Keir Starmer has cleared the air with some of his party’s most high-profile mayors after a crunch meeting in London facilitated by his new chief of staff, Sue Gray.
The Labour leader met the party’s mayors last month in King’s Cross, north London, according to several people with knowledge of the meeting, following occasional friction between him and Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, in particular.
