BORIS JOHNSON’S government was destabilised by revelations of No 10 parties during Covid lockdowns.
To try to restabilise it, Johnson made Andrew Griffith the head of his policy unit. The PM has broken some conventions with the appointment, while also putting a man who got rich from Rupert Murdoch’s propaganda business and exploiting low-paid “gig” workers in charge of policy.
Griffith’s appointment is a very direct — almost too-on-the-nose — illustration of how power works in Britain.
