Every revolution has its casualties and the Truss takeover was no exception. With a new PM comes new courtiers, and No. 10 has duly witnessed a clear-out of staff from Boris Johnson’s ancien régime . And while the fallen king contents himself post-premiership with his long-awaited Shakespeare tome, other members of his court must find new ways to enrich themselves. Among them is Guto Harri, the spin doctor supreme whose greatest hits in Downing Street include claiming his boss wasn’t a ‘complete clown’ and likening Chris Pincher to Dr David Kelly.
So after a glorious seven month spell in government, where next for the comms guru? It seems that Harri is in a hurry to make a quick bob or two. For just three weeks after leaving No. 10, Harri is now being touted on the after-dinner circuit, joining up with the likes of Gavin Williamson and Jeremy Hunt at Chartwell Speakers.
