who torpedoed Boris Johnson with her report on his lockdown birthday cake.
The former civil servant formally entered the unelected chamber just four months after she was forced out as Sir Keir Starmer 's chief of staff in Downing Street .
Ms Gray's three months in No10 were marked by regular reports of tensions within Sir Keir's top team, while it was leaked that she was earning more than Sir Keir's salary of £166,786.
The Prime Minister is set to appoint Sue Gray as a Labour peer in the house of Lords, as part of a cohort of around 30 of his allies despite plans to cut the chamber.
