Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing the BBC, report that Nin Pandit will be moved from the principal private secretary role to another government post after roughly ten months.
  • No 10 says she remains in the job and declined to confirm any timetable for a change.
  • The reported move would be the third senior No 10 change in under a year, following Sue Gray’s exit last autumn and Matthew Doyle’s resignation in March.
  • Sources told the BBC the prime minister had doubts about her effectiveness, a claim Downing Street disputes.
  • The role is a key civil service gatekeeper to the prime minister, and the reports have fueled talk of a broader No 10 reset and a possible junior minister reshuffle when Parliament returns in September.
