Exclusive: Keir Starmer has hired a former editor of The Sun to one of the most senior government communications roles. David Dinsmore has won the race for the newly created position of permanent secretary for communications. Comes with Labour’s success at keeping voters on side in question as they slump from 34% to 22% in the polls in a year. Starmer personally interviewed the final candidates and was impressed with his understanding of modern comms. It is a civil service role not a political appointment. No changes in the No10 comms team. He’ll be tasked with overhauling the vast gov communications operation. (There are 7,000 government comms officers - roughly one per 5,000 voters.)
