Britain: Boris Johnson has appointed a new chief of staff on Downing Street

The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson today appointed a new chief of staff of Downing Street as part of the effort to reorganize his government team after a series of scandals that have damaged his prestige.

Steve Barkley, the former Brexit minister under Prime Minister Theresa May, will be Downing Street’s chief of staff, the prime minister’s office said.

“The changes I am announcing today will improve the way Downing Street operates, strengthen the role of government and lawmakers, and accelerate our crucial mission of upgrading the country,” Boris Johnson said in a statement.

The British Prime Minister has repeatedly refused to resign following the revelations about organizing a party on Downing Street amid the lockdowns to deal with the pandemic.

The revelations have raised questions about the chaotic way in which Boris Johnson’s government is being run and the leadership team that surrounds him, and are adding to another series of scandals that accompany his prime ministership.
